They carry Foxfarm soil. Parking up in front. Also it's located next to freeway way on and off ramps. It's better to spend money here than at Lowe's across the street.

Have been coming to Flowercraft for many years. Knowledgeable and helpful staff, a wide variety of seasonal plants, succulents and herbs. Have found great buys in their bargain section which I have resuscitated. Carries a variety of potting soil and garden soil boosters which come in different sizes. As a senior, the staff has always helped to load the heavy bags of soil into my trunk.
Flowercraft is a gem of a nursery.

What a selection. I kept going to Lowe's to try to find a pole for my Fiddle Leaf Fig, and some water catching plates for my other plants and the selection was limited, but here at Flowercraft, there are so many options and they're really good for matching the theme of my apartment!
Definitely our go-to in the southeast side of the cityHelpful 3Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - 496021621Mar 26, 2022
What a great find and never knew about this garden center located across from Floorcaft on Old Bayshore. After going to 2 nurseries and a a big box garden center we were given the name of Flowercraft where they had healthy rhododendrons that we wanted for our yard! Helpful and knowledgeable staff with indoor and outdoor selections. They also have a membership rewards plan based on your spend and seniors get a discount on Wednesdays.

An extremely impressive collection of plants. I appreciated all the "one way" markers on the floor and signage for limiting two people at a time in the smaller corners of the place. They definitely promote social distancing.
As the fires increase and people are bored at home, turning your house into an indoor jungle has been increasing more and more on social media. It was hard to limit myself to only three plants when there was a beautiful selection, but the price point was a bit higher for me. We decided to stop by because my husbands grandma has lived up the street from here for several decades and used to love coming here.
Only downside, like most places in SF, is limited parking.Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 4Oh no 0 - 1904862913May 24, 2020
AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING. LOVE FLOWERCRAFT. Was on the hunt for some new leafy beauts to add to the collection! And boy, Flowercraft really came through!
The selection of plants available is plentiful. The staff is extremely friendly. The parking can be a bit tough, but ppl come and go constantly, so there should be something available.
Ppl seemed to be taking the social distancing here seriously and respectfully as well. Will be back soon!Helpful 11Thanks 0Love this 10Oh no 0 - Brittany T.Berkeley, CA0149Aug 26, 2021
I was looking for white planters and fresh planted white florals for my wedding ceremony. I called a few garden centers who weren't able to help me, but after emailing with the owner of Flowercraft, I knew I was in good hands. My father and I came to the store with some photos, and Meredith helped make our vision come to life! She suggested different floral types that would work best and she even had all of the modern white planters I was looking for!
Meredith was so friendly and knowledgeable about flowers! As an added service, Meredith took care of the flowers and made sure they looked beautiful for my wedding day. We picked them up the week of the wedding and they looked amazing at our ceremony! My wedding planner even commented how great of an idea that was, and as an eco-friendly added bonus, we took home the flowers after the wedding and are planning to plant them in my dad's backyard.
Thank you Meredith and Flowercraft for helping make my big day so special! We will definitely return for any other gardening needs in the future!!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
