Nurseries & Gardening near Hercules, CA

“It's less hectic than some busier store most times. Well stocked. Most employees very helpful. great parking. Has a number of electic carts for disabled folks that can't walk so well. Bathrooms reasonably clean. All the reason I rated a 4 star.”

“We visited on 7/10/23, looking for a length of flexible spa hose to finish setting up a hot tub in our backyard. We had already gone to one Home Depot and had issues. We located the hose in question, but wanted to buy per-foot, rather than an entire roll of hose. This was something they had a SKU for, but they didn't have 8 feet of loose tubing for us. Eventually, we took the roll up to check out and explained the situation to Sylvia. Other places might insist that we buy the entire roll. Instead, she stuck with us, and found Jose, who could do the cutting we needed.Thank you to Sylvia and Jose for going above and beyond in order to make it work. It took a little while to get the right people, but they didn't abandon us, and they made sure to keep with it until we had resolution.”

“This is a very cute business that is located in Albany. I had walked by it several times and was in too much of a hurry to go inside. However, when I went in, the first thing I noticed was the rich green color of the plants. The shop was small, and it was filled with very happy looking plants. The sun shone into the small space and lit everything up.Then I met the wonderful people who work in this space. They were friendly and very kind. They made me feel like hanging out with them. Their dog just laid there while Dom told me their family story.They provide workshops that are open to the public, like how to take care of your plant babies and how to repot plants. You can also take classes to learn how to make art pieces with your plants. If you don’t have the time to repot—they can do it for you.If you don’t have a green thumb, you can even rent plants from them.I loved their warm and friendly vibe that they have created.”

“Having Delano provide Our Business with such fine materials and containers, gorgeous healthy blooming plants, cute, traditional basket gardens, trendy new 'Instagram' tropicals and lush full green plants keeps our customers happy and returning for more. Side by side, my customers will choose Delano plants over their competitors. Blooming plants are beautiful Now, today for the event I need them for...not waiting for them to be showy for later when the event is over. And then my customers tell me that their plant is still happy and thriving. Great Customer Service means I am having a pleasant intelligent knowledgeable staff member handle my needs, even when it's early morning. Thank you everyone at Delano, for being there when I need You! OH, and their office staff has made sure that my pre-ordered special requests are at the SF Flower Market, waiting for me. Thanks!”

“What a wonderful day spent picking organics from this little farm tucked away in the middle of the city. Sure I could have gone to a farmers market but it was way more fun going out with family for the day and harvesting our own fruits, vegetables and herbs in the sunshine. It's pretty simple, check their online calendar for available produce, pick up a basket and clippers when you get there and go for it! They even have honey and olive oil for tasting and purchase. They charge by the bushel and you can pay via Venmo. There's a beautiful Appalachian horse named Gentle Ben there who roams around. You can pet him, take a picture with him and feed him apples. This was a real treat for my granddaughter. We'll definitely be back for the various season's pickings.”

“I’ve been a fan of Annies Annuals for a long time, 1987. I’m a seasonal planter, and have all my favorites and then some!!! I drive from Roseville, there plants are always healthy. Staff very friendly and knowledgeable. I even see there plants at other nurseries when I travel, Carmel, Cambria, Walnut Creek etc. good job Annie’s my favorite grower of cottage plants.”

“This is one of the best plant stores I've ever been to. They don't just sell succulents! Also have plenty of unusual stuff like carnivores and different Tillandsias, and not just the typical species. They also have pretty pots and shells (including the large Turbos my hermit crab likes). The staff are very knowledgeable! Highly recommend visiting just to take a look at the cool, unusual plants they've gathered. Their plant prices are also reasonable. Got a Kniphofia (red hot poker, hard to find in this season) for $8.”

“Haven’t been this impressed with plant quality at a nursery in a while. The containers they use make a huge difference. I went yesterday (late December) and the plants were looking excellent. They also have a wide variety to choose from, including species specifically suited for restoration projects, which the nursery also offers as a service. The signs above each section are beautiful and give a lot of info about sun exposure and water requirements based on location, much more info than other nurseries. It’s way beyond the simple full sun/part shade/full shade categorization.”

“Made a last minute order, not expecting to receive my carving tools before a trip abroad. Lucky for me, my order was processed overnight and my package reached me in time to use it on my trip. Super professional, will definitely order more tools in the future.”

“A delightful plant shop. Their outdoor plants are healthy and good stock, although I find the space confusingly organized and hard to navigate. There's not a lot of signage and they move things around so you can't necessarily find things in the same place. (Some things are easy to find like veg and vines, but perennials tend to move around.) Their indoor plants are a mix. They are large, dramatic, and beautiful... but they often come home with scale or some other problem. Last time I was shopping I couldn't find a single indoor plant without a visible pest on it. So although they look good in the store, six months from now I'll probably have a sick plant.”

“My favorite everyday shop for buying plants. They have a wide selection and consistently healthy plants. I like how it's organized; I can find what I'm looking for without help. The only drawback is they often only have a few of each kind of plant when I need larger numbers (in which case need to order them).”

“Westbrae Nursery is a dream come true! I was immediately amazed by the diverse selection and top-notch quality of their plants, indoor and outdoor alike. But what really sets this nursery apart is the EXQUISITE customer service. The young woman working at the counter was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and attentive. My purchases have thrived, a testament to her amazing advice and feedback. I highly suggest consulting her as my garden has never looked better.”

“Very nice lady(Alex is her name) and very informative and knowledgeable about her plants.?She was stern about some of her rules of not walking past the beige trashcan but it is her house and her business so keep that in mind hahaShe has a very good variety of cool plants and very very good prices but also keep in mind her hours of operation.I got several cuttings from her larger mother plants of euphoria and some bridgesii and haworthia.She goes out of her way to make sure everything is properly labeled with the scientific name which was awesome.She was wearing a mask the entire time I was there and was overall a good experience to me.Not sure of the negative reviews but they mostly seemed around people expecting this to be a large nursery which it's not, it's her house which I personally find cool to see people like her running a small business from.Besides the street parking it's a cool stop that anyone who likes cacti and succulents should check out. ?”

“I like this nursery very much. It has a great selection of local CA native plants and knowledgeable people to help you. The location is also beautiful. Worth the ride!”

“Went there on a rainy windy night to pick up a bath tub half an hour before the store was closing. Super grateful for the security guard, Columbus, who went above and beyond his job duties to help us put the tub into the truck. He was so kind and thoughtful to tell me to stay under the covering so that I did not get wet in the rain. Nicest security I’ve ever encountered at Vallejo. Five star rating on his excellent customer service. ??”

“I will say that I can see how the Home Depot has changed, the majority of items are locked up. However, I do understand why; it’s due to the high amount of theft. But, I would like to say that I appreciate how friendly and how proactive an employee was during our visit. Denene provided us with AMAZING customer service! I appreciate how thorough she was explaining the process of changing out the cabinets and counter tops for our home. At this moment, my husband and I will be placing that project on hold, but I did want to recognize the amazing job she did, with being super patient with us and answering our questions. Thank you so much! ☺️”

“I believe her name was Nessa (she had a COACH patch near her name) at the customer service counter today January 15th around 1:45 was super pleasant and kind, she asked Adam to help me to my car, I had 8 huge bags of potting soil and my 4 year old with me. Adam was also super helpful and friendly, loaded the bags in the car for me. Thank you.”
