Flora Grubb Gardens

I love this place! I have been here twice. The first time I was replacing the palm I had rescued from the trash room in my apartment that had finally decided to kick the bucket, so Flora Grubb's was definitely an upgrade. That time I bought a plant that is supposed to grow a foot a year. It is already taller than me, but that really isn't saying much. The guy who helped me was great...he led me around and showed me all the plants I couldn't afford, and told me why they were so expensive. And then he introduced me to the cheaper plant I couldn't kill, which gives fast rewards like arm workouts.

The second time I bought a little grassy plant that looks like Flora spent her entire morning curling its leaves. It was between this plant and the rattail cactus, which looked like cactus dreads. However, the nursery specialist told me that the grassy one was getting discontinued so I had to get that one. That's right. I have one of the last of the curlique grassy plants. Take that.

Oh, I also bought a cool succulent, which somehow has become covered in white aphidlike bugs. My sister and I vacuumed them off, but they are already back in full force. I give this plant another two months in my care, but that just means I'll have to go back to Flora's.

This place is gorgeous, and amazing. Staff is so friendly, and helpful, baristas are awesome. Great coffee. Prices are pretty medium. Wagons at the front to help with all the goodies that you are going to buy.

Awesome selection of draught tolerant plants and beautiful displays to give you inspiration for your own garden. Totally worth a trip!

Such a great place to grab a coffee, sit in the garden and pet all the cute dogs that come by. Although they didn't have the succulent I was looking for, the person that helped me was very friendly and knew what they had available. Some of their items were a little pricey but overall a great place to check out.

A great place to stop by and enjoy plants and some coffee. Has a good selection of different unique items and though pots are on the more expensive side, still reasonable. Employees weee helpful and answered all of our questions and gave great recommendations. There were little wagons near the front to help wheel out your haul. Fun stop if you're in the area or looking to add some green into your home!

My favorite nursery in the bay, Take my money any day.
Words can't describe how much I love this place. Grab a cup of coffee (which they sell) and just take a stroll. Large collection of indoor, outdoor, direct light, indirect light plants. The space is laid out well and as far as nursery's go, fairly priced (this ain't Home Depot). The staff is always available and happy to help, educate,make suggestions. Parking is easy too.

This is the coolest plant store I've ever been to. I came on a Saturday morning and there was a cute coffee cart selling coffee. They have a huge selection of plants and I felt the prices were reasonable. My favorite part of this plant shop was the outdoor piano. I played the only song I know how to play on the piano and it was really fun. I ended up getting a succulent for my apartment!

It's out of my way which is great for the wallet because they have GORGEOUS selections and very reasonable prices (for the most part, some of the more popular items are naturally pricier).

I have no idea why someone would say they're overpriced when they have 1-2 gallon size stag for $25. $25!!

The service is great, save the one cashier that checked me out that did the bare minimum (but even then I wouldn't say the service sucks), and when he was typing away on his cell in front of me, the other girl nicely asked if I needed help boxing up or anything. So really, 99% of the folks here are nice. The 1% is just a given. No one and nothing is perfect.

Anyone giving this place less than 5 is tripping.

Lovely people, gorgeous plants, amazing gifts! A San Francisco must shop! I hope you like unique plants.

I'm OBSESSED with Flora Grubb. My favorite plants (and pots) in my house are from here. We love just browsing around at all the plants and looking at their selection. I want to buy everything! It is on the pricier side, but the plants are just better here.

Everyone who works here is so incredibly helpful and nice. By nature, I am a plant killer with my brown thumb. Pre-pandemic, I came here in search for an indoor plant. They recommended I get a lipstick plant. Lo and behold, it has survived, bloomed, and is a fan favorite when people come over to visit.

The location is in the middle of nowhere, but its actually nice that parking is available and free.

Just to prove how plant illiterate I am. I have a confession to make - I've never heard of this place before, and I've lived in the Bay Area most of my life. And as we all know, that's a really long time. However, let me bask in my ignorance and delight in finding an unexpected bucolic space. I wasn't even looking for it as I just had lunch for the first time at All Good Pizza (review: https://bit.ly/36gtohl) and strolled down a very industrial-looking block. The nursery is pretty well enclosed from the street, so it was a complete surprise to see 8,000 square feet that almost felt like a park.

Naturally they specialize in plants that thrive in the Bay Area, which means there are quite a few palm trees, cacti, and succulents laid out in organized groupings. Some of the plants look downright sculptural like contemporary art pieces. Even the rainbow of patio chairs are decoratively presented on a wall (photo: https://bit.ly/3rNbdbs). A huge galvanized steel structure houses the indoor plants and garden furnishings. I heard there used to be a Ritual Coffee Roasters kiosk, but it has since closed unfortunately. No matter as I'll be back when I get motivated enough to develop a true green thumb. Hell won't be frozen yet.
