The staff is very helpful, the time and attention made my shopping a pleasant experience. I was pleased with the selection and in the future they will be my go to place for items that are associated to garden and nursery centers.

This negative review is about Dan.
Bought a tree last September, everything looked great until late Spring. Emailed Molly and she was helpful letting us know that our tree looked heat stressed, and we should water on a weekly schedule (not surprising with the drought). She also mentioned that if things hadn’t improved by September, to reach back out (there is a one year warranty on our tree from date of purchase). Called back early September since nothing had changed with how our tree looked despite plenty of watering (leaves always drooping and many dead branches that were once growing). Explained that I was still concerned, and looking for advice on how we can help our tree basically not die.
Spoke to Dan on that first phone call in September and he was very short, let me know to send pictures to Molly’s email again, and he would take a look himself. Never heard back. Sent a follow-up email. Still nothing. At this point we were approaching my warranty (surprise surprise), so I had to call again a week later and spoke to Dan once more. He was curt. Told me he thought Molly responded (passing off the blame). Very rudely, and with a laugh that let me know this wasn’t worth his time, he told me that our tree looked “perfectly fine”. With that he was ready to hang up. Our tree does not look perfectly fine, it continues to look heat stressed. Again, I’m no expert, but heck did he need to be so off-putting? Just a customer concerned that their tree may succumb, really not asking much here.
Dan is rude, demeaning, and offered no kind help. I’ll take his advice and just keep watering, but wouldn’t be surprised if the tree never makes a comeback and I’m out the money. This experience has felt nothing short of Dan pushing me away until the warranty is up.
Where could Oakland Nursery have improved here? Maybe something like “Sorry I didn’t get back to you, I have had an unusually busy week. I did take a look at your pictures and I actually think your tree looks really good compared to some others I’ve seen. Just keep doing what you’re doing and I think it’s going to be completely fine going forward. It’s a young tree, so this summer has been especially tough, but I still think you have nothing to worry about. No need to fertilize or anything, call us again in the Spring if it’s not recovering.”

The prices you're asking for are absolutely ridiculous considering the lack of integrity in putting these together. The white sand inhibits breathability, retains moisture. Hens and chicks, agave, echeveria, and haworthia all have specific needs and climate requirements. I pity the poor soul who puts that amount of money into something that will suffer under any circumstance. Please don't do this, it's bad business and as an enthusiast, very offensive.
There are cheap nursery pots here, in various sizes, but I can typically find them on Home Depot's discard rack.
For a gardener, there isn't anything here I can't find for free or at Strader's and Meijer for a much better price.
I used to enjoy shopping here. Unfortunately, not anymore. I will not be returning.

Global warming is happening. A average store can waste upwards of 4,200 kWh of electricity — releasing a whopping 2.2 tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere — simply by leaving the air conditioning on while windows and doors are open. Please be mindful, it just makes me cringe when I feel the heat and humidity swarming in with the air conditioner on non-stop.

Over priced and kitsch, but I like it, so three stars.
