Every person I've encountered has been such a gem; they're kind and down to earth. Some of the plants are a bit on the pricey side, but they are all beautiful and well cared for, and you're supporting a small business, so it's worth it. On my last trip, I scored a beautiful Hoya Kerrii for $13.50. It was such a fantastic deal considering how many leaves it has! I also love that they have tiny plants in tiny pots, which makes you feel like you're growing something from scratch, plus they're super cute! I'm not in the East Bay often but will make sure I stop here, next time I'm in the area. Highly recommend!

I really love that it's POC/queer-owned and an LGBTQ+ welcoming space. The plants are on the pricier side, but it's absolutely worth it--everything is pest-free, handled with proper care, and their soil mix is great. Their new store is also fantastic--much bigger with a bright, airy feel. Will continue coming back :)

Get ready to be inspired for a native plant garden of your own! Oaktown Native Plant Nursery makes…read moreit easy. I was reading about pocket forests for biodiversity and thinking about how planting more natives around weed-laden yard would be beneficial, and also cooling in this concrete jungle which is an urban heat center. If you could do something about it with native plants that support pollinators and more, why not? Whether you have pots/containers, your apartment's shared space, a community garden, your/neighbor's yard - or volunteer to adopt a traffic circle in Berkeley and plant natives in there. You can't go wrong browsing the Oaktown Native Plant Nursery website, reading up on the plants, buying plants online, then picking them up at the Oaktown Native Plant Nursery - and also getting Vik's Chaat for lunch while you're in the area.

I will rated this place with 3 stars, because I saved lots of money buying the Dahlias bulbs from them.

Im…read moreso glad I went when originally, I was planning on ditching my ticket because I was honestly too lazy to attend after work on a Monday. However, I made myself go because I wasn't going to throw away $80 because I was lazy. The workshop was fun! We drank wine, ate cupcakes, put together our own floral arrangement, and made friends and even had a 15% discount if we shopped. Unfortunately, since the event started a little late, it ended later than I anticipated and I had to rush home instead of shopping like I had hoped. The shop had goddess candles, cute drinking glasses, watering cans and just beautiful ass plants! I'm definitely coming back to shop.

This non-profit community farm is such a peaceful hidden gem. It's filled with a wide variety of…read moregarden fruits, vegetables, and plants--everything from herbs and veggie starts to full-grown trees. It's a great spot if you're looking to grow your own food or just enjoy a calm walk through nature. There's a section for indoor houseplants, but it's a bit limited. Most of the options are Succulent plants and hardier varieties, so if you're looking for a large variety of tropicals or more delicate indoor plants, you might not find much--though there is a separate indoor plant area that was closed off during our visit. You'll definitely notice the fertilizer smell when you walk in--not overwhelming, but something to be aware of if you're sensitive. Still, the overall atmosphere is relaxing and grounding. It's a really lovely spot to explore, especially if you enjoy gardening or just want a nature-filled reset. Heads-up for allergy sufferers: with all the plants, pollen, and earthy air, you may want to plan accordingly. We didn't directly interact with the staff, but they seemed friendly and helpful, assisting other guests as I walked by. Parking: There's plenty of side street parking available in the surrounding neighborhood, and a few spots right in front of the entrance. Hours: * Monday-Thursday: Closed * Friday: 11:00 AM - 6:00 PM * Saturday-Sunday: 11:00 AM - 5:00 PM
