The salesperson when we visited yesterday was super friendly and informative. The store is always warm and inviting. Prices seem on point with other similar stores in Oakland.

I asked for advice from Greg today and was very taken aback. It was my first time visiting Encinal…read moreNursery. Greg was extremely condescending and dismissive. I approached him and said, "I don't know much about gardening and I have a feeling you do! So I'm wondering if you could help me. I have hydrophobic soil, and my lawn is patchy." He said, "Well you shouldda used compost." I said, "Let's try again, and not start with 'you shouldda.'" I smiled and continued, "We had the seed put in in October, and they used compost. We will be reseeding and re-composting in the fall..." He interrupted and said, "Well I have some advice if you would LISTEN." I said, "I'm listening." He said, "I have some fertilizer with soil conditioner." I said, "Well, I used soil conditioner yesterday." I never raised my voice or took an attitude with him. I just said, "You have expertise, right? And I respect your expertise. Well, I also have expertise, in another field, and when people come to me for advice, I don't speak to them this way. So I'm going to leave now. Have a nice day." My grown son was with me. I asked him, "Am I crazy or was that man very rude?" My son said he couldn't believe the way Greg spoke to me. I looked him up afterward to be sure I wasn't naming the wrong person. It was the owner, Greg Dupuich. I will not be returning to this nursery, and I would not recommend going there as a woman. I have a feeling he would not have spoken to a man this way. Greg did not bother to take the time to understand my problem or ask basic diagnostic questions. When I got home I looked up some examples of questions a helpful specialist could have asked: -What is your soil type? -How deep down is the soil dry? -How old is the lawn? -Have you added any bark, mulch, or compost recently? -Have you tried using a liquid wetting agent or aerator yet? -Are you looking to buy a tool to fix this, or a chemical/soil product? Those are the kinds of questions a skilled, knowledgeable person would ask, and I would have appreciated it if he had taken the time. Beautiful nursery, but I will take my business elsewhere.

I wasn't sure I really wanted or cared for a bouquet. I'm not a flower person, but everyone said to get them. I quickly went online for some inspiration and found a few designs/color schemes that I liked. I showed the pictures to Kat, and I am just awed at how absolutely gorgeous my bouquet turned out for the wedding. She went to the flower shop for the freshest and most beautiful flowers at dusk, and THEY WERE ALL SO BEAUTIFUL! Did I need the bouquet? No, but the bouquet elevated the look I had for that day. I could not imagine my special day without them. I'm so glad and grateful for Kat's creativity and blowing my expectations out of the water completely! If you are looking for anything for your wedding, plants, a moss wall, a bouquet, center pieces, KAT'S GOT YOU COVERED! She will not disappoint. I promise you that.

Having recently opened at the beginning of April, it seems that not many people are aware of its location in southwest location. But it certainly is a hidden gem that is worth a visit or three! I popped into the store with my girlfriend (who'd been itching to visit it for some time now), and we were pleased to see a large array of plants neatly organized all along the walls of the store (including carnivorous plants!). Complementing the plants were plant-related apparel, artwork, and jewelry. Some body-care products (soap bars, lip balm, lotions and scrubs) and candles rounded out the selection. Overall, it's a really hip and trendy store with a good amount of things to check out! I also had the pleasure of speaking with Kat and Joe, who I believe are the storeowners. They're extremely welcoming and friendly, and we chatted for a bit on their store-opening (apparently, the store before them was a car-wash operation!). Kat let me know that there's an ongoing 25% sale on most of the plants in the shop till the end of April, so definitely come visit the store if you're interested in buying. I bought the following items: 1. Maranta Red - 6" ($18, discounted from $36 due to broken pot) 2. Pilea Moon Valley - 2" ($9.60, discounted from $12) 3. Fragranced Soap "Jade" by Ananda Body Care ($11). The plants in the store all look like they're in terrific condition so I definitely think that I'm getting great value here. All in all, I like what I'm seeing and I can't wait to come back again to continue supporting this BIPOC-owned store. Hoping to get a sundew when those are back in stock.
