Green Life by Shamus O Leary Tropicals

Very unique selection of plants. The lady (Kim maybe?) was super helpful and resourceful. Answered all my questions about selection, variety, water etc and showed us a ton of pictures to get an idea of how to get the micro climate for more sensitive trees (avocado) Sounds like march is the best time for selection but it’s mostly all tropical plants. Lots of stuff here you wont find anywhere else in Phoenix. Especially fruit trees. Amazing variety and good prices compared to summer winds, moon valley etc. 4-5 different oranges limes and lemons, multiple bananas, all kinds of weird stuff I’d never seen before like a curry tree and the workers kept telling me they hardly had anything available. No cactus or desert plants. It’s not your typical nursery yet one of the best in Phoenix. A must visit if you’re looking for shade trees or passionate about your yard.

Went to the nursery today because of the black Friday deal that was happening. If you don't follow shamus o'leary's tropical fruit trees Facebook page I highly recommend you do it. He posts when deals are happening and great tips ect. We went on Saturday after paying for some citrus trees and sugar cane. I'm assuming Saturday is normally busy (after reading some reviews) but tack on a black Friday sale and you can guess probably more so than usual. We were able to find the owner pretty easily and ask him where to pick up our order. If you want more attention don't go on a busy day y'all. It's as simple as that and do your research if your interested in something he has. Everyone was very busy today but not rude in my opinion, y'all need to have some grace and bring back patience. Thank you for the great deal Shamus, I can't wait to be able to fully peruse your nursery when I'm not on a time crunch!

I will bring anyone here with me that will get in the car. I’m a guy that does a lot of research in advance before I start a project. There’s truly so much to see in person at GreenLife that it can still be overwhelming to walk the nursery, even when I think I know exactly what I came in for. The inventory this place carries is unique and impressive, the employees know what they’re talking about, and it really is just an incredible asset to the Phoenix tropical/edible plant community. The fact is that if you want to grow these sort of plants successfully, no amount of research beats walking in and talking to someone who spends everyday taking care of them. I’ve been helped by a few people at this nursery, but Kimberly is the all time favorite by a long shot. Every nursery employee in town wants to help sell you a tree, but not everybody cares enough to listen to your plan and help you get on your way to the finish line. Talking through my vision, seeing pictures of her own projects, and hearing her honest and knowledgable personal and professional advice gave me exactly the confidence boost I needed to feel like I’m doing the right thing digging big old holes in my yard. The trees are impressive, but it’s that type of customer experience that will keep me coming back over and over again. Thanks!

Had an amazing & peaceful start to my morning at Green Life. I was pleasantly surprised walking in hearing and seeing such a beautiful little water feature set up with a sweet greeter kitty ready for lovings, beautiful plants and butterflies fluttering around. I had no trouble finding my way around and shopping for new plants, trees and bushes. They have a great variety, prices and exceptional customer service. Was a delightful morning and I will definitely be back!

I've purchased several trees and plants here. They have all been of good quality. The property is an oasis and it's easy to lose track of time. My kiddo loves to sit by the Koi pond and is thrilled when someone brings over the food for us to feed them. It's a pretty relaxed atmosphere. I do wish the website could be improved with filter functions and accurate inventory. One time I made a purchase online and when I arrived the next day, was told that they didn't have access to see web orders, so I just had to show them the order on my phone, then go collect my own items. Overall, I'm thankful that this place exists and will definitely be returning. I also appreciate Shamus' YouTube vids!
