Our Story

Run by a Santa Barbara Native

"I have been an avid horticulturalist all of my life. I began farming here in Santa Barbara at an early age selling my harvests door to door. This really piqued my interest as a kid." — Nat Waller, Owner

After studying Agricultural Engineering at UC Davis, Nat honed his craft at local nurseries before opening Pro Garden Supply on Milpas Street in 2004. Today he's known throughout Santa Barbara as "the fruit tree guy" — and the nursery is a resource for homeowners, gardeners, landscapers, and folks who just have a small space to practice their love of plants.

The nursery is a true family operation — co-run by Alissa, with their son Aiden as junior garden pro. Walk-ins, drive-throughs, phone orders, and deliveries are all welcome.

Nat Waller

Founder & Owner · Pro Garden Supply

Nat Waller is a lifelong Santa Barbara horticulturist who started his journey selling produce door-to-door as a kid in west Goleta. After studying Agricultural Engineering at UC Davis, he honed his craft at local nurseries — including La Sumida and Agri-Turf — before opening Pro Garden Supply in 2004.

Two decades later, Nat is still on the floor every day, helping everyone from professional landscapers to first-time gardeners find exactly what they need. He's especially known for his encyclopedic knowledge of fruit trees — earning him the nickname "the fruit tree guy" around Santa Barbara.

Pro Garden Supply is a garden supply shop or condensed nursery that is both metaphorically and authentically a hidden gem. The quality of plants this business displays is high. Their knowledge far surpassed any garden affiliated person I met in my life. I recommend ALL to stop by!
