“My all-time favorite plant store!! From the second you walk in you get the coziest vibe. The staff are all knowledgeable and so friendly and helpful and the selection of plants is amazing. Plus love all the Studio Ghibli merch. Oh and also love that it’s not just a shop but a community-oriented space too!”
“I ordered for a friend’s birthday today; I’m not local so I emailed and called a few times and asked for fall colors and gave some inspiration pictures. I am very happy and they turned out perfect. Would definitely order from them again!”
“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.”
“I stumbled upon this shop while walking around Albany and was immediately drawn in by the Tagalog sign out front. The owner, Dom, greeted us warmly and invited us inside—even though it was past closing—which already says so much about the spirit of this place.
The moment I stepped in, I felt a sense of connection and calm. The space feels like a sanctuary—thoughtfully arranged, full of warmth, and deeply welcoming—with traces of Dom’s anitos and pamilya. The plant selection is incredible, with rare varieties, pet-friendly sections, and beautifully curated displays. The repotting space shows a commitment and mindfulness towards the customer and living plant being. (I only wish I could bring some of them back to Tucson!) Dom’s bunnies were the sweetest surprise, too.
Most of all, Dom herself makes the shop what it is. Her kindness and heart are felt in every corner. This is more than a plant shop—it’s a space of care, community, and joy.
If you’re in Albany, don’t miss it. Truly a gem.”
“I love this place!! I visit my daughter 2-3 times a year and refresh her houseplants and terrariums. They have so much to choose from. The employees are very knowledgeable and helpful.”
“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.”
“I am a native San Franciscan who buy fresh plants for funerals instead of flowers here because the price is right & they are healthy beautiful selection. My big sister Jessie Lee always want to open a flower shop so since I was little this has been our go to spot in the city…excited about the new Flower Market on 90116th Street…”
“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.”
“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!”
“Paxton Gate is such an incredible and curious shop. I have so many items in my elementary classroom that I use to help teach kids about certain aspects of zoology, dinosaurs, and the natural world. They offer incredibly unique items that any curious patron, be they adult or guest, would love and be fascinated by. I tell everyone I know about this company and browse their site often looking for new and exciting things. They take so much care in their packaging that everything I have received arrive in perfect condition.”
“Came in for a kitchen knife, they were super helpful and showed me everything in my price range and explained pros/cons of each one. Definitely great customer service and will 100% be coming back”
“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 ?”
“We "toured" all the refill stores around the east bay, and this is the one we've settled on as our favorite. The owner is almost always there and she is very knowledgable and helpful about all the products she carries. I'm hesitant to spread the word about the bulk Seka olive oil she carries lest there's a run on it and she has trouble keeping it in stock, but this olive oil is GREAT and at $0.60/ounce is a great deal. (You can bring your own bottle, or she has both new bottles for sale AND used bottles that she has cleaned that you can have for free). Lots of cleaning products in bulk of course, along with all sorts of products for cleaning, cooking and personal hygiene. Sweet little shop worth visiting AND adjacent to so many great spots -- Cheeseboard, Masse's and Epicurious Garden among them!”
“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.”
“Best secret garden/shop in Richmond hands down! Community favorite, employee owned and they consistently provide high quality hard to find plants along with natives and traditional varieties for all needs. This location is a microcosm of plant diversity and a huge community building nexus in the Bay Area.”
“Really appreciate that they have the source county for many of their plants, it's rare to get that kind of information! So, you can get some hyper-local stuff! Helpful staff, good selection. Happy to have them around!”
“The best farm in the bay area. El Sobrante is a hidden gem over 4 acres of pure outdoors. Farmer Micheal is the best tour farm guide. We had a wonderful time outdoors. Apple picking, pluotts, chocolate mint and strawberry ? mint... The honey bees... ? Great spot for family outing or day date .”
“I made 3 keys at Home Depot, but don’t work. Cole hardware stuff found it issue, and made a key works.The original key is little bent , they can help made a copy key even the original is bent !”
“It’s such a vibe …perfect place for a mother to listen for my next plant babies to whisper to me?. Also everyone is very knowledgeable and attentive. The plants are priced reasonably and are quality plants”
“This is a terrific family owned nursery that has been in Orinda for many decades. The staff is always helpful and delightful to deal with and their rose classes are especially good.”
