I’ve ordered 12+ plants from here and all are thriving! The best part is the thorough descriptions of each type of plant so you can ensure you choose what will do best in your own garden.

Love this place! Annies propagates their own plants. They have all sorts of California natives, special succulents and drought tolerant plants. Order online or travel, its a fun place to visit, particularly if you garden.

The nursery that feeds so many of the Bays best nurseries -- how can you go wrong? On your first visit be sure to find an employee when you walk in so they can give you a how-to about finding what youre looking for.If you are not in the mood to browse the aisles and aisles of wonderful plants, you can check out what they have online ahead of time and make a list for a more directed shopping trip. If youre looking for indoor plants you might want to look elsewhere, because Annies is pretty much all outdoor.Everyone who works there is extremely knowledgeable and always willing to help, so come with your questions.Even if youre not in the market for new garden materials, its a nice way to spend an hour just looking at beautiful plants and flowers. Its peaceful and rather meditative to meander through their gardens.

An outdoor plant lovers dream. Can be overwhelming how many plants there are to choose from. A great place to spend the afternoon. Parking lot might be slightly limited at peak times, but theres street within short walking distance.Staff is knowledgeable and helpful, speedy checkout even on busy days. Everything is well labeled and price is color coded.Tip: Snap a photo of your plants description card or take a catalog for care instructions. To save water and avoid buying a plant that wont be happy in your area, check the zoning or just look for labels like clay tolerant, drought tolerant, native, low maintenance, easy for sure bets.

Wow! There are so many plants. Every plant has a photo and full description. You can make a well informed decision. The plants are very reasonable. You are not going to find the same plants that you do at the big stores- you find wild and unique plants.You will get lost! In the best possible way. If you cannot make it you can order online (I did probably 6 or 7 times before visiting). And the staff are everywhere and so helpful. Thank you Annie, I am so excited for my yards!

What a cool place. Not your average nursery. If you want something more exotic....this is the place . An hour is no where near enough time to browse. Staff was super friendly. Well worth the drive.

Lovely and amazing variety of naitives and exotic plants. 😍 great way to spend a sunny day.

This is my happy place. The nursery mostly offers plants in 4 inch containers making it easy to re-plant in your own yard. Many rare varieties. Be sure to attend their spring party!

Easy for me to find my happy place here. If you go there do some homework online first. This is not a big box nursery, this is the real deal. Your experience will be better if you have some idea as to what you are looking for.Driving by the reservoir on San Pablo Dam road on my way there is relaxing but if you cant get there in person, Annies ships their plants right to your door. I have been shopping there online and in person for a least ten years and would recommend this nursery to any one that cares about gardening.

I recently placed my first order with Annies for 4 plants. They arrived very well packaged and healthy in 4 containers. The box was clearly labeled live plants so the shipper knew how to handle. Im super impressed with my whole experience. From price, ordering, delivery and the quality of the plants, everything was perfect.

Annies fills a critical void in the Bay Area retail nursery trade. With an inventory that is predominantly 4, its easy to overindulge with purchases that do not take up a lot of room in the car. The species diversity really cant be found anywhere else. Despite the name, Annies also carries perennials and shrubs.Another key feature of Annies is their use of display plants that can help purchasers visualize the plants as they grow. A modest facility, they can pack a colorful punch into anyones garden.Dont feel like making the trek? Consider mail-order or see if your local nursery carries Annies inventory. You have a lot of choices in this space.

I love visiting this place for its wonderful selection of native plants. There are hundreds of various plants to pick from, ranging from herbs to succulents, annuals and perennials, each including very helpful descriptions and growing information. I recommend checking out their website too - tons of super helpful info.Staff is knowledgeable and super nice. Wear a mask and prepare for a bit longer line on the weekends. Worth the wait.

One of my favorite places to get plants! They have a great setup for safety during the pandemic and their workers are so helpful. Their quantity and quality of plants is amazing and we always end up buying more plants as they make it so easy to find more than you are looking for. Their quirky art also makes for great pictures and entertaining children.

