Situated in uptown Oakland, the vibes of the shop are excellent. The incense and light background sounds complement the minimalist shelves and relax you as you browse. The giant candle tower is impressive and still going strong since 2016.

This plant shop has been on my list for quite a while. I made it a point to go there today because…read moreI had some time on my hands and I have to say this place holds a special place in my heart. Before even walking in, you're greeted with just a beautiful mural on the outside of the building. Then when you walk in, you're greeted by this beautiful greenhouse and plants all around and then you go into the actual plant shop, and it just keeps on going in terms of places to sit, a cute little coffee bar, a very beautiful altar looking space in the back and a couple of little seating areas that are super Vibey and damn gorgeous and sexy. I'm IN LOVE with a plant shop. There isn't any space in this place where you just can't be in all of anything that your eye catches. Everything is intentional and my senses just soaked everything up that this plant shop had to offer. I already knew what planted I wanted to take home with me and I think it was meant to be because it was one of the first plants that I saw before going into the plant shop. It was almost as if I was meant to go here and pick her up and be her mom. While I was there, I also picked up some incense and linen spray because, why not? I ordered a cardamom matcha, which was recommended to me by Simone and I loved my drink. I took my time and drank it in the corner of the shop just soaking up the vibes and just being around it is gorgeous green beings that give off so much positive energy. I got there first thing in the morning when it opened at 10, super calm, and I was the only one in there looking and browsing. Service was excellent and vibes are 10/10. Returning? It's my number one plant shop now! BLK Girls Greenhosie, can I Iive there???

A botanical wonderland!…read more My friend taught me about this shop that we just HAD to pop in while I was visiting them in Oakland. This shop exceeded my expectations. From the entrance to the back door, the space has been meticulously curated to be welcoming, refreshing, and a place of peace & refuge. I love the variety of foliage available, and was impressed by the education that the staff offered on each of the plants available for sale. One of my favorite aspects of this shop is the partnership with local businesses, where makers can display and sell their wares in a "pass through" fashion, with all proceeds going to the small business owners. What an outstanding way to build community and to provide real estate for micro businesses. Kudos to the staff and the creative team behind Blk Girls Green House! Job well done!

She was kind to let me take a photo. She's holding her favorite plants, polka-dotted beauties that look surreal and painted.

I excitedly left with three heart plants, two variegated, which is a rare treat for Hoyas. The leaves are glossy and/or healthy on all of the unique plants here. Worth stopping by and seeing what's inside!

I was looking for a little gift for my friend who was getting married that weekend. It happened to be the day before Valentine's Day, so they were fully stocked with beautiful dried flower bouquets by Idlewild Floral.

If I wasn't traveling, I would have definitely gotten some goodies for myself, too!
