Is there such a thing as a special occasion nursery? Maybe a garden temple or a garden of worship?…read moreYes? Okay good. Then this is my special occasion garden of worship temple to plants nursery. It's where I go to celebrate major life events ...with plants and garden furniture purchases. I still also go to sit in the garden if I need a quiet place to think. There isn't a Ritual Coffee there anymore, but they don't seem to mind if you a being a drink (All Good is around the corner.) As I age, and my janked up knee worsens, and the City puts up barriers for people with mobility issues, I can't always get to my preferred thinking spots in the City's lovely parks. This is a very good substitute with easy parking. We had our wedding reception in Golden Gate Park when we were young and broke. If you have money you could have it here as they rent it out for just such occasions. It would be a lovely venue.

We had such a great experience with A. Silvestri Company. We were looking for a fountain for our…read morebackyard, and they had so many beautiful options to choose from. The whole place feels peaceful and inspiring, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The first time I visited, Natalie was incredibly friendly and helpful. She gave me her number and was so responsive whenever I had questions. When we went back, Tony was just as helpful in guiding us toward the right fountain. He took the time to turn different ones on for us so we could really picture them in our space, and he also showed us the color options, which made it much easier to decide. Natalie made the ordering process simple and stress-free. Our fountain was made to order in about 4-5 weeks, and Tony personally delivered and set it up for us. We're so happy with both the fountain and the service we received from start to finish. Highly recommend!

I needed some houseplants for my husband's birthday scavenger hunt and I made the purchase online. It was my own mistake that I didn't check when the plants are being shipped. I reached out to them via Instagram and almost instantly gotten reply. They were very accommodating and offered to send the plants to me via Uber. All 3 plants purchased were delivered promptly and in great shape. Like OMG they are so so so cute and adorable, I am obsessed. Definitely would love to visit in person soon and highly recommend anyone who needed some houseplants to check them out.

Learned this store has been open for 5 years and I'm just so impressed that a store like this exists on Ocean Ave. I grew up nearby and they didn't have these kind of stores 20 years ago (oof I dated myself!). I love her selection and all the cute accessories. I had to hold back from buying more than one plant- Lord knows I collected plenty of plants in my day, so I definitely need to refine my collection, instead of collecting. Came out with a white princess philodendron and can't wait to put her in a pretty pot!

It's on 24th street across from the Noe Valley town square, next to the J line. The owner, Santiago, who studied interior design, provides many unique and beautiful planters and plants that you won't usually see at other plant shops. Planters are priced fair for being quality, unique pieces on their own. Many are designed and painted by artists. Other things they sell include lighting, ceramics, candles, blankets, and plant care. It's always a pleasure to browse their rotating selection! The staff are awesome (shout out to Jonathan and Madeline!). They're super nice and helpful in finding the perfect plants and planters in a range of sizes to fit your space and needs, and how to take care of them. Just ask!

I love the wood tables and the steps that lead you to a private room upstairs. The space is amazing and attendees loved it. They have a photo booth too. Staff are wonderful! Thank you, Naz and Ife! Amazing bartenders. They were so friendly, attentive, and personable. Many attendees said they came to the event particularly because they love Arcana. It's conveniently located near BART and multiple bus lines and some Lyft bike docks. I cannot recommend Arcana enough! It's great for date night, girls' night, corporate meetups, and more. It's welcoming and inclusive and the food and drinks are delicious and strong. Will be back!

Charging the $10 event fee on discretion before the posted event start time seems... shady? illegal? My two friends got in a few minutes before with no cover. I was dealing with a bike lock while they went in. We were not there for the event but rather as volunteers from the weekly cleanup refuse crew in the Mission. You get perks as a thank-you for doing your part in making the City a cleaner place. We had just had a lovely time at another participating business (Beehive) and planned on Arcana being our final stop. Thankfully I was able to use the restroom without a fee, with my gear held up outside by the security team. While waiting in the restroom line, I told a staff member about all this, and the worker seemingly went up to the front to find out what's going on. The line took a few minutes, my friends also bumped into me, and I told them I'd likely wait for them outside the business post-restroom while they finished their wine. Already reported to the Mayor's Office. Maybe I'll add BBB. Should be honest and equitable! Four out of 200+ reviews by me have been one star, so I rarely share negativity. It's all rather unfortunate as other visits here went off without an issue. I warned a group of four about all this while I waited out front, and after talking to the front door folks, they left and thanked me for the advice. Please be careful if you visit here. . . .
