What a gem of a store. I always love stopping in here, but it wasn't until today that I learned two things 1. the store donates a portion of their proceeds to Crisis Support Services of Alameda County and 2. They offer an in-shop 10% discount on plants for teachers, mental health specialists, and social workers! Absolutely Amazing! The store itself is a delight with fun plants including Hoyas (my fave). they also have great gift items including a nice collection of Studio Ghibli items as well as lovely plantable cards and other plant related gifts. The salesperson when we visited yesterday was super friendly and informative. The store is always warm and inviting. Prices seem on point with other similar stores in Oakland. However, have cuttings you can buy at an excellent price. Thanks for being awesome Planterday! read more

Who would think a small space like this would make such a huge positive impact on your day? Planterday is my favorite store that I can spend all day. Everything is beautiful here, and they got the coolest studio ghibli items. The love and care that the owners and staff can be felt when you walk around the store. The owners fly back and forth to Japan bringing back all of these delicate items. read more

Really enjoyed visiting this shop. It's bright, cozy, and filled with beautiful plants and simple pots that I actually wanted to take home. A special thank you to Matt, who was so patient with my 3-year-old daughter. She let go of her balloon three different times and it ended up near the ceiling each time. Matt helped us get it down every single time. There are also lots of interesting things to look at besides plants--Ghibli items, self-care products, and other little treasures. A lovely neighborhood shop that we'll definitely visit again. read more

Lovely selection of green guys, plus they have carnivorous varietals! Standard pricing and some little plantings that are such a great deal. Excellent service at this shop and 10% off for educators, social service and mental health providers. Will be my go-to small shop when I need some plant therapy in the future. read more

This is a super cute plant store! It had a good selection for smaller plants. We were looking for a larger plant, and didn't find it here. But we enjoyed looking around. It was mainly for indoor plants. Price is decent. read more

A small store, with an interesting selection of potted plants, cuttings, and Studio Ghibli merch. Not sure why that last one, but whatever. I appreciated the clerk's knowledge - I asked her about columneas, which I never see out here, and she mentioned that they often have lipstick plants in April or May. There were some rare and expensive Japanese imports, and really cute variegated leafy small potted plants. read more

I've been looking for a plant store around here, since I recently moved to the area. After visiting 3 other businesses and not being convinced by the prices, I decided to stop by Planterday, particularly because I saw a Yelp review that mentioned affordability. Of course, the pictures of beautiful plants also drew me in. I am SO happy to report that I was extremely happy with my experience at Planterday. My partner and I were looking for plants for a few rooms in our home. The person working at the store was very sweet and answered all of our questions, even giving us specific plant recommendations based on the direction our windows face in each room. The prices seemed to be pretty reasonable! I've been to so many plant stores that charge high prices for plants that don't look very well cared for. Planterday isn't like that at all. The prices are lower than I expected, and every single plant looks like it has been meticulously cared for. There's not a single one that looks a little sick. I didn't see a single brown leaf or any evidence of lack of sunlight, over/underwatering, pests, etc. Honestly everything looked super healthy. The surrounding neighborhood of downtown Rockridge also looked really cute. Lots of restaurants, cafes, and other local businesses to support! My partner and I ended up purchasing a marble queen pothos and a philodendron Brasil, as well as a ceramic pot and a plastic saucer. I can't wait to nurture these beautiful plants and watch them grow! Also can't wait to return to Planterday and add to my collection :) read more

Planterday - So many plants - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Oakland, California

One of my fave plant stores in the Bay Area. Prices are one of the best - and they have rare plants available for good prices too! They have a lot of non-plant stuff as well. Every time I go, the workers are always super friendly and willing to explain everything read more

The staff is incredibly helpful. Their shop is cute, with a small but nice selection of indoor plants and pottery. They run fun workshops and support local causes. read more

Adorable shop! They had exactly what I was looking for for a house warming gift. Friendly, calm, helpful assistance. Everything from houseplants and gifts, to full service re-potting. Locally owned and loved shop by a Bay Area Native. My first time in, but won't be my last! read more

