As the rainy grip of winter begins to loosen its hold, it is time to welcome spring! With its longer days and warmer temperatures, spring brings new life to the Bay Area landscape, making it the perfect time to roll up your sleeves and dirty your hands in the garden. 

One of the most exciting things about the Bay Area is its relatively mild climate, making it the optimal place for successful spring gardening. Whether you are a seasoned gardener or a newcomer with a green thumb, the arrival of spring is the perfect time to try something new. Enjoy spring veggies like kale, carrots, and peas, and plant some strawberries for a fresh, sweet, treat!

If you are looking for somewhere to find the best plants to liven up your indoor and outdoor spaces for this spring, look now further! The Bay Area has some of the most beautiful plant shops and nurseries, and the Bay’s mellow climate helps them thrive wherever they are. Here are some of our favorite nurseries: 

  1. Clement Nursery, San Francisco: Located in San Francisco’s Richmond district, this is the oldest nursery in the city! After having served the community for over 80 years, Clement knows the best practices to create a fun and unique garden space. 
  2. Leafy, Palo Alto: Leafy has some of the most unique selections of indoor and outdoor plants, ivy, and succulents in the Bay Area. Visit their Palo Alto location to curate the best plantscapes to fit your office, home, or outdoor space with their exciting plant accessories. 
  3. SF Flower Mart: Though you might not be able to find many carrots and strawberries, SF Flower Mart is one of only five grower-owned wholesale flower markets in the U.S., and has some of the most reasonable prices for beautifully grown flowers in California. Walk through SoMa to find the market and enjoy the wonderful smells of spring!

… and so many more! Happy spring!!
