Landscaping reviews in San Francisco, California

This place came highly recommended. We couldn't have been more disappointed. Not only did they not have the plants we called in advance about, but the employees didn't even try to help us find an alternative, which we were open to. Two employees asked us if we were finding everything okay, we told them what we were looking for. One employee provided no information (why ask then?) and the other employee said they weren't sure, and then went to the corner and was texting. Waste of time, don't go here unless you're ready to roll the dice on them having exactly what you want. The employees will not help you. We wandered around googling things, gave up, left empty handed.

A beautiful shop with a great variety of plants to peruse outside.

They sell many kinds of flowers, pots,soils.
The plants are quite expensive.

Adams at Sloat nursery @ 45th Ave is such a wonderful person ! He is very patient and also very knowledgeable too ! He helped me to find my special order of the Pink pencil succulent and answered all my questions! Adams is truly asset of this nursery Garden!

PRICE-GOUGING GALORE!!!!

These extremely common houseplants are marked up AT LEAST 2x - 3x what they would normally cost at literally any other nursery or garden center (SF Flower Market has the same 10” Dracaena Lemon Lime for $30 even without their membership discount).

On top of that, I’ve showed up at 4:48pm and 4:38pm on consecutive days and have been rejected. I understand social distancing and limiting customers, but there was literally no one in line either time. And your store currently does not close until 5pm. That means, you let paying customers in until 5pm.

Sadly, so much for trying to support my local neighborhood small business. I’ll spend my time and money at Home Depot next time, where the same items are half the price and the customer service is actually customer-friendly.

Went out of my way yesterday to drive to this establishment to explore plants and supplies and felt very unwelcome. I was treated like a ghost and that's interesting being that I had more color than anyone in there and a lot more pleasing to the eyes as well. If you are a person of color, I wouldn't waist my time patronizing this store. They weren't busy and not once was I greeted of ask if assistance is needed. Very cold.......not warm, friendly or inviting at all. The thing is, if I wanted to spend good money there I easily could've. Shame on Sloat Garden Center.

1st time to nursery as new to Bay area but lovely nursery. Great variety.

Great selection of healthy indoor and outdoor plants, staff are very friendly and knowledgeable.

Always a great selection of plants and related material and a helpful and friendly staff.

I haven't been to this location in years. It didn't disappoint. I like how they have it organized in sections according to plant type and needs, etc. Nice collection of large pots. I only picked up a couple small things but I'd Iove to go back with a plan. They seemed to handle the social distancing issue pretty well which 7 really appreciate. I look forward to my next return.

This is my oasis in the city. The people who work here are proactive, friendly, and chill… a hard balance to have. Plants are typically in a good condition. It’s easy to get in and out as there are often free parking spots in the lot and it’s not crowded. Reasonable prices. I’m a fan.

EDIT to reply to the store: yes! You may use the image 🥳

I like going to the garden center where the plants are lovingly cared for. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. While the prices may be a little more than the big box stores, at least you can find someone who can give you personal advice and tips for our climate and growing conditions. Shop local.

Always a pleasure to work with the fine people at Sloat. If you're planning to pksnt something this spring definitely stop by for supplies.

5 Stars – A Plant Lover’s Paradise!

Sloat Garden Center is hands down one of my favorite places to shop for plants and gardening supplies. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and always ready to help, whether you're a seasoned gardener or just getting started. Their selection of healthy, vibrant plants is impressive—everything from native plants to exotic finds—and the layout of the store makes browsing a joy.

I especially appreciate how well-organized everything is. The signage is clear, the plants are well cared for, and they even label what’s good for sun or shade, which is super helpful. The pottery selection is gorgeous and unique, and I love their eco-conscious products and organic soil options.

Every time I visit, I leave inspired and excited to dig into my garden. It’s more than just a store—it’s an experience. Highly recommend for anyone who loves plants or wants to make their space greener!

Want to personalize this a bit based on your own visit or experience?

So much variety! This was my first time visiting Sloat Garden Center and I was amazed at how well kept all the plants were - they all looked really healthy. Tonnes of choice in trees, succulents, potted plants, indoor and outdoor plants and air plants. Super impressed and 10/10 would visit again.

Great local garden center. They have a huge selection of plants and the staff are very helpful. Their prices are in the higher-side, but what you would expect in San Francisco.

Love the house plants here. I have many of there plants in my living room. The selection is always vast, both in variety and sizes. I have come across some unusual plants here, and the quality is always tops. They carry all things potting, and the staff is friendly but not bothersome. The photos are Sloat plants that I have in my place.

Beautiful plants, and great selection. Very helpful staff. If you’re a member you can earn coupons for future use. Good place to buy gifts and items for children.

Good selection of plants, pots, soils, and seeds. Informative and friendly staff will answer your questions about growing and caring for your plants, and recommend products to help with it. There is a convenient parking lot just outside. However, the prices are sometimes a little steep, often you can find similar choices at home Depot or a plant nursery in the city. Convenient location for the sunset.

I love this place so much. I like going there after work to relax (Plant Happy Hour). Great variety of plants in a beautiful setting, nice and helpful staff, the selection of plants changes often, so if you like something, grab it! And right in the city.

** late post- visited 2/2020*** Nice variety of plants and materials. Succulent selection was on the smaller side but it was also early in the season. My only complaints were the staff were inattentive and seemed too busy or like there weren’t enough and overall their pricing was really really high. I understand this is SF and minimum wage and rent are higher but even for the city things seemed pricey. Just my opinion. Still a nice place and I’ll probably go back to browse