TLDR: A+++ site for online plant shopping! (I have yet to be to the store although it looks rad). I couldn't have been happier with this experience, price or product. This was the rare experience where I felt like I got so much more than my moneys worth. I can't imagine buying a plant anywhere else now. What I wanted was so simple yet, I couldn't find it! 1. To shop for a large houseplant from a local shop (not online national one) 2. To see the actual plants available with real pictures that show the size 3. Large fully grown houseplants 4. Cheap would be nice?! 5. BIG ONE: Delivery without any hassle and, preferable, not giant boxes/shipping materials. And holy crap they actually did it! A great, detailed website that looks frequently updated, cheap prices for beautiful plants I can look right at and know how lush and beautiful they are! Everything is so full and healthy. I wish they grew my weed! The delivery was also only $10 fee (plus tip)! I've had people on NextDoor charge more to drop a plant off. Planterday brought it to my front door the next day in a very well-secured brown paper wrap, with the plant fully watered and secure, but in a packaging that was easy to remove and throw away. They also texted updates about the delivery that were helpful and minimal, not spammy stuff to sell me something. Rare these days! Anyway, love this place, and feel really good about supporting a business that takes pride in doing things right. read more

I've shopped at many plant shops in the bay but none compare to the beauty that is Planterday. Cynthia, apart from being super attentive and knowledgeable, was genuinely excited to answer our questions and share their own experiences with plants. She was warm and welcoming from start to finish, not just with my partner and I, but with every other costumer that came in. During our time there, a costumer came in and was pretty worried about some spider mites he saw on his plant. Without hesitation, Cynthia answered his questions and provided step by step instructions on how to properly care for his plant to get rid of the infestation. She is a rockstar!!! I also appreciate the small information cards all around the shop for folks that might be too shy to ask questions or need visual learning tools. I can tell that Planterday is very intentional behind their design, community, and space. There is so much love at Planterday and I am grateful to have experienced that during my visit today! I will definitely be back and I will never stop talking about Planter day!! Best plant-shop in the Bay read more

Wonderful local plant shop with a deep selection of houseplants and cute pots!! Added plus is the mission-driven aspect and did I mention they have amazing knowledgeable staff?? Always a pleasure pickup up online orders, purchasing in-store, or just browsing! Best value price-wise in the area too. read more

This is my favorite plant store in the area!! Street parking isnt tough to find, but they can be small spots. Very very cute little plant store, they have a lot of studio ghibli inspired decor around and the owners are absolute sweethearts! Every time ive gone in they answer all my questions (which can at times be plenty), and are very kind with their answers! i recently drove around to several plant stores for a Pink Princess Philodenron and was ONLY able to find it here for a great price. I also got a beauuutifully variegated syngonium albo cutting here for $18! They have lots of great plants at wonderful prices. You wont regret coming here! read more

Great selection of plants, but best of all, make sure you talk to the folks that work here. Owned by a wonderful husband and wife that clearly love plants and people. They've got basic advice for non green thumbs, as well as a love to grabbing rare plants on their trips to Asia. A welcome addition to the neighborhood. read more

I've been to a lot (maybe even most) of the plant shops across the Bay Area, so I don't say this lightly - Planterday is hands down my favorite of them all. Matt and Yumi are both incredibly warm and knowledgeable about their plants. I saw them helping customers with genuine care, taking the time to explain lighting and plant choices. The mission behind the shop is also close to my heart: they donate a portion of proceeds to Crisis Support Services of Alameda, which is a text line for people going through mental health crises. The shop itself is gorgeous, with a great selection of both common and rare plants! They also have a nice propagation bar if you'd rather buy cuttings at a cheaper price. Yumi answered my questions about carnivorous plants (ended up buying my first sundew!) and packaged my purchases with a lot of care, so I could safely transport them back to San Francisco. I love this shop, the selection, and especially its mission. It's clear that this is a space founded on love, and I plan to come back as often as I can :) read more

I casually stumbled upon Planterday after getting coffee nearby, and I just can't help myself whenever I see a plant store. The shop itself is super cute and cozy with a variety of plants to choose from. The staff was very welcoming and sweet! I love how the store categorized all of the plants by type and provided small info cards on how to take care of the plant. As a shy girly myself, I hesitate a lot when I want to ask questions, so I really appreciated that. I ended up picking up a plant and a planter for my purchase. I wish I lived closer to this area so I could stop by more often! As a tip, the shop offers stamp cards for frequent plant buyers (: I later learned that portions of the proceeds go toward supporting mental health resources and the Crisis Support Services of Alameda County. Overall, I'm really happy to have found Planterday by chance, and I hope to come back soon! read more

