Pierce Street/Marina location: Looking to add tropical flair to your garden? Our Pierce Street location will soon receive Ensete ventricosum, the Abyssinian Banana, with huge lush green leaves that grow 10-20 feet long and 2-4 feet wide. This fast-growing tree reaches heights of 20 feet. Think of a tidy bird of Paradise!

Also arriving: Cyperus Papyrus, an excellent choice for an aquatic garden or corner of your yard that suffers from poor drainage. The flair comes in 6-10 foot stems topped by clusters of green thread-like filaments. A touch of the African waterfront!

Juncus effusus 'Gold Strike' and Juncus 'Carmans Japanese', two shoreline rushes that grow nearly worldwide, and bear slender bright green stems 18-24 inches high. Gold strike is marked by dramatic yellow striping. Use individual plants as architectural accents or plant multiple as a border for a clean formal appearance.

Sloat Blvd (San Francisco) location: Great fall blooming items for the weekend! Mums, asters and pansies for sun, also some beautiful fuchsias and ferns for a fall shade garden.

Mill Valley/East Blithedale location: Cannas, scarlet trumpet vines, Asclepias (a butterfly food/attractant for butterflies.. especially monarchs!), Chinese Pistache Trees, Evergreen Magnolia Trees, a great selection of Meyer Lemon Trees in all sizes, from 1 gallon to 25 gallon!

Danville location: a lovely selection of colorful and blooming water plants.
