Stoked to have found East Bay Nursery. This place has a TON of varieties that are well kept and decent prices. I usually go to Orchard in Lafayette but this place has better prices which means I'll be returning! Btw, if they don't have what you want, they do special orders. read more

Wow this places is AMAZING! I love plants! I mean who doesn't!! There are so many plants here! The place is huge and literally goes on forever! I think they have literally every plant/bush/tree/herb/flower a person could grow in this climate! I mean there were like 5 types of Christmas trees available! When have you seen a Christmas tree at a nursery before?! I came here because I was in the neighborhood and is there really any other reason needed to buy new plants? No. No there is not. I wanted about 1-2 new succulents for my yard and left with 8! No self control I know! Believe it or not I did limit myself though. It was a struggle. There are COVID safety rules in place coupled with this location being mainly outdoors that make it safe to frequent. They limit the amount of people that can go in to the nursery so there may be a line to get in. Masks are required and only 2 people per row are allowed. Also they sanitize the carts after each use for you. read more

This place is a no-go. The customer service is terrible, and I'm sure many of these yelp reviews that are positively written are not genuine. Whenever certain customers walk in to the store, the staff are on high alert for no reason. I have been a customer there for 3 years and have never felt anything but austerity and hypervigilance as if I were going to steal something the moment I walked in. The final straw was with one of their staff, whom I presume to be a family member, immmediately mean-mugging me as soon as I walked in, and pushing a cart out of my hand as I was browsing a section. Then proceeding to follow me through the store. I had said 'hi' to at least settle his nerves and mine but he said nothing back and just glared at me while pushing the cart away from me. And then every where I went there was a worker glaring into my Berkeley graduate bag, even when I said hi, they would not respond, but glare and follow me around the store and laughed in my face when I made a complaint. I'll never shop there again. The products aren't even worth it. Overly priced for items that can be found for cheaper at friendlier nurseries like Flowerland. I am a master Gardener and teach workshops to students, and have never been met with comfort in this store, have been pushed to buy products I don't need, and was simply just not given a welcome feeling here. Even the customers look miserable. The quality of the plants isn't worth it either. Not for the price they push. Or customer service, high prices, and intimidating customers that have been coming here for years for no reason is bullying. I'm surprised this business still stays afloat. I see so many bad reviews on Google, seems I am not the only one treated poorly here. Looks like many other customers feel how cold the staff is, and the special treatment they give to other types of customer. If you are a knowledgeable gardener who actually cares about feelings, people, and the earth, then this shop is not it for you. This is not a well-run family business. They get by through overpricing items and being super surveilling, and discriminate against certain types of customers. Don't let the pride flags fool you--this is not a welcoming business. They never have what I actually need to buy there either. read more

It was my first time coming back here after a couple years, and my last visit I remember it being jam-packed of so many plants I'd never seen alongside very helpful staff. Luckily, the experience I had today was just as amazing as the last. I came in to purchase a houseplant as a gift and was totally clueless. Luckily, there was a helpful employee in the houseplant area who gave me tips on sunlight and water necessity on the plants I had chosen. With their help, I was able to narrow it down and pick this polka dot begonia. Compared to big chain hardware stores, the prices here do run a little steeper but I believe it's justified. The plants are in much better shape and the staff here is very knowledgeable. Also, there is quite a wide variety of plants here that you're sure to find something accommodating to your taste. read more

I don't even know where to begin with these people... Jose, Benny, Christian, and I won't be forgetting my guy, Conor anytime soon! These guys were clearly overwhelmed with the amount of business they had, but that didn't keep them from giving genuine personalized service. I won't be going anywhere else for all my plant needs! Top notch, you guys!! read more

I just moved into a new place and wanted to get some plants. Found this place on Yelp and decided to stop by on a Saturday. There is a free small parking lot outside their shop. I was lucky and got a spot after looping around back again. Otherwise there are close metered street parking available. There are carts available for when you shop that are located near their parking lot. This place has an outdoor as well as indoor section. I headed inside to see what kind of plants they had. I had just come from Home Depot and was able to check out their selection and found the prices here a lot steeper. For example, the snake plant at Home Depot was $19.00 but for the same size, it was about $62.00 at this place. While these plants were more expensive than big chain stores, they did have some things here that weren't carried at the Home Depot that I visited so I picked up a few things. My bill came out to over $75.00 and I'm so bummed that I forgot to use my 10 percent off yelp check in discount. Pros: -wide selection of plants -they sell pots -free parking lot Cons: -more expensive in comparison to Home Depot plants read more