Great place to visit to get natives and other unique plants that are drought tolerant and some that resist animal eating them. Plenty of plants to attract bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. Large area containing thousands of plants. Plants for all seasons and sun light needs. They have everything from succulents, tropicals, some vegetables and fruit trees. They dont carry things like big box type trees and shrubs. More in the cottage garden type plants. This is a commercial nursery that lets the general public in. They require masks now and cards only to pay. They display there plants wonderfully in a garden by entrance and on ends of aisles. Very helpful staff. Its in an out of the way place in Richmond and if you werent looking for it you would miss it. By the busy railroad tracks and a car pick n pull type site. Parking can get tight on weekends.

So many varieties! Love the sign. Easy to tell how much plants are

Really friendly place to go. Be prepared to be overwhelmed with the selection there. Tip before going is to go on their website beforehand and see if they have what you are looking for and then find the location. But it is always great to explore the whole nursery to see something new.

I am a new customer to Annies annuals and perennials. I discovered her from another plant friend/nursery owner. I have gotten two shipments now. All my plants have been neatly packaged with care and healthy looking upon arrival. I love getting unusual and new varieties. I have gotten things a bit more tender but I bring them in till our mountain air location warms up. My first deliver has been flurishing. I am really pleased with my product and the colorful magazine the easy to buy website. Highly recommend Id give them 5 stars but I have noticed they do run out of stock so buy fast. Happy planting.

Annies is always amazing to visit. Knowledgeable staff, and a huge selection of interesting and not-so-common varieties of plants.

Annie’s is the BEST Nursery in the Bay Area! Just being there lifts my spirits! Purchased many succulents over the years and annuals. So beautifully displayed, healthy and tons of info on each plant. I e also found things like Chocolate Cosmos which are very hard to find!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Annies is an iconic nursery in a world of horticultural suppliers who have sold out to big box chains sacrificing quality and service and genuine product for profit. From the beginning, Annie says always had great customer service, impressive information and graphics, superior plant products of genuine and unique quality and artistic presentation through their display gardens. Ive seen it grow from a small operation into a diverse business catering nurseries and retailers the area as well as filling peoples gardens with beauty.

I always have a good experience going here, short of spending more than I intended. Annies is my Target haha. I love how much effort they put into planting and designing the flowers/etc throughout the location, in addition to the diverse flowers they offer. I picked up a rare weeping dahlia, as well as two other species of dahlia, over the years and I LOVE them.

Fair prices for a huge range of annuals and perennials. The plants we bought looked healthy and well tended. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Love the plant location booklet they have. This place is massive and if you have a specific plant in mind the booklet is where to look.

Best prices and deals in town .....unique flowers . They actually give you money back for buying items from them.. 100% great

Hidden gem! Was referred to this place by someone at Sloat, and its awesome. Great selection, well organized, got more than what I needed. Will be back for sure. Worth the drive from Pittsburg, too!

Fantastic friendly spot, BUT... if you are looking for Non GMO or Organic edibles you are looking in the wrong place by coming here. None of their starts have labels for these, I asked why and it’s because they use synthetic additives to their specialized soil. Sorry but NO THANK YOU. These are hard to avoid but I will keep looking. Isn’t it about time some wholesome organic and natural foods are easily available. I’ll stick to seeds from now on!

Organized and well labeled with lots of growing info. Huge place.

I love the variety of beautiful flowers, and it is nice that they ship. I also appreciate that if a plant dies right away they will give you a credit (but do not like that the creidt can only be used in person... if I ship, that means I do not shop in person). My main problem is that when I placed a large order and most of the plants died, when I called to discuss the issue/ find out what I could do differently next time, I was told Well, you should never plant those plants at your location this time of year. So Annies sold me plants they knew would die. This doesnt sit right with me. I dont think I will even go back.

So many choices, its amazing , friendly professional staff and ready to assist you in finding anything you need. :)

First off after spending hours looking online for nurseries, I found their website. It was such a relief to navigate their awesome site. They let me search by my zone and the water need and the fact I needed shade plants. Because their webiste made shopping so easy, I spent too much money, but thats on me haha. I was super excited to get some fun plants. They were delivered today and WOW really such a great job packing them. They all look so healthy and in such a great condition. I had to post to support this great site that sent me some fabulous plants; very happy with the whole purchase and product.

Nice drive to this place. Selection of plants good.

