Such a wonderfully thought-out nursery and they have a great variety of plants, flowers & herbs. We came home with marigolds, a rosemary, parsley and chives.

Also noticed they have a coffee spot by the entrance, excited to give it a try next time we visit.

I will rated this place with 3 stars, because I saved lots of money buying the Dahlias bulbs from them.

I've called them before to inquire about native milkweed for monarch caterpillars and their staff took the time to explain how much milkweed I'd likely need, the timing/lifecycle of monarch caterpillars, etc; they were super informative and helpful. I also really love supporting an employee-owned co-op.

I had my eye on a few succulents and more air plants! Hope to come back soon!

They also went out into the garden to doublecheck that they had one in stock and they did and they held it for me at the front desk. While I was there, I was admiring all of the exotic plants, flowers, herbs, and trees and all the gardening accessories you may ever need. I loved seeing all their seasonal Halloween theme planters and little decorations that you can put throughout your garden to make your garden festive for Halloween. They even had small Christmas trees in stock. This is a lovely nursery with lots of beautiful plants and accessories and great employees that are roaming around ready to help you at any time. They also have their own dedicated parking lot and lots of street parking. Next time you're in Berkeley or if you need to get an exotic plant, I highly recommend visiting East Bay Nursery.

I first found out about Pamana Plantas on social media a few years ago and loved the visual vibe of…read morethe store and wanted to support local, Filipino business owners. The plants there are beautiful, and the owner (Dom) has the friendliest dog and bunny to keep you company during your shopping trip. I've bought a few plants from there over the years, and she usually gives a few tips for your plant before you leave (or a warning if they're more temperamental). Last year, we were going to try to bulk order plants from Pamana Plantas for our wedding, but to our surprise found out that they provide event services! We were able to work with Dom to design centerpieces and an altar for our wedding. We had given her really vague guidelines to what we wanted and some of our color schemes, and she was able to create a mood board and help us pin down our vision. She was so easy to work with and helped us stay in budget by offering multiple solutions at different price points between purchasing and renting. Super recommend working with them if you're looking for more sustainable wedding flower alternatives.

Every person I've encountered has been such a gem; they're kind and down to earth. Some of the plants are a bit on the pricey side, but they are all beautiful and well cared for, and you're supporting a small business, so it's worth it. On my last trip, I scored a beautiful Hoya Kerrii for $13.50. It was such a fantastic deal considering how many leaves it has! I also love that they have tiny plants in tiny pots, which makes you feel like you're growing something from scratch, plus they're super cute! I'm not in the East Bay often but will make sure I stop here, next time I'm in the area. Highly recommend!

Their new store is also fantastic--much bigger with a bright, airy feel. Will continue coming back :)

I was reading about pocket forests for biodiversity and thinking about how planting more natives around weed-laden yard would be beneficial, and also cooling in this concrete jungle which is an urban heat center. If you could do something about it with native plants that support pollinators and more, why not? Whether you have pots/containers, your apartment's shared space, a community garden, your/neighbor's yard - or volunteer to adopt a traffic circle in Berkeley and plant natives in there. You can't go wrong browsing the Oaktown Native Plant Nursery website, reading up on the plants, buying plants online, then picking them up at the Oaktown Native Plant Nursery - and also getting Vik's Chaat for lunch while you're in the area.
