This is a great place that I often go to for plant gifts. I would rate it 5 stars except that sometimes they are closed for lunch when I go which does not show up in Google hours so I’ve had to wait for them to get back from lunch.

Nice idea, always closed. The website says 10 to 5:00 Wednesday through Sunday but now they've changed it from 8:00 to 4:00 cuz the daylight savings time. I came by the other day during the 10:00 to 5:00 window they were closed cuz the one person working was having their lunch

Lovely selection, especially of native plants. Prices are reasonable. Staff are knowledgable and don't seem to mind taking the time to answer your questions (which is great). And, they have resident chickens and cats! Adorable
Ploughshares Nursery sells native, edible and drought tolerant plants to generate revenue for Alameda Point Collaborative’s supportive housing programs. Ploughshares offers employment opportunities through a job training program assisting formerly homeless residents of Alameda Point Collaborative to enter the workforce. We have a demonstration garden at the nursery and we offer free workshops on gardening and subjects related to our social enterprise mission.
