“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.”
“Absolutely blown away. I was running late for a dinner and called them in a panic. They graciously waited for me past their closing time, ensuring I could pick up my beautiful fall arrangement. The bouquet was vibrant, perfectly arranged with stunning autumn hues.”
“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…”

“Love the place,I usually go to the nursery elsewhere, but after working in the field, they got lots of variety to choose from, have 1 cu ft bags of all soils types”
“This is a destination garden center! You’ll find fun plants including palms and houseplants not to mention orchids and cactus all ready for adoption! Containers and seating are here for inspiration and there’s no better place for ideas to form!”
“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.”

“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 ?”

“This nursery was huge and the staff is FABULOUS
They were super helpful and knowledgeable
They even helped load the dirt into our car
Im so glad we venture a bit further than normally do to check this place out
Definitely will be back!”
“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.”

“I love this place! Ok, I love hardware stores. It's got just about everything you'll need (no it's NOT home despot, which has its place in the annuals of hardware stores.) They have a lovely garden section with great help, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable (Ask for Peter.) They always have great seasonal selections as well as vegetable starter plants. Plus they always have good holiday decorations and inspiration. Their crew is a bit eccentric, which I think is a plus!”
“Very vibrant and amazing nursery. Employees let you browse at ease. The owner Xander is very knowledgeable and passionate about her business. They also have a great selection of indoor plants. It’s a little bit of a hidden gem and you need to take your time to browse as there are all these different sections to be discovered. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.”
“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!”
“I’ve spent a small fortune over the years on plants from this nursery. They have all the common houseplants to the rarer collectibles and everything in between. Prices for most plants are competitive but the rarer ones are very pricey as to be expected. Friendly staff, big variety of plants, highly recommend.”
“10/4/2024: I'd been looking forward to visiting Succulence for months, ever since my plant collection exploded with a particular fondness for succulents. I happened to be in the Bernal Heights neighborhood, so decided to finally check them out. Unfortunately, when I arrived I discovered a karate school at the address listed for Succulence. A lady inside told me they had been closed since sometime in June.
The owners have responded to other comments, stating that despite the closure of their brick and mortar store you can still contact them regarding workshops and other events. Closing a business is incredibly difficult, and I'm glad to hear they're still up and running (even if it's at a reduced capacity). To those leaving negative reviews because they arrived to find the store closed: stop. For you it's a minor inconvenience, but for the owners it's so much more. That said, it would be helpful if they added a banner on the website's homepage letting customers know the physical store closed. I wish them the best with their future ventures, and hope I get the opportunity to visit another Succulence location someday.”
“Quite amazing! Great quality plants and friendly help and they are PACKED with options including unusual and hard to find plants! Really great selection of Bromeliads to bring that unique tropical look to your garden. Check them out! A little bit out of the way but so worth the trip!”

“I was recently at Sloat in Kentfield. It has a great selection of plants and pots and a knowledgeable staff. Today however what stood out is Skyler. I was standing outside my car because it wouldn’t start. I had called AAA to come and help me. At that moment Skyler, a Sloat employee, walked up and asked me if I was having car trouble. When I explained that the car wouldn’t start he offered to jump the battery. It worked! I was so impressed that I didn’t have to go into the store to ask for a jump, but he saw me standing in the parking lot and offered to help. Thank you Skyler for going out of your way to be helpful. I am very grateful for your assistance.”
“Sure to amaze! If you're heading for a hike on Mt Tam- spend a few moments in this place and fall in love with the splendid selection of ferns, flowers and ahrd to find plants. Really knowledgable staff!”
“This is your quintessential neighborhood hardware store! Jonathan, Charlie, Albert and company are extremely helpful with nearly every project we are tasked with completing. Thanks guys for the many years of your expertise, insight, humor and good ole fashion customer service!”
“I live in the neighborhood and love this store! Recently, I had an issue with my scooter. It was missing a vital part for carrying it. Gabe willingly helped me with the issue and came up with a quick and easy solution: a carabiner. Thank you so much, Gabe!”
“I have always received excellent customer service from Ace Hardware in Marin. Yesterday I was greeted with the comment, “May I help you?” And the service provided could not have been fully anticipated. John Troller went to the source; that is, the instruction manual of a new faucet available on the shelf. Three of us at home had worked on this faucet trying to fix it. John was able to fix it quickly, efficiently. I am very appreciative of his assistance. Now I do not have to call a plumber. The whole experience was actually enjoyable for me. Another fine Ace visit.”
“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!”

“The staff at Miller Sloat is downright amazing. I asked them to order a bunch of Venus Fly Traps for me (kids birthday party favors). They weren't my first call (but they will be from here on out), and a few other places I tried told me they were too hard to order in quantity. Sloat said no problem and ordered them the next day. The plants arrived a few weeks earlier than I needed. Instead of handing them off to me so I could do a bad job taking care of them at home, Steve (Sloat manager) offered to sell them in the store and reorder closer to my timeline. Throughout the entire process, the staff was incredibly communicative and generous. They wouldn't even take a deposit, but I am going to head down there today and insist they let me pay up front. I would give Sloat Miller 10 stars if I could.”

“Bay Natives is truly unique. An arty nursery where you can see alot of beautiful, native plants grown in a "funky as the old San Francisco" setting. There's places to sit, bring a thermos or a picnic and relax. You can bike there, take a Heron's Head hike, sit at the skate park by the creek on Illinois, visit Building Resources, hear live music at the New Farm which borders City Grazing. Goats, chickens, live music, two gorgeous nurseries, eggs for sale it's a chance to get off your screen and walk around a truly unique area of San Francisco. Worth every second and every dollar thank you!”
“Great customer service - I’d been eying an item for a while and when i finally went to buy it, it was out of stock. They took my name down and called me when it came back in.They have a great selection of books, gardening tools & kitchen items.”
“Fantastic place. I was very busy and stressed at work and forgot to order my dad a gift. I live in SF and he lives in NYC I went to countless websites until I found Plant Shed. The had the perfect combo of thing my dad loves: coffee and flowers!
I ordered at 11 pm and the the gift was hand delivered by 3 pm the next day.
I highly recommend Plant Shed!”
“Jodi makes stunning floral arrangements. I love her work. She's also very kind and generous with her time in talking with customers and showing them different options. The store is very cute with lots of beautiful and fun gift items. I highly recommend paying them a visit.”
