The whole place feels peaceful and inspiring, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The first time I visited, Natalie was incredibly friendly and helpful. She gave me her number and was so responsive whenever I had questions. When we went back, Tony was just as helpful in guiding us toward the right fountain. He took the time to turn different ones on for us so we could really picture them in our space, and he also showed us the color options, which made it much easier to decide. Natalie made the ordering process simple and stress-free. Our fountain was made to order in about 4-5 weeks, and Tony personally delivered and set it up for us. We're so happy with both the fountain and the service we received from start to finish. Highly recommend!

First, the map location for this is wrong, so do not follow the map. Dan's collection is in a…read moregreenhouse in the same group of greenhouses as Shelldance nursery in Pacifica. Go to Shelldance and you'll be only 10 meters away from Dan's greenhouse. I describe how to get to Shelldance in my review of them. Dan's collection is spectacular. I think much of the collection is not for sale, but like Nancy next door, if the plant is big enough he will sometimes sell cuttings from them. Squeezing through the narrow walkways overgrown with orchids and ferns felt like pushing through the forest at Monteverde. The benches themselves are covered with orchids and ferns. I don't mean in pots, but the wood frames of the benches have orchids growing on them. And under them. Everywhere. Someday I want a place like this. He has a lot of very unusual plants, and species Ive seen almost nowhere else. Dan is extremely nice and when I go, I spend a lot of time just talking about orchids with him and feel guilty for taking up so much time. But I think he's like I am with other animals like snakes and lizards, where Ill talk to people for hours about them, too. Its really impressive how much he knows about all his plants: not just the species or where they are native to, but who gave him that individual plant, how long ago, where they got it, etc. I guess I know these things about my plants too, but he has two or three orders of magnitude more plants than I do. Anyone with a real interest in orchids beyond what you see at Home Depot or Safeway should walk around here for a while.

I have been buying orchids from Dan for over 10 years. He has very reasonable prices and fabulous plants. He is very good at sharing growing information. If you just follow 3 or 4 requirements for each orchid, you will find you can keep them alive and get them to bloom each year. If you are looking for something special or unusual, this is the place to go. The owner, Dan Newman, is extremely knowledgeable and one of the kindest people I know. If you tell him about your growing conditions, he will recommend orchids that will do well in that situation. He has everything from reliable windowsill growers to fussy greenhouse rarities. Just because an orchid is reliable and easy to grow doesn't mean it won't be spectacular when in bloom! If you don't want to go to Pacifica, you can call and ask him which shows and sales he will have a booth at - he may be selling some place near you. He doesn't keep a list of his plants on his website. You just need to set up an appointment and go and see for yourself. He also does orchid boarding, so if you only want your orchids around when they are blooming, you can arrange that also.

A card was given to see their storefront in the Bay View. Since we finished 38Makers early, we decided to go. Thanks to Isaiah who was manning the store. He was so fun to talk to. He showed us the cool pieces that were being worked and talked about how the pots were made. The creativeness with the succulent was so fun to see. Had to go home with additional items. They have such an eye for the aesthetics of each piece. Can't wait to attend any holiday sales they may have.

One manager was extremely rude When we asked for some help and she said we could not get any help. Eventually she backed off and another person called Gabe at the reception helped us with a good attitude and we placed a large order. Today we returned as we wanted to place an order for some more plants. Although Gabe was present he was asked by the General Manager Chase not to help us. Then Chase was also extremely rude to us and refused to help us. He also asked us if our landscaper was even qualified! We said yes. When she arrived he continued to be rude and told her basically that she cannot continue to be their customer although she told him that under the previous management called Pacific nursery she has placed tens of thousands dollars of orders with them over the years. Also in the past they were very friendly and helpful to landscapers and their clients. It has been a very difficult and an extremely unpleasant experience for us all this morning. We would strongly recommend everyone not to deal with them as they have a bad attitude. I was telling my husband they have an appropriate name Devil which shows their attitude and nature!