“What a GREAT place to find natives!
Staff is knowledgeable and helpful. The prices are very reasonable.
I have high hopes for this Howard McMinn Manzanita from Oaktown that I just put in.”
“Prices are absurd but they do have an incredible collection of cacti. If you are looking for a very specific type and don’t mind paying a high price tag for it, then this is the best place for you. Oh and the also have tortoises”
“The Best neighborhood nursery hands down. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They ask how's your garden coming along? And will help you transport items to your car. I been going for the last 5 years or so. You can get all your garden needs taken care of here.”
“super knowledgeable and friendly staff, and it's a worker owned co-op! the plants are very well taken care of. they also sometimes have pop up booths with interesting samples and tidbits.”
“Last week, I purchased a pizza slicer from another store, but it broke when I attempted to use it. I came to Laurel Ace to get a replacement because I know that its products are sturdy.
Marcos, the associate who assisted me, not only directed me to the proper aisle, but, to my surprise and gratification, TESTED the slicer to make sure that it would hold up! As if this wasn't enough, I also told me that I could bring it back if I had any problems.
I ALWAYS get great service at my neighborhood Ace, but young Marcos is among the BEST associates who I've ever been blessed to deal with. You can NEVER lose by going to Laurel Ace, particularly if he assists you.”
“I walked in with no clue what I wanted and Alana and the staff treated me with kindness and patience. The arrangement came out beautifully and I'm grateful for their help !”
“I had a wonderful time exploring this place that is packed with plants in every corner! It was great to take the time to see everything to my heart’s desire. Such a healing place, plants are wonderful energy. People were very helpful and courteous. There’s a sale going on as well (not sure how long it will last).”
“Wish I could give them 10 stars! And I wish I had known about them sooner instead of shopping at Home Depot for my landscaping supplies.I just discovered them from a recycling forum I am in. And although they don't sell recycled gravel - their prices and selection of the new gravel can't be beat. Plus they allow you to take a few samples for free so you can take home to see if the color and size works. This alone is better customer service that you can at Home Depot. But it gets ever better.Most of their staff is EXCEPTIONAL. I say most because there was a BIG difference in the staff at the counter in the morning versus the afternoon staff. Go in the afternoon and ask for Joe H or Feylin. Feylin was especially helpful because I was first time customer and was a bit overwhelmed initially and needed information to make my decision. Joe provided the back up when I came back later to place my order. The morning crew - maybe because it was 6:30am - was more like the staff at Home Depot.But what really motivated me to write this review was because of the service I received from Keith who packed 28 bags of gravel for me. First, Keith agreed to do it near the end of this shift after working a long day. He was so pleasant and nice while packing these heavy bags in my carTo see how hard he was working - and once again with such a wonderful attitude - is type of customer that is practically non existent at similar companies. I asked to speak to his manager, Lalo to tell him how impressed I was with KeithI was shocked that Keith and many of the other staff prefer to fill the bags of gravel by hand instead of using automated equipment. I hope Bee Green gives all the physical labor staff a gift certificate every month to get a full body massage!Loving the gravel I put in my driveway and outside my she shed.”

“Even if you're not planning to buy any plants or soil products, you should check out Berkeley Horticultural Nursery anyways.
Huge offerings of pretty much every type of plant out there, including a massive succulent and cactus section.
About 30+ types of maple trees, endless varietals of fruits and vegetables, decorative aquatic plants, ground cover, you name it.
Prices are not super cheap, but they're also not outrageous, and some stuff is rather competitive.
Don't forget to check out all the carnivorous plants!”

“Wonderful selection of quality plants with excellent service from friendly and knowledgeable experts. Flowerland offers a concierge experience with professionals who know their stuff and are willing to consult and offer valuable tips. Big box stores cannot match this, assuming you can even find someone willing to help. And if you do, they don’t know their perennials from the their anals ?. Flowerland prices are competitive and the atmosphere is unrivaled. Special shout to Maureen and Olivia who truly cared about our needs. As a result we left with $800 worth of plants and will be purchasing an orange tree next. As added bonus, High Wire offers excellent coffee, beans and pastries on-site in a zen garden setting. This is a special destination which deserves a visit and your business. Don’t forget to peruse the gift shop!”
