This is my favorite nursery! They have a great selection of local native plants that are also healthy, well-sourced, and good price. The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. I love their online inventory and order system; they will pull and hold orders, and it’s easy to get there and park. Their demonstration gardens are beautiful and helpful too.

Really neat little nursery and helpful volunteers! I found several hard to track down natives and a lot of fun smaller plants, as well as many studry shrubs and trees! If I had more space in the car I would have spent way too much! Fun stickers and also gift items for sale here as well, not just plants. A lovely space that I hope to visit again soon

This is an awesome place to get native plants ! The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. I needed to purchase native plants for a school rewilding project. I had very specific requirements for the plants: They had to be good for pollinators, drought tolerant and non toxic. The staff guided me to make excellent selections. The prices are more than reasonable. I was able to buy far more plants than I expected to be able to. All of the plants I purchased were healthy and are now thriving in my school garden.

I LOVE this nursery for California native plants. It's easy to get to although parking can be hairy. The selection is lovely. The plants are very healthy and the prices cannot be beat. They stock varieties that are hard to find, and well-adapted to the East Bay. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and sweet. I've been shopping here for almost a decade and everything I've put into the ground has flourished just remember to do your homework and make sure you're planting the right one for the location you want ;) You can't blame others if you've made bad choices about plant location. I appreciate that they stock plenty of plants in 4" pots, because who has time to dig a gallon+ size hole!? You can go on their website to check out their current inventory. Very helpful for planning.

The folks there were nice on our first visit. They seemed knowledgeable and were genuinely trying to help us find the right plants. Like another reviewer, after leaving, I noticed we were overcharged so be careful upon checking out. About a week or two later after taking home the plants and repotting per the instructions, the plants definitely had some issues. Tried calling back several times for advice and they just ignored. :( I do love that they sell native plants but really unfortunate as my experience with other nurseries is that the owners are responsive. This place could do better.

Absolutely love this nursery. I've gotten lots of plants from them over the past few years for my garden. The folks who work there are so kind, friendly, and knowledgeable and always help me find the perfect plant for shady, sunny spots, pots, whatever I need. I always enjoy going there. It's all outdoors so safe too!