I purchased several plants last year from this site as I really found some very unique plants that really caught my attention. I have a heavily landscaped yard with many flowers, trees and shrubs and I am always on the lookout for things not typical for this location. I live in central SC and am rated zone 8b and several plants have not faired well. One after a short period of time and two others did not last through a very mild winter here. When checking back with this seller, they only guarantee plants for 30 days which really is like saying there are no returns because the plant has to virtually arrive dead before you could qualify. Although this website has great selections, they dont stand behind their plants at all so buyer beware. Even the local big box stores carry a one year guarantee as long as you bring back the dead plant. I suspect their zone ratings may not be accurate as the items that are doing poorly and died were all supposed to be hardy in this zone but they arent.

I always feel anxious when ordering plants through mail order: I prefer to spend time looked at the plants at nurseries and garden centers. Annie’s Annuals my order so beautifully. Not a single twig nor leave was damaged in transit!I have uploaded a photo of the perfectly packed plants! Thank you, Annie’s Annual

Dont bother coming here, they got a line to get in that resembles the line outside Oakland foodbank line because theyre limiting the number of people coming in, even though the science shows Covid is not transmitted outdoors if everybodys wearing masks. Not sure whos dumb idea this was but nobody should have to wait an hour in line just to buy some poppies.

A little on the pricey side but well worth it and a fantastic selection to boot.

Very helpful. Actually had the two plants I was looking for.

Lovely and a place that feeds my interesting plant addictions

I love this nursery!Staff is super knowledgeable, the grounds are pretty friendly, and there are SO MANY wonderful natives.Pro tip: browse their incredibly well designed website first. There is SO MUCH to experience.

Wow, from the moment you step into Annies youre taken back by the amount of plants available. Within a minute of entering a very friendly representative was there to give an orientation of the nursery; lay out of rows and columns, color coded prices, what the notes on the description meant and where to look up plants by latin name. As my family and I perused the aisles a service rep was always ready if we had questions. Seriously, one of the friendliest plant nurseries Ive ever set foot in.The selection of plants available is numerous, although if you have a certain plant in mind I would call ahead of time to double check availability. It was nice to see how many CA natives were available along with more drought resistant plants.The prices are fair for being the quality assured with each item. We left with 10 plants ; mid-range in price for roughly $70. I will be coming back to Annies due to the the amazing customer service and selection.

Just wow. So much variety, great looking plants.

My favorite nursery, hands down. Been ordering from them for years and hope to actually visit in person one day. CA’s best.

Large selection of native and non-native plants. Friendly staff.Everything is in 4 inch pots. I usually repot into gallons to let the root structure expand before planting into the ground.

Annies has the best plants and herbs! Every single plant I have purchased is thriving. I will continue to come here for my winter and summer replenishment. There are so many different varieties as well!

Thank you for the beautiful Lemon Verbena plant! I was expecting a seedling but I received a healthy, lush plant that was kept in perfect condition throughout transport. It smells wonderful and I am very happy with my purchase. Highly recommended.

My favorite nursery in east bay! Totally recommend it!

Its a beautiful nursery with a plethora of Perennials to choose from. Check it out for yourself!

Was very curious so went for a bit of a drive. Wow was I surprised! Line was a bit long to get in but worth the short wait. Despite it being mid planting season. Found so many different things. All kinds of plants some rare and exotic. Very helpful people to answer your questions. Was so excited will be back soon

Annies is a sacred space, and my happy place.

I actually work here. And its the place where you want to go and discover a whole new world of gorgeous plants to your own garden.

It was huge! They had every kind of plant imaginable with instructions on how to care for them. Only problem was the 6 tall velociraptor was not for sale.

Awesome customer service. Buying again. And again. In a few weeks.

I have been trying to find ANY nursery with Lewisia Cotyledon in stock and to my surprise this place had that plus several more varieties.I had to wait for a good shipping time, but it was the most impressive shipped plant set up Ive ever seen.They were in specialized boxes, in the planters still, with wax paper on top to keep the soil moist and spaced out to protect the flowers.Im in WA state, so pretty close for shipping. I will definitely be a repeat customer for this nursery!

Friendly, knowledgeable, professionals with all kinds of helpful tips about their plants. Great variety.

