We offer High-quality, Organic Fertilizers to Nourish Gardens

At City Farmers Nursery, we're committed to providing our customers with high-quality, organic fertilizers to nourish their gardens and promote sustainable growing practices.

Our extensive selection of bulk fertilizers caters to a wide range of gardening needs, from small container plants to large-scale landscaping projects.

Our bulk fertilizer section features a variety of organic options, including our popular fruit tree and vegetable gardening fertilizer. We also offer specialized mixes like our Citrus and Avocado Food, designed to meet the specific nutritional requirements of these fruit trees.

For those looking to enrich their soil naturally, we stock bulk compost and worm castings, which improve soil structure and provide essential nutrients.

One of our standout offerings is our custom-blended organic fertilizers, sold by the pound, in compostable paper bags. You can mix and match based on your recipe, to suit your specific gardening needs. Whether you're growing vegetables, nurturing ornamentals, or maintaining a hillside, our team can help you create the perfect fertilizer blend.

By offering fertilizers in bulk, we not only provide a cost-effective solution for our customers but also contribute to reducing plastic waste from individual packaging. Our bulk options allow you to purchase exactly the amount you need, whether it's a small bag for your herb garden or a truckload for your orchard.

At City Farmers Nursery, we believe in the power of smart feeding plants to create healthier outcomes and a healthier environment. Our bulk fertilizer section is our way of offering San Diego gardeners the tools they need to grow successfully while supporting sustainable practices.

A San Diego Legacy Since 1972

City Farmers Nursery has been a cornerstone of the San Diego community since its founding in 1972 by Bill Tall, affectionately known as Farmer Bill. Starting as a small roadside stand, the nursery has grown into a 1.5-acre destination for gardening enthusiasts. Bill’s vision was to create a place that not only offered quality plants but also provided free gardening advice and education to all visitors.

Over the years, City Farmers has expanded its offerings to include a wide range of native plants, edibles, and ornamental varieties. The nursery is dedicated to supporting local schools by helping establish gardens and providing resources for educational programs. Community give-back is a key part of its mission, with regular donations to local nonprofits.

City Farmers also hosts free events throughout the year, including workshops and classes that promote sustainable gardening practices. Services such as soil testing, plant diagnosis, and space planning are available to assist gardeners in their projects. 

Today, under the leadership of Bill's son Sam Tall, City Farmers Nursery continues to thrive as a family-owned business, maintaining its commitment to quality, education, and community support while honoring the legacy of its roots.

Plan your visit!

A day-trip destination,
made even better by our neighbors!