Staff is wonderful and so helpful. Not cheap, but not uber expensive, this is more your traditional nursery vs Annie's which is more a perennial/California oriented one. I was on the search for a hydrangea and bougainvillea and score, plenty of varieties of both, along with an extensive array of grasses, trees, herbs and so on. Everything seemed healthy and again, questions? Their staff is super knowledgeable and very approachable. Need planters, potting soil, mulch and other accessories? They have an extensive array of all of the above. The space is large, and although maybe a little hard to be socially distant when busy since rows are narrow, they did have staff in the front limiting intake. Check-in on Yelp for 10% off $75 or more! read more

Limited Hours- The service and selection here are great but the hours of operation are regular business hours of 8-5. It's nearly impossible to get in any shopping in a convenient after work or Sunday setting. My only option is Saturday. It's discounting to have to shop elsewhere. read more

Wowza! Yes they are open during quarantine. I don't recommend going during lunch because the line wrapped around the block! The wait took about 20-30 minutes just to get in. Stock - People were here for gardening equipment, supplies, seeds, and etc. It seemed like they had a good variety of plants. In particular, I was blown away by their succulent and cactus area. Everything was very affordable; a variegated string of pearls was only $35 (I saw it $55 at other places). All of their succulents were blooming! I also got a combined planter and saucer for only $10. Customer Service - Great! Staff was very approachable (while six feet away) and answered questions. read more

I come here for almost all my plant needs & Al always happy with the staff knowledge and the variety of options, my family went to get our Christmas tree today and the staff was so quick & helpful- my tree was up in my car before we even got to the parking lot! The trees were all beautiful and this is going to be my go to Xmas trees now in addition to everything for my garden & yard! read more

Found some of the best succulents here! Tons of outdoor options. They've got indoor plants too, but couldn't find any that were that unique or rare. They've got all the indoor standards from fig trees to pothos galore. Parking is extremely limited. I've had to park on the nearby streets every time I've come by. Unless you can blatantly see an open spot in the lot, it'd be best to find a spot in the street. Will be back to fulfill the COVID-planting obsession! 4 stars. read more

If you want bang for your buck, this is the nursery for you. I went to 5 others and this place had the same plants anywhere from $5 - 10 cheaper. The exception was the "string of bananas", but for the same size pot there were way more strings and the plant was a lot healthier. Plus this place offers coupons, who doesn't love a deal?!? There is a huge selection of plants, though mostly common ones. And bonus, there is a parking lot though on the small side. If you are looking for unusual plants, go to Dry Garden or Westbrae nursery. read more

Friendly, helpful & knowledgeable! My landscaper had recommended this nursery and I arrived equipped with a long shopping list for plants and trees - ending up feeling overwhelmed. It was a weekend day and the place seemed busy so I had no hopes of getting any assistance and boy was I wrong! A super friendly staff member approached me and introduced himself as Christian, pro-actively offering help. We spent the next 30 min going through the long list for my garden overhaul and he proved patient, knowledgeable and picky when choosing which plants he would send me home with - perfect! It would have taken me hours to put it all together by myself and when items were sold out or not to my liking, he always had alternatives to offer. He even helped loading the truck! Thank you Christian for making my first visit a great one - I will be back! read more

I love love love this Nursery! I wish I had more time in town to visit again! This was one of the only plant nurseries that I have visited and that had fair prices and such a great variety of plants. If you love plant browsing, this is the place for you. Many indoor and outdoor plants as well as cacti and succulents! If I didn't have to fly back home, I would've taken this 8inch pot of Variegated String of Pearls! I mean look at its pink tint! Such a great price too. I'll be back next time I am in town! Thank you to the great staff who helped me navigate the nursery! read more

Called in and asked if they had a particular Japanese maple in stock and they did! In various sizes too. If you're looking for a specific or special one, this is the place to check out. I couldn't find it at our local nursery or the big box home improvement stores. They offer delivery as well, so ask if you're bringing home a big one. The staff was super helpful in finding our tree to loading it up in our car. I highly recommend this nursery as they have such a huge variety. read more

They have such a fun variety of outdoor plants. Even on a busy day they were super helpful and knowledgeable, spent time explaining the care of many options we were looking at. Prices were very reasonable. They helped us out to our car to load two huge wine barrel planters we purchased as well as drilling holes in them for drainage. The one downside is they didn't have a huge variety of indoor houseplants, it's more suited for outdoor gardens. Definitely will be back! read more

Good selection of what I needed. Great go to when I want to unwind and dream about one of my favorite hobbies!