Such a wonderful peaceful place to get your plant fix

Their online location map just doesnt cut it for me. My screen is too small given my farsighted vision. We found what we were looking the old fashioned way before I could bring up the right screen on the phone.They will load those heavy bags soil/mulch for you if you pull up to the loading zone!

Great nursery and amazing prices...staff and service was awesome...Ill be back every month.Lady Diana

Good service,lot of rare plant👍

Always a pleasure going to annies

One of the best places to buy plants for your personal garden. The variety of plants they have is amazing!This is a perfect place to take your children and enjoy plants.

Ordered online for delivery. I visited Annies one time in 2019 and loved the layout. Due to pandemic limitations I ordered online for delivery this time around. Everything (30+plants) was delivered in excellent condition. I was initially dismayed to see a lot of what looked like styrofoam peanuts but they are clearly labeled as bio degradable and compostable, suitable for the green bins. I am VERY impressed with the quality of the plants and service from Annies. They have a large variety of plants I guarantee you wont find at your local garden center - and were named as a favorite by Martha Stewart herself. 5 stars.

Fannies widely seen as the best. Incredible variety and seems like miles of trays. Native section, drought resistant section. I really like their demonstration pots, where they show their skills/expertise and grow full versions of many species. Awesome!

Annies has an amazing selection of both annuals and perennials. The plants also tend to thrive much better than plants from other places. My suspicion is that they dont tend to foce them into bloom artificially, which tends to really stress plants.

Because of the pandemic I ordered my plants online after sifting through Annies amazing online catalogue. The package was received within one day of shipping and inside were my beautiful healthy plants. I smiled unpacking them seeing that they had been packed with as much love as I felt for my plants. I will definitely be going back to Annies whether online or in person. They obviously care about their plants and customers!

One of the best things about living in Richmond is being in close proximity to Annies Annuals and Perrennials. It is a great nursery and wonderful resource for learning and planting your own garden. Each plants has a description and picture and tells you what you need to know if you are willing to read the signs for each plant.

Suppa nice plants

I called Annie’s Annual and tried to purchase 4 of the same plant over the phone. I would pay by credit card. I told the person a relative would pick up the plants the next day. I live several counties away.The employee told me I absolutely could not do that. The only way I could get the plants was have my relative shop at the nursery and pay for them there. I asked if they could set the plants aside. My relative could buy them the next day. The employee said no. Either my relative go through the nursery and find the plants on her own and pay for them OR I order them on line. This business is NOT consumer friendly.

This was my second experience in mail-order plant delivery. My previous experience was with another nursery (not Annies) where the plants arrived in a pathetic, so-so condition that required months of rehab before they started looking healthy and this was after overnight express delivery. I gave that competitive nursery a C- or D+ grade at best...Annies was my second experience - wow! what a difference in how the plants arrived and how healthy they are. The plants I received from Annies were first-class and ready to go! Yes, I would certainly recommend Annies to anyone. An A+ grade for quality and service for sure.My only recommendation to Annies is: it would be helpful if your delivery service sent notification about an expected delivery date & time. My plants arrived a day-earlier than expected and luckily, I saw the box by the front door before the sun damaged them. Other than that minor oversight, Annies did a perfect job! Thank You!

Unfortunate that during COVID, they do not place a limit on those inside. Imagine waiting in the hot sun for an hour trying to get in. Not even some tents set up. You better really want those plants, bring sun screen and a chair and be ready to wait

Went to Annies this past Saturday a.m. (Been coming here for years). Great selection as always and the staff here know their stuff! Big thanks to the nice gal who checked me out. I dont go anywhere else for plants. This place is a true gem!!

This place is a treasure trove of plants! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the best plants for your needs. I was looking for low maintenance, weed suppressing plants for the parking strip, came away with exactly what I needed! Even with the necessary precautions of wearing a mask and maintaining distance, it was a pleasant experience!

I love the variety and quality of plants at Annies. Ive had great success with all of my plant purchases so far.

Annies is a flower gardeners dream. If you want a spectacular flower garden, start here. The staff are friendly and helpful.

