Their inventory is dominated by your typical cultivars of philodendrons, anthuriums, pothos, etc. Most of these plants are widely available at garden centers and other plant stores. Even the carnivorous plants and staghorn fern they had are varieties I've commonly seen elsewhere. They also carry spray painted tillandsias, a practice I dislike because it obscures the plant's natural appearance and is something I generally associate with novelty retail rather than horticulture. I visited hoping to find some unique specimens, such as uncommon orchids, metallic leaved begonias, rocklike pseudolithos, or other harder to find collector plants. Casual indoor plant owners would probably find this store adequate, but I'd recommend those looking specifically for rare or unusual plants to skip this place. Update: Soon after writing this review I got a very emotionally charged message from the owner who mentioned that my review is a "public dig" and asked "Is it your goal to damage a women owned and run small business?". It leaves a bad taste in my mouth when I leave an honest respectful review (all I did was highlight who this store would be good for!) and I get a response like that. Especially ending in her saying "I hope you have a better day than I now will have". It's all very unprofessional.

Like many things in life, we thought we could buy bamboo online. What a mistake that would have…read morebeen. The nursery is truly fun to walk around to see all the different types of bamboo. The kids had a blast running through the bamboo forest and playing in the dock near the pond. We spoke to Trevor and told him what our yard was like and what type of bamboo we were looking for. What a treat to learn about the different shapes bamboo could take. Most importantly, the bamboo we wanted for one corner of our home receives a lot of sun, and we would have picked a bamboo that turns to yellow in bright sun, not the look we wanted. The icing on the cake, we were given a very helpful book on bamboo and learned a few tricks on how to cut our buckets in half to get more bamboo for the money. You won't be disappointed to visit here.

Background: About a year after Elliot had finished his excellent work on our front plantings in…read more2006, I'd asked him to do our back yard, but never heard back. I worried something had happened, and hoped he was okay, but found Alma Hecht (Second Nature Landscaping), who did a lovely job...although, sadly, she passed away some years later. Since then, we've done most of the gardening work ourselves. Update: Now we're seniors and can't do all of the gardening. In 2022, I learned that Elliot had opened a garden center next to Bay Natives. So in early 2023 he finally came back to give us an estimate on both front and back garden improvements. He spent plenty of time with us, especially in the back. About a month later, we got a $200 invoice for his time/consult re: plantings, irrigation, setting up work, etc., which we gladly paid. However, now it is May 6th, and have yet to receive any actual estimate. We would have totally understood if he'd just said, "Sorry, I can't take on your job, I'm too busy," up front. But instead we've been left hanging. Disappointed! Guess we'll move on to find someone else who wants to do the work.

Jeffrey at BiomeMechanics is nothing short of a magician. We had made the mistake of planting…read morebefore we truly eradicated a pervasive oxalis/clover infestation. Before working with Jeffrey, and shortly after spending a hefty price on several plants - the oxalis was relentless, taking over the totality of our yard. The weed barriers we installed before planting were no match at all. We hired Jeffrey to eradicate the oxalis and maintain the yard. Jeffrey carefully and lovingly moved each of our plants to temporary pots, dug up the clover and sheet mulched our entire yard. He also saved two trees that were suffering from mold from poor planting, and has performed other key rescue efforts that have preserved our plants. He is now doing a great job maintaining our yard with regular pruning, shaping, replanting, addressing trouble spots as they arise, recommending native sustainable plants and taking out the - very occasional - weed that still pops up! He was also instrumental in our water design. I could not recommend Jeffrey enough! Grab him if he's not too busy already!

I went in today while waiting for a table next door. I found a little modern ring that I liked, the…read moreprice tag attached to it said $16.00, I decide to purchase. The woman rings me up and says "it'll be $26.50", I say "I thought it was $16?" She says "no..." then looks at the price and says "oh". Long story short she did nothing except tell me she couldn't charge $16 for the ring and asked if I still wanted it. I said no. I don't think she was the owner as she said "I'll have to talk to her about it" assuming she meant talk to the owner about displaying pricing as one thing and trying to charge customers more. To the owner, this is illegal in California. https://codes.findlaw.com/ca/business-and-professions-code/bpc-sect-12024-2/ California Code, Business and Professions Code - BPC § 12024.2 (a) It is unlawful for any person, at the time of sale of a commodity, to do any of the following: (1) Charge an amount greater than the price, or to compute an amount greater than a true extension of a price per unit, that is then advertised, posted, marked, displayed, or quoted for that commodity. (2) Charge an amount greater than the lowest price posted on the commodity itself or on a shelf tag that corresponds to the commodity, notwithstanding any limitation of the time period for which the posted price is in effect. I was really annoyed that she chose not to honor the price displayed and was surprised she didn't even attempt to rectify the situation in anyway other than "oh well, do you still want it?"
