It is high in price but these are super rare trees that need EXPENSIVE permits and the permitting process got lots worse and more limiting this year. The second wave of silver tips never came this year. I usually wait around on the sidelines to get them - these trees grow only at 6,000 feet and some years they get snowed in. Still, today if you want a 11+ foot tall tree that is silver tip - I think this is your only option. There is one more on Park St Alameda and another on Solano Ave in I think Albany - but they all have lower inventory of the tallest and nicest and most expensive. The best it just good enough for me when it comes to Christmas trees. This year it has become a careful chess game with the low inventory, the blizzard situations in the mountains and the new more limiting and expensive permitting process. Yes, I lurk around these tree farms and kick tires and take mental notes about what's going on. And I can guarantee if you have a hotel lobby or a beautiful home with vaulted ceilings and you want the tree to go all the way to the ceiling - this is your best bet.

They offer delivery service so you don't gave to put the tree on your car roof or wherever. Everything you need is there, and the process is quick. About the only thing I'd improve is the scheduling for delivery. We were promised 1-2:30 because we had some business meetings in the afternoon. After a couple calls the delivery folks showed up at 2:50 -- fortunately his meeting had ended and my 3 o'clock one hadn't started yet so we tag teamed and got the tree up in the living room okay.

Really frustrated about not being able to bring my entire family along. We are outside, pumpkins come from farms, and yet dogs are not allowed at all of the "best" pumpkin patches (service animal only limitations are extremely irritating). If you want snacks and rides then go to the "better" pumpkin patches. If you want to be able to bring your whole family (well-behaved pets welcome!) and support local business come here. I saw two young boys play fighting in the patch and nobody even blinked. Yet my dogs that are well trained and better behaved than a majority of adults I meet are not welcomed? A worker here gave my dog treats, and hid the treats so kids don't accidentally eat them. The people that work here care and they have my business going forward.

This location is one of the best gardening centers in the whole Bay Area. One of the things I appreciate about them is that they are extremely customer-service-oriented. If something you buy here fails, they will make it right for you. They are not the cheapest garden store to shop in, but everything they stock is top-quality and if it gets sick or dies, they stand behind their products. They also have the most attractive large planters, which is essential if you are in the city. I always have a great experience here. Their staff are super-knowledgeable and helpful but not judgmental at all. Highly recommended!!!

What really sets it apart is the staff. Every time I've gone in with a question, like repotting or why a leaf is doing something weird, someone actually takes the time to walk me through it instead of just pointing at a shelf. They even drilled a drainage hole in a ceramic pot I picked out, no extra charge, which saved me a trip to find a drill. Prices are reasonable for the quality, and a lot of what they carry is grown locally so it's held up well in my apartment despite my not so green thumb. It's become my go to stop whenever I need something for the house. Can't recommend it enough if you want an easy, no pressure nursery with people who actually know plants.

Just the calming response I needed. I won't detail all of the back and forth I subjected him to. I will just say he was extremely responsive and helpful and scheduled an appt for me that worked with my schedule. It turns out that I didn't need to use Marc's services - I was able to get in and replace the deadbolt without the need for a locksmith. HOWEVER - if I ever need the services of a locksmith, Marc with Cole Hardware will be my first call.... without hesitation.

Home and Garden: I can't think of another curio and natural wonder store that also has exotic plants and well designed pots and planters. I would come check out their plant section if you are into unique plants. Bugs and butterflies: I've always loved the look of preserved insects and bugs and they are nicely framed here. They also have classes you can sign up for to teach you how to spread and preserve moths and butterflies. Bones and Skulls: the kids loved seeing all the weird bones and skulls. They have carved cow skulls and exotic animals parts. All these kinds of stores always seem to have a raccoon penis for sale. It's fun and worth going to, a bit like a stop at a museum but you can buy the exhibits!
