Our Story: Rooted in Santa Barbara Since 1968
West Covina Wholesale Nursery began with a simple vision: to provide the highest quality plants to professionals who shape California's landscapes. Founded by Dick and Ann Zylstra, our nursery started as a family operation dedicated to sustainable growing practices and exceptional customer service.
For over five decades, we've cultivated our reputation as a leading wholesale nursery on the West Coast. From our original location in Santa Barbara, we've grown alongside the region's garden centers, landscapers, and contractors, understanding their unique needs and challenges.
Today, we continue the Zylstra family legacy—combining decades of horticultural expertise with modern growing techniques to supply professionals with healthy, vibrant plants that thrive in California's diverse climates.
