The Gardener is a unique, beautifully curated shop in Berkeley's 4th Street shopping district. It is an experience, a gem where one can feel at peace. The store is thoughtfully stocked with original, high quality items you won't find everywhere, including house-wares, jewelry, gardening items, soaps, lotions, and one-of-a-kind artwork. Each piece is carefully selected and thoughtfully designed by the artists. While some items are a bit on the pricier side and are considered fancy, the shop offers a wide range of price points. It is a special spot for a special gift, to furnish a home, or to seek inspiration. Many have cherished it for years, finding it worth the drive and the moderately challenging parking. It is a place with good vibes that makes for a wonderful visit, especially when combined with a bite to eat nearby.
Service is always excellent, staff are helpful and kind!

My wife and I have been coming by since the '80s. We never lived locally, but between the Gardener and Ocean View Dinner many of our let's get away days were made, Heck our kids grew up coming here and still do. We miss the spot that used to be out in the country dearly.