This place is incredible. It's super cute and feels really calming to be inside. They're really knowledgeable and friendly and clearly know what they're doing because all the plants are thriving They also have little tags next to the plants showing you how much light is needed, which was so helpful for me to visualize where I could put the plant. And the propagation station is such a cute and creative idea. I'll definitely be a regular customer here read more

This shop is divine. It feels like visiting the home of a loving friend, who happens to have amazing taste. The owner and shopkeeper are both so knowledgable, friendly, and warm. The energy is just ... sublime. I take any reason I can to visit! Also - they have so much more than plants!! Such fun and very affordable gifts for you or a friend. And, if you're in any way plant-curious, they will walk you through options in a super accessible, non-patronizing way. If you know a lot about plants, I bet you will learn something from them, too - I always do, and I work as a paid gardener! read more

This shop is just wonderful. Not only are the plants in great conditions, there's a huge variety, they're reasonably priced, they donate part of their proceeds AND the owner is knowledgeable. If you're not sure what plants to get if you explain where you're putting it they will let you know what plants will thrive. They also help out to find plants that are pet safe. They're sponsors of Crisis Support Services of Alameda County and that's where they donate a portion of the monthly proceeds to suicide prevention services. They also get most of their pots from small businesses which is wonderful to see - small businesses supporting other small businesses. This place is a must! read more

I passed by Planterday while walking down College and was drawn to the lush window display, full of beautiful plants and a cute Totoro watering can. I wasn't looking for anything in particular, but am always open to welcoming new plant babies into my home! The shop owner was very friendly and gave us lots of helpful recommendations and plant advice for which plants would do best in our low light home environment. There were so many awesome plant varieties in different shapes and sizes and modern planters as well as cute kawaii planters. The shop is warm and inviting, well-organized, and the prices were pretty affordable for the quality. We walked out with a calathea, snake plant, and a black ceramic planter. Highly recommend checking their shop out if you're looking for a statement plant or classic plant friend to add to your collection! read more

Yumi and Matt are two very passionate people about their business and community and it tells as soon as you walk into the store. They are extremely welcoming and knowledgeable, answering any questions I had. It's just so much education and recommendations they can give you within minutes. Even if you end up not getting a plant, you will walk away with a ton of knowledge. Needless to say, I walked out with some plants for my place. They will be my go-to resource for all my plant needs. AND to top it off, a part of their proceeds go towards great causes! read more

A dreamy, airy new storefront right smack in the middle of Rockridge. Stopped by for the soft opening and decided this would be my new plant provider - family and friends, get ready for some amazing gifts! The nicest part of this business is how hands on the owners are - and you can tell from the different areas of the store ( also an amazing case of rarities nobody can get their grubby cutting hands on). Prices are spot on for quality pieces, you can start with a baby if you're on a budget and watch it grow, or treat yourself on that monstera you've been dreaming about. Great for the whole fam!! read more

My friends and I stumbled upon this cute shop while walking to a bakery that was a few doors down. There were alot of live plants to choose from and the shop itself was definitely a vibe. Also, shoutout to the African-American male, I'm not sure if he was the owner but he was super nice and radiated good energy. read more

UPDATE: Almost half a year later, all of the cuttings have been successfully transplanted and are growing wonderfully.

Planterday is my absolute favorite local plant shop! Yumi is so kind and goes out of her way to show care. She has been consistently educational and communicative in all of our interactions. I haven't officially met Matt yet, but I'm sure he's amazing as well, haha! I really appreciate the quality of their plants... the plants I've bought here are thriving! It's obvious that they place a high emphasis on attention to detail. It's in their products, customer service, and overall business operations. That kind of mindful attention truly adds up to an all around positive customer experience. It's also commendable to see how Planterday is contributing to the community. 5 star local business! :) read more

Easily the best plant shop I've ever been to. You can tell the owners care deeply for these plants as they're all meticulously tended to by hand. This is my 6th plant from Planterday (purchased others in the past couple years at their pop ups) and have been consistently impressed with their quality and variety. Support this fantastic small business when you get a chance! read more
