“Really good place ! The owner is a real passionate about his domain. He would love to help and recommend you.
I love that place, and I’ll come back.”
“All the taxidermy and bones freaked me out a little bit but lots of great merchandise and helpful staff. Great if you're into to this sort of niche interest.”
“The best!!! Flora Grubb is our favorite nursery not only because of the many great and rare plants they carry, but because it’s a beautiful place to spend time just browsing.”
“I've come to this store multiple times and I always had a great experience. It's even better if you need help finding the right tools or materials for a project because you'll always find someone ready to help.”
“Great place to pick up Benjamin Moore paints. I order online and pick it up to avoid wait times (which aren’t that long but I always end up leaving with things I didn’t intend on buying ?). Great customer service and they do occasional sales! Grateful this is my neighborhood hardware store.”

“Love the place,I usually go to the nursery elsewhere, but after working in the field, they got lots of variety to choose from, have 1 cu ft bags of all soils types”
“Beautiful space with lots of plants I've never seen before. Some incredible large hanging plants wow. Walked around and the staff never approached me. Didn't buy anything.”
“Excellent selection of plants, pots and soils. Mike was very helpful he helped us with half bags of soil as we couldn’t fit full bags on the bikes. Would definitely recommend!”
“If you’re looking for amazing plants, beautiful bonsais, and a place where you can actually ask questions, especially if you’re just starting your plant parent journe. I can’t recommend this spot enough! The staff is always incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely happy to help.
My sisters and I come here all the time, and it’s our go-to place for both home and office plants. We’ve never left disappointed. The best part is that after picking out your new little green friend, you can walk around Japantown, try some great Japanese food, and explore so much more. It’s always a great experience all around ?”
“Absolutely adore this shop! Fantastic service, beautiful, healthy plants. Purchased soil and it is so dark and smells like earth should!I especially love that pet friendly plants are marked (with adorable paw prints) as both my cat and dog like to graze if they somehow manage to get up to the plants.”
“It was absolutely worth discovering this place—they have a beautiful variety of flowers to choose from. The shop has such a great vibe, and everything smells amazing.
My lady loved the bouquet, and the customer service was excellent—friendly, helpful, and welcoming. We will definitely be going back again.
Highly recommend ??”
“I’ve spent a small fortune over the years on plants from this nursery. They have all the common houseplants to the rarer collectibles and everything in between. Prices for most plants are competitive but the rarer ones are very pricey as to be expected. Friendly staff, big variety of plants, highly recommend.”
“Quite amazing! Great quality plants and friendly help and they are PACKED with options including unusual and hard to find plants! Really great selection of Bromeliads to bring that unique tropical look to your garden. Check them out! A little bit out of the way but so worth the trip!”
“10/4/2024: I'd been looking forward to visiting Succulence for months, ever since my plant collection exploded with a particular fondness for succulents. I happened to be in the Bernal Heights neighborhood, so decided to finally check them out. Unfortunately, when I arrived I discovered a karate school at the address listed for Succulence. A lady inside told me they had been closed since sometime in June.
The owners have responded to other comments, stating that despite the closure of their brick and mortar store you can still contact them regarding workshops and other events. Closing a business is incredibly difficult, and I'm glad to hear they're still up and running (even if it's at a reduced capacity). To those leaving negative reviews because they arrived to find the store closed: stop. For you it's a minor inconvenience, but for the owners it's so much more. That said, it would be helpful if they added a banner on the website's homepage letting customers know the physical store closed. I wish them the best with their future ventures, and hope I get the opportunity to visit another Succulence location someday.”
“I recently purchased a fountain from Giannini Garden. I went 2-3 times before making my selection because they had so many fountains on site to look at. Each time I was given a personal tour by a knowledgeable employee. They always took their time to explain various options, build quality, price, maintenance and so on. It made the decision really easy once I found the perfect fountain. They built and painted a new one to my liking and had it delivered the same week for a minimal charge. It’s been running nonstop for over a month no. No issues. I would recommend this local company to anyone the Bay Area wanting authentic Italian fountains at a reasonable price, sold by very attentive staff. Thanks!”
“I live in the neighborhood and love this store! Recently, I had an issue with my scooter. It was missing a vital part for carrying it. Gabe willingly helped me with the issue and came up with a quick and easy solution: a carabiner. Thank you so much, Gabe!”
“I driven past Silvestri for 60 years and finally stopped in to make a purchase. I was shocked at all the beautiful items in stock right on floor. If your looking for statuary, pots, tables, fountains, just about anything to beautify you house or yard this should be your 1st stop. This is a great place!”
“Great customer service - I’d been eying an item for a while and when i finally went to buy it, it was out of stock. They took my name down and called me when it came back in.They have a great selection of books, gardening tools & kitchen items.”
“One if the few times I've used their tool rental service. Very efficient staff, Ching was working the desk with another gentleman. I had a choice of clearing a drain myself, I needed a electric snake, or calling a plumber. The choice was clear after calling a few plumbers, when they required a diagnostic fee before proceeding, I already knew the issue, a clogged or obstructed sewer drain. By the time a plumber was called, I had already went to home depot, rented the snake and probably cleared the obstruction in the waste pipe. The choice was clear so I didn't bother to contract with any plumber.If you are in need of tools, home depot may be your source providing you have the ability to use them and the knowledge, but really it may take a little longer but the results are the same.I would use home depot again if it arises that I don't have the tools to complete a job”
“This place is awesome - needed to buy 6 olive and cherry trees - I’m used to having to drive for a couple hours out of town to get to the farms with a decent selection but they’ve really expanded this location - there were more than 50 olive trees from small to very large to choose from and about 20 cherry trees. The oak trees and Japanese maples looked great and they had a ton of smaller plants (like thousands of them). It’s a place where retail nurseries buy from. Feet a gardener who can buy there - you can’t just walk in - it’s wholesale - but the depth of choice and quality at reasonable prices is absolutely awesome - totally unexpected”
“If you look for plumbing items, I strongly recommend you find name Jo jo on his uniform, I have never seen any employee in Home Depot like him so warmth, professional, and helpful. He resolved my shower room problem perfectly yesterday . I can believe I can still meet such helpful worker in Home Depot, I always feel headache at Home Depot every time if I need help, most of them either so busy or casual, some of them not so acknowledge. I hope every employee in Home Depot learning from Jo Jo, thank you.”
“I experienced excellent customer service from the staff here, all willing to find answers to my questions. Also, grateful to Mariana who directed me to apply for the Home Depot credit card! Thank you!”
“Excellent as always, the ones from Mexico with more staff and more variety. The variety of this branch is superior in the quality of integral kitchens. In Mexico the kitchens are very basic and tend to be run-of-the-mill”