I like the option of purchasing a gift card online instead of needing to go in or call. 5 stars when they offer an e-delivery option instead of mail. The recipient really appreciated the gift. Thanks! read more

My parents had some empty planters that they wanted filled, so I came to the east bay nursery on a weekday afternoon. This place had some of the best selections of plants I've seen. I've never seen so many succulents in stock before. Their prices were also super reasonable. Highly recommend, but plant lovers be warned- you will want to spend all your money here. read more

A wiiiiide variety of 2" succulents! I havent seen a nursery with this much variety. Im a houseplant and succulent mom so I cant comment on the other flowers, fruit trees/plants, and veggies sorry but this nursery is huge and there are a lot of em! house plant prices are a bit steep compared to other nurseries. The succulents tho...get them all! They also sell airplants and moss poles which I haven't seen sold at other nurseries before. Lots of pot choices as well. There is a small parking lot but also there is street parking avail. read more

This is one of my favorite nurseries in the East Bay. I can't pick a favorite because there are so many good ones, so I like rotating through the best ones, including East Bay Nursery. The staff are friendly and they have a great selection of shrubs, indoor plants, annuals, and fruit trees. I've been happy with my experience every time I go! Five stars for being an all-round delightful nursery. read more

Great selection of perennials but the annual vegetables are somewhat overpriced. The exact same plants (from the same nursery--literally the same plants) are over a dollar cheaper at Berkeley Bowl a few blocks away. read more

Great nursery. Bought 5 bushes with assistance from staff. Rose bushes already full bloom. Great selection.

After getting a new job I wanted to celebrate with buying myself some new plant babies! East Bay Nursery literally has so many options for plants. Whether you're a new plant parent or an experienced gardener there is a plant for you here. I've been here a few times and always go in knowing I'm going to buy at least one and end up leaving with 10! (Thank god they have a check in offer) You can even ask for help on what type of plants might be best for you, the staff is very knowledgeable and will recommend a good choice for you in your plant journey. Every time I need anything plant related I always come here. So glad I found you guys on Yelp! You have a customer for life. read more

I've been coming to this place for over 10 years and one of my favorite nurseries when trying to find different variety of plants, air plants and their succulent selection is awesome...about $3 for the small and $6 for the larger ones...they carry a lot of houseplants and tropicals to help you complete a tranquil space or backyard project. Prices on the higher end but this place is great when looking for a particular plant that those chain stores don't carry....when i come here i can never leave empty handed! read more

I visited this place twice since I was gifted 2 plants and at first I thought I liked it but now I'm second guessing it. Let me start off by saying my first experience here was good. I bought a pot, a tray & some soil. Okay that's fine, went to the register and paid with cash..no biggie. Today, the second time I went I wanted to buy another pot for my other plant (which I liked their selection) and perhaps a watering can. I arrived at the register to pay my total which is only 15.56 right, so I give her a 20 dollar bill & she say..We are only taking Credit cards/Debit Cards just so you know for next time. Um Excuse me!! How do you even know I own either one of those? Not everyone have a credit or debit card ma'am! That's so crazy to me! There will be no next time for me. Ohh and the website doesn't say that at all! So I guess people are suppose to just KNOW to bring a credit or debit card. Smh! I could understand a total of 50-$100 but 10-20? Whatever! read more

Came here for succulents & I was not disappointed at all. Super big selection of a wide variety of succulents & sizes. The succulents and cacti were in good health, which is not always the case when you go to nurseries because I've noticed succulents are usually in pretty bad shape at most nurseries I've been to. Reasonably priced as well which is a bonus. read more

The owner is so freaking rude and lack professionalism! Although some of people who works there are so friendly! I'm a brown person and when I asked me some questions he was giving me attitude and did not even want to answers my questions. He also said that they will not be able to help me with the information I needed regarding the plant I bought from this store. Their prices are exaggerated but I went their because I wanted to help local businesses after my interaction with the owner I can tell you this was my last time to go there! I can buy healthier plans online for fraction of their pricing! read more

This seriously has to be the most under the radar nursery in this part of the bay. I was told by a friend in a plant group (yes I'm in those, several) and decided to add this to my shopping spree of plants before fall hits. This was my last stop, had it been my first might have skipped a few others. I love this place even though parking sucks. They've got an AMAZING selection of succulents and cacti. So many I didn't recognize. Then you go inside and there was an even more amazing tropical plant selection. Everything was well laid out. The staff super friendly. I even heard several separate conversations with staff making recommendations to customers. I walked out with a lot of plants (if you saw me on Saturday I was the one with more plants than hands because I don't use carts, then I would buy even more!). Do I recommend here? Yes! For succulents cactus and tropical house plants. I don't really garden or have outdoor plants but the selection for them was also huge. read more
