Located at 20300 S Figueroa St, Carson, CA 90745, Maria’s Garden Center operates as a wholesale nursery serving Carson in California. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as flower delivery, garden center, landscaping supply store, so it may cover more than the name suggests.

In Carson, garden centers are busiest on spring weekends, when new stock arrives and popular plants sell out; weekday mornings are calmer and staff have more time to answer questions. Ask which plants are hardy for your USDA zone in California, whether trees and shrubs carry a replacement guarantee (one year is common), and whether the nursery delivers and plants large items. Fall is the best planting season for many trees and perennials, and end-of-season sales are common. Many nurseries close or shorten hours in winter, so check the listing for current hours and Google rating before you go.

Hours are published for 6 days a week. On most of those days it is open 7 am–4 pm. Note that it does not open on Sunday. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. You can reach Maria’s Garden Center at (310) 527-7750; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions.
