And my bestie was looking for a bonsai tree and what do you know?!! So many to choose from. We also picked up some of their gorgeous air plants!! If you're looking for something specific, I bet they have them here. Service is excellent. There's a small parking lot attached. I cannot wait to come back. 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've been here twice (before and after the new location) and love it here! This plant shop is such…read morea vibe from the decor to the amazing staff. 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!

I really love that it's POC/queer-owned and an LGBTQ+ welcoming space. The plants are on the pricier side, but it's absolutely worth it--everything is pest-free, handled with proper care, and their soil mix is great. Their new store is also fantastic--much bigger with a bright, airy feel. Will continue coming back :)

Get ready to be inspired for a native plant garden of your own! Oaktown Native Plant Nursery makes…read moreit easy. 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.

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.

No returns are allowed on items such as electronics and clothing. Dogs are welcome inside, with countless signs posted noting that it's not a poop and pee zone. There's also a sign near the toy section stating "unattended children will be given candy and a free puppy."

Very recently I witnessed Urban Ore stop staff placing thousands of CDs into the trash. I asked…read more"why"? and was told "the cases were cracked or the discs were scratched". I went to the front and offered to take the CDs they were sending to the landfill. I stated I had boxes with me - the staff seemed amenable however when the manage Claudio was asked he overruled them and stated "no" - the CDs are now on the landfill - I have a machine to resurface discs, a press to flatten creased artwork and thousands of cases - however a company who's catch phrase is "zero waste" dumped" thousands of perfectly salvageable items. I contacted Urban Ore via email, via messaging and tagged them in social media as well as posting on their own FB page - no response. People donate items to Urban Ore thinking they think they are keeping them out of the landfill - the behavior of Claudio shows that this is a lie and Urban Ore appears to be a scam.
