I absolutely love Paraiso Plant Studio!…read more They are located in the cute part of Berkeley, where there are tons of shops and restaurants. I wandered into the store, mostly on a whim, and I'm so thrilled that I did! The staff is absolutely sweet, helpful, and makes shopping so easy. Did I plan on buying a plant? Not at all. Did I? Absolutely! All of their plants are indoor specific, and they will help you find the perfect plant. Do you need a plant that goes in that spot in your Home or Office? That's full Senh? They've got you covered. Do you need a plant that prefers subtle or little to no lighting in your home or office? They've got you covered. Their plants are beautiful, healthy, and they range in different sizes from the most petite, too much larger sizes. The plant I picked out with help from one of the staff, not only is perfect for the space that I want it for, but because I also purchased a lovely ceramic pot, as a complementary service, they repotted my plant in its new ceramic pot. They do offer repotting for your plants, and it's obvious that they have a ton of repeat customers. The store was becoming busy as I was looking at all the different plants, gifts, etc., and if people weren't purchasing arrangements, or having repotting done, they were purchasing new plants like I was. This is a special place to get lost in, shop in, and fall in love with plants.

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!

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.

This non-profit community farm is such a peaceful hidden gem. It's filled with a wide variety of…read moregarden fruits, vegetables, and plants--everything from herbs and veggie starts to full-grown trees. 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
