So happy with Damanakis Nursey!!! A month ago I drove miles and miles to the fancy native plant…read morestores in Tilden Park and Berkeley...all in search of the most common local native plant we have--some coyote brush. Nobody had any. But I had a nice tour of the bay area hills on a gorgeous winter day. Kept searching nurseries, until today, when driving between Castro Valley and San Ramon on Crow Canyon Road--there it was--a nursery with signs saying "open" "9-6" "sale" and the gates were wide open so it looked welcoming. A woman working on a huge pile of soil offered to help. And surprise of surprises, she had coyote brush! A whole bunch of it so i bought four! I had to resist buying more plants, a pomegranate tree, some flowers... but I'm sure I'll be back!

I agree it's a bit difficult that there are no prices listed... not until checking out. Also, when I tried checking out, found out it had to be oked through my gardener.

Their customer service is amazing AND they have a great selection of garden accessories. Highly recommend

Unfortunately they were out when I checked this week.

This review has been a long time coming!…read more So incredibly stoked on my pixie cut! Randomly saw a girl in a Safeway parking lot with the cutest pixie cut ever-- I had one already, but it had been growing out. I have, I repeat, I have never approached a stranger on where they've gotten their haircut before but I had such a visceral reaction to how well done her hair was-- that I had to ask her. She told me she'd gotten it done at Fringe and Fern Collective, a salon I hadn't heard of until right that moment, I was beyond thrilled. I called Fringe and Fern immediately and asked after the person who had just done a pixie cut that afternoon and BOOM-- made an appointment with Kyle for the following week! I've kept my hair short now for the past couple of years due to thinning hair especially on the sides. Most hair stylists I've been to have either cut my hair way too short on the sides which always ends up showing too much of my scalp and how painfully thin it is or kept it much longer than I prefer. Kyle will take his time figuring out exactly what I want and manages to keep my hair looking fuller on the sides while achieving the shortness I wanted all around. A hair stylist with that kind of attention to detail has been so hard to find. My hair always grows out really nice in between haircuts as well, which is great. I tend to go 4-6 weeks between cuts. I'm also super awkward at small talk, but Kyle has a way to make you feel at ease which is so important when you're in introvert. lol Fringe and Fern Collective is located on South Main and Newell Ave, next to George's Giant Hamburger and Pacific Bay Coffee and right across from Kaiser. Parking can be a little tricky as the shopping center is in a narrow corner lot, so recommend leaving a few minutes earlier before your appt to snag a parking spot. Anyhow, if you're looking for the perfect pixie cut, look no further, Kyle is the way to go!