Years ago I found Annie’s Annuals at the flower and garden show in San Francisco. I fell in love with the plants they offered. Now 20 years later, their catalogue is the very best with great photos and plant care for each plant.I ordered from them this year, and was so pleased with the quality and 4” plants that arrived in the best condition I have ever acquired from a mail order nursery! Cudos to you Annie’s Annuals for getting mail order plants right!Thank you!!

A truly amazing selection of plants.

This is one of the best places to buy plants in this area. The staff are always very helpful. What they stock varies with the season, so you have to check back often to see if they have what you want.

This is insane, out of this world. I waited in lane over 30 minutes for buying 4 4inches plants. There was just one guy at cashier. I went to ask if they could please have another cashier but the person I talked to was pretty rude, told me were short staffed. Yet I saw many workers, not just nursery workers, also customer service people hanging out.Annie: do not take your customers for granted. Thats unacceptable to make people wait 30 minutes to buy plants.This is my last time buying from your nursery until you resolve this issue. Theres one nursery very close, with native plants, that is much less corporate-oriented. Shame on you and your team for speaking so rudely and in a condescended manner to customers. And making everyone wait so long.

Not a gardener, honestly have come to dislike gardening. My friend/roommate LOVES gardening and is a personal pro! 5 stars because regardless of how much it costs me, Im not shopping for myself.

Little gem of a place. Cool decorating, and a spacious layout thats number and letter coded to easily navigate in person or look up what you want through their website. Received nothing but excellent customer service there so far. Before the covid scaries they used to put on spring and mothers day events that were a blast as well.

A gardening wonderland! Staff is so knowledgeable and friendly. Allow plenty of time to enjoy this very special place. Great prices, unusual finds, extremely well organized and a ton of fun.

I was surprised, they have veggies on sale. Just picked some heirloom tomato, cucumber, and squash plants. 20% off tomato plants didnt see that on their web site. People there helpful and everyone was observing the wearing of masks and the 6 foot rules. Amazing selection.

Amazing! Great selection and the packing for shipping was top notch. Unlike any other plant delivery experience Ive had. Will definitely order again.

Great selection and knowledgable help!

Wonderful selection. Mostly helpful staff. Even though you are in their system and receive catalogs. Be sure to bring your coupon. I droveforty miles (one way) / spent $250 and learned the hard way!

Huge plant nursery, with all kinds of plants, and helpful, knowledgeable staff. Nice section of California native plants, with labels for bee friendly natives.

Annies is the best place in the Bay Area to get your annual and perennial potted seedlings. The selection is unmatched and the plants are healthy and robust.

We got alot of nice plants today just as we always do there. Great staff. Nice nursery to visit even if you dont buy anything.

We enjoyed visiting your nursery last weekend. The wide variety of California native plants was impressive. Additionally, we were able to get some purple tree collards cuttings, which was a score. See you again soon!

So many wonderful plants. The 20% discount was great.

Mostly small plants, but with a huge selection and people who know where to find what you want.

Beautiful, amazing flowers and displays! They have plenty of vegetables to grow also and their website and online ordering excellent!

Great selection. Did not see fruit trees.

The best nursery in California. Annie and her crew clearly love what they do. This is the only place I will drive 50 miles to shop!

Excellent nursery for flowering plants and natives

Lots of plants. Native to california.

Great place, helpful staff and acres of plants. Best time to go is when they have their fall festival. Savings galore!

Its always a treat plant shopping at Annies. Today Annie herself help me with my native succulent wish list. So gracious.

I was looking for succulents ... There are cool ones to look at here but not a lot of variety to buy. The flowers look great though!

This was my first time here. My husband and I went to the Butterfly Summit. We even wore Butterfly capes, and we felt appreciated, I think in part because this nursery, is very whimsical. The selection is outstanding! There is California native plants. Some rare plants. They dont use harmful chemicals. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The layout is nicely organized so you can find what sort of plants you want easily. I love this place.

Excellent selection, healthy plants, good prices, And, a very friendly staff.

Got two passion flower vines and Doo doo! Love Annies

Lots of great starts. Disappointed in the potting soil and compost — don’t buy it here. Compost was still hot (and stinky!). And potting soil was full of raw wood and had very little nutrition. Basically 50% mulch for the price of high quality organic soil.
