    If you into gardening this is the place for you! Amazing selection of plants and so many succulents. Staff is helpful and knowledgeable

    Deborah H.

    Was in Berkeley and decided to stop by for the first time. Such a great place to get plants. So many beautiful plants to choose from. Huge variety of plants and other items for gardening. Great employees that are friendly and knowledgeable. Spoke with at least 5 employees all were very helpful. Had a great conversation with Toshi she is definitely an asset to this business. The prices are fair. We bought lots of plants and I can't wait to come back for more.

    Amazing service, fresh flowers, plants, cactus, soil, pots and more. Be sure to ask and you will get help but it's one of my favorite places on San Pablo in berk and also they are closed Sundays fyi.. really the best selection of non Heavy light required plants like my favs the pink panther. Get refreshed and check these guys out!

    Drove an hour to see this plant shop and it was worth it! Nice shop with a great variety of houseplants. I found my pilea there, they had a great selection of them! They also had super cute bonsai trees and succulents. Will definitely be coming back again to get my plant fix!

    It was lovely to visit East Bay Nursery. The place was well lit and well organized. Everything looked alive and lovely. I'm sure I stayed there longer than I needed because I felt so peaceful to do the surroundings. There was plenty of help around if it was ever needed. Their prices are decent and they had alot of great choices of plants and other yard things. I look forward to coming back.

It's a great spot if you're looking to grow your own food or just enjoy a calm walk through nature. There's a section for indoor houseplants, but it's a bit limited. Most of the options are Succulent plants and hardier varieties, so if you're looking for a large variety of tropicals or more delicate indoor plants, you might not find much--though there is a separate indoor plant area that was closed off during our visit. You'll definitely notice the fertilizer smell when you walk in--not overwhelming, but something to be aware of if you're sensitive. Still, the overall atmosphere is relaxing and grounding. It's a really lovely spot to explore, especially if you enjoy gardening or just want a nature-filled reset. Heads-up for allergy sufferers: with all the plants, pollen, and earthy air, you may want to plan accordingly. We didn't directly interact with the staff, but they seemed friendly and helpful, assisting other guests as I walked by. Parking: There's plenty of side street parking available in the surrounding neighborhood, and a few spots right in front of the entrance. Hours: * Monday-Thursday: Closed * Friday: 11:00 AM - 6:00 PM * Saturday-Sunday: 11:00 AM - 5:00 PM

    Urban Ore Place is a large salvage yard and reuse center that features house items: furniture,…read morehardware, tools, and building materials section outside that's been around 40+ years! I used to visit to find that hidden gem or get inspired to transform a piece of unwanted item into a functional item like a planter or garden art. This place is great for a DIYer or handy man as items have so much potential but can be a bit overwhelming if you're looking for something specific. My recent visit was to find a replacement window for a mini table-top greenhouse I put together about 15 years ago. Unfortunately, after a recent windstorm, 1 window broke and needed to be replaced. The original windows I bought were from a salvage/building resource spot in SF. At the time, buying 6 windows cost me $70 at most. Now (15 years later) for the same quality it will cost you $35-$60/window at Urban Ore. Ouch! I guess these windows may be used for a remodel of an older home. They do have another section for cheaper windows but sadly they look like the one I'm trying to replace...some wood rot, flimsy, peeling and weathered as they're not protected from the elements. Staff outside are friendly and helpful. Worth a stop to check out but some pricing on items a bit higher. Parking inside the gate and along the street.

    Let's get this straight - your store manager Claudio refused to allow me to help URBAN ORE from…read moreplacing items that could be reused in to the garbage - your other staff had looks of amazement on there faces when he said "no" - no wonder your store has the highest turnover over of staff I've ever witnessed. These item had been donated to you with the understanding that you would do your best to keep their processions out of the landfill - you failed miserably. I took my concerns to social media - mostly the huge "buy nothing groups" that operate in Berkeley. People were disgusted but not surprised by Claudio's behavior - we've all watched for decades how he sells the best tools to his friends in his tool corral. Many have also noticed his illegal use of THOUSANDS of white post office tubs - that alone shows us his (and by default) Urban Ore's ethics. One last thing - comments were ignored on your Facebook page - messages were ignored - I realize that someone at Urban Ore hopes this would just blow over - it hasn't and it won't - people are disappointed in Urban Ore's attitude. Personally, after having bought thousands of dollars worth of items from you over a twenty year period I would say this comes down to the bad attitude of your store manager - over the years I have met many of your staff members who obviously believed in "zero waste" - they have all quit but the guy in charge of the shop floor obviously thinks it's just a catchy slogan to get people to give you their stuff for free.
