So much variety in the plants and really helpful staff to help choose what to buy. They really support the native healthy garden, and have very knowledgeable staff.

Super healthy all native plants. All the plants I have bought here and taken home to my area ( outside of bay) are growing and flourishing . Just have to pick plants suites for your zone.

First time here. Easy to find and lots of parking. The selection is hit or miss, possibly since it is late in the season. No tags on plants, so that is a bummer. The cashier rang me up so quickly that I was late to ask about the 10% off for CNPS members. The cashier got a little snarky which was uncalled for. He said he would give me credit back in cash, but I guess I walked away too fast and didn't feel like going back.

Every plant I've bought here has struggled (compared to uc botanical garden nursery and Annie's annuals where things I've bought thrive) they sold me a "matilija poppy" but it was actually a prickly poppy- my rookie mistake that I figured out as it died. The employees were snobs and couldn't be bothered and were incredulous when I asked them a question. Maybe you have to be a specific demographic for them to help you. I do like that they support native plants. That about it.

The folks there were nice on our first visit. They seemed knowledgeable and were genuinely trying to help us find the right plants. Like another reviewer, after leaving, I noticed we were overcharged so be careful upon checking out. About a week or two later after taking home the plants and repotting per the instructions, the plants definitely had some issues. Tried calling back several times for advice and they just ignored. :( I do love that they sell native plants but really unfortunate as my experience with other nurseries is that the owners are responsive. This place could do better.

This is an awesome place to get native plants ! The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. I needed to purchase native plants for a school rewilding project. I had very specific requirements for the plants: They had to be good for pollinators, drought tolerant and non toxic. The staff guided me to make excellent selections. The prices are more than reasonable. I was able to buy far more plants than I expected to be able to. All of the plants I purchased were healthy and are now thriving in my school garden.

I wanted to like the nursery since I’m redoing my yard and would like to put in native plants. I came on a Sunday afternoon and was pretty much the only customer there but was not helped by any of the 3 staff onsite. Don’t expect much help you come here.

I LOVE this nursery for California native plants. It's easy to get to although parking can be hairy. The selection is lovely. The plants are very healthy and the prices cannot be beat. They stock varieties that are hard to find, and well-adapted to the East Bay. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and sweet. I've been shopping here for almost a decade and everything I've put into the ground has flourished just remember to do your homework and make sure you're planting the right one for the location you want ;) You can't blame others if you've made bad choices about plant location. I appreciate that they stock plenty of plants in 4" pots, because who has time to dig a gallon+ size hole!? You can go on their website to check out their current inventory. Very helpful for planning.

Lots of variety. Love that new species are there every time I visit. Not only is this good for our environment/us but they make it really affordable if you want to do habitat restoration in your yard. Lots of plants for $3-5

IMO this is the best native plant nursery in the Bay Area. What makes this nursery stick out is it provides updated inventory online almost every day, has the best prices I've seen, and has incredible selection. I've probably purchased more than 30 plants from this nursery and they have all been healthy and become well-established in my garden. This will continue to be my go to for all of my native plants!
