Helena helped me pick out these beauties!

This gem has become our all-time favorite nursery...the staff, especially Helena, is fantastic and very creative...the selection is the best in Bay Area...the location is so gorgeous you want to wander around and stay forever! Also a very cute and unique gift shop. Treat yourself to a meander through the garden!

Beautiful Yarrow Nursery.

Yarrow Nursery is the sister store to Broadway Terrace Nursery and have a common owner. Both are on small plots of land in the Oakland Hills and feature nice selections of healthy plants in 4", gallon and larger sizes, as well as nicely curated collections of indoor plants and pottery. I like visiting rustic Yarrow and walking through the crunchy gravel walkways to see their latest offerings, which often include items you can't get at Broadway Terrace or anywhere else. Yarrow also has beautiful high-end outdoor furniture, outdoor pillows and cushions, a larger selection of fruits and vegetables, hanging plants and supplies. The people are always nice and eager to help. Recommended.

I can't stop thinking about our trip to Yarrow! What a wonderful, sweet, and thoughtful local nursery. The BEST part?? They have a Make-Your-Own succulent bar where you can pick out your own plants and planter, then they provide rocks, soil, and other items to beautify the finished product. PRO TIP: you are free to bring your own planter or container! We made a whole family trip up there and I can't wait to go back. It's been a month and all of our plants here are very, very happy.

Yarrow Nursery is one of the most enchanting nurseries I've ever been to. It's secluded up in the Oakland Hills and completely engulfed by nature. Even if you don't plan on buying plants immediately, it's worth making a trip to this nursery just to see it in all its glory. Past being a beautiful sight, they're a wonderful small business with great customer service (Helena and Daniel are AMAZING!!). We love their plant selection and are always eager to scoop up the native species they have. We also decided to stick with Yarrow and Broadway (their sister nursery) for our recent project converting our median from concrete to a shaded area with trees and native plants to help the local wildlife. Highly recommend their beautiful selection of trees, native plants (especially the manzanitas, sages, and ceanothuses) and their soil amendments/micro bark (will post pictures once we get a bit more growth from the smaller natives we planted adjacent to the trees). We're thankful we get to support this wonderful small business in our neighborhood. Highly recommend and we look forward to completing more projects in the future with both Yarrow and their sister nursery, Broadway!

I do wish I could've taken this bb home! Only if the price was right :/

My friend and I decided to go plant store hopping in Oakland and came across this nursery. First thing I noticed was the layout was hella cute and done well indoor and outdoor. Unfortunately I can't say the people we came across were that friendly as others had mentioned. I don't think anyone really acknowledged us. As far as variety goes, they did have a good selection but nothing crazy crazy rare. Because we've gone to several places in Oakland I do have to say this particular spot was one of the priciest so I didn't end up taking any plant bbs home.

Absolutely lovely nursery. I'm a big gardener and I love having this place in the neighborhood. It's tucked in a beautiful neighborhood surrounded by redwoods, and they always have a great selection of veggie starts, herbs, and flowers. Big succulent and ornamental section as well, and houseplants inside. Super friendly staff. Highly recommend visiting and supporting! My dog also loves it and they give him treats every time he comes in.

Bouquet from local florist

The moment I walked in I was immediately greeted with friendly faces. They were able to provide me with extensive knowledge regarding the plants and helped me pick out an arrangement. They had a beautiful selection of plants and I was really happy with my purchase. Added bonus they were selling bouquets from a local florist which I find to be adorable! Would definitely recommend.

Yarrow is beautiful. I love the layout, with winding paths through trees and available-for-purchase plants, plus an indoor building for more decor and indoor friendly plants. The staff was very helpful on a busy Saturday, both coming up to check in and answering our many questions. They have a great variety of tiny plants to large ones. I loved the succulent section with such a great variety to choose from in different sizes. Their herbs also were fairly broad, with many varieties of mint, oregano, basil, etc. And when one wasn't present, the staff told us when it would be restocked. Very happy we came here and am excited to return!

Thriving Lantana

I've been coming to this magical and beautiful nursery for nearly two years, and have bought several plants. However, I recently had a very disappointing experience. I bought a total of six Lantana plants - from two different growers. After two weeks three plants are thriving and three (from a different grower) are dying. I returned to Yarrow to explain the situation and brought photos, expecting some kind of refund or replacement. The salesperson who had sold me the plants insisted that my three plants were not dying, and I should cut them way back, stating it is very hard to kill Lantana. She wasn't the least bit interested in knowing the names of the growers. I'll probably return to Yarrow, but will be less likely to buy.

Variegated mirror plant I got for a great price.

Wow! They really go above and beyond with their customer service at Orchard Nursery! I had a small…read morepot that I wanted to fill with flowers, but because there were so many choices, I sought assistance. Gianna, and two other amazingly helpful plant experts worked together to find the perfect flowering combination for my pot. While they searched, I strolled through the nursery's beautiful grounds. There were so many colorful flowers, gorgeous plants and trees, and an abundance of vegetable to choose from. Gianna came over to show me what they had chosen, and I couldn't have been more pleased! They took into consideration the amount of light my pot would get, and even chose flowers that would compliment the color of my front steps-so thoughtful Prices were on par for high quality plants. I paid $31.65 for the three beautiful, hand picked plants (Gianna is holding them in one of the pics!) There are so many more positive things that I could say about my experience at Orchard Nursery!, but I recommend that you go and see for yourselves. Also, don't forget to pop into Lazy K's gift shop. It's the charming little house off to the right-full of lovely treasures. The team clearly loves what they do, and takes pride in their work. I highly recommend Orchard Nursery for any plant needs, or if you just want to stroll through their beautiful nursery!

I love all the plants, and I especially appreciate that the owner features products from other small businesses in her shop. The owner is AMAZING--her personality and aura are truly special. She was warm, welcoming, and friendly, and on top of that, she's absolutely beautiful. She's created a stunning space not only for her plants but also for other local creators. I also love that she hosts different community events, giving people a chance to connect. Plus, she's extremely knowledgeable about plants. I bought a small cactus for about $6, and it's thriving beautifully. Prices vary depending on what you're looking for, and there are plenty of plant-related products available as well. Plenty of parking spaces in the shopping center. I highly recommend this wonderful plant shop. The intentional beauty and attention to detail are evident everywhere. Overall, a 10/10 experience.

I told her my needs and the areas where the potential plants will reside and she found these two that should work. She was attentive in my not having a green thumb and even repotted the Pin-stripe calathea for me--very nice touch. She educated me on why my succulents always die to look for plants with darker leaves as they are better at low light vs lighter colored leaves since my home doesn't get a lot of light. She loves her plants! She requested pics of their new home haha. There they are and I promise to take care of them! John
