Reviews
"It's like getting into a treasure room. Jocelyn's (the owner) goal is and always was to have a free store, but she needs to pay the store's rent so she does plant sales. I don't know anybody more knowledgeable about plants than her, I got mine from her ages ago and they're thriving. Free UP is open only on Sundays now from 12pm to 3pm. Definitely one of my favorite places."
"This is SUCH an amazing shop and concept! Ive been coming to Free Oakland Up since the beginning and it is a treasure. I read a review from last weekend and need to respond as the woman and her partner both left bad reviews and I was there when their *bad* experience happened and saw what really went down. The woman and her partner took advantage of the free offerings, bought one plant, and when they over watered it (and killed it) - brought it back to return. The owner is an amazing horticultural expert. She offers exceptional items for free and sells plants as fundraisers to keep her free shop going. Please support her efforts to create a free economy by donating and enjoying the experience of finding treasures here - no purchase necessary! I swear every time I go there I hear someone say - I was looking for something just like this! It's a magical spot and full of beautiful, special plants. Not a spot to be missed!!"
"Had a couple bad interactions with the owner of this place. She sold us a succulent that died shortly after we brought it home, after following her directions for care. She was very rude and arrogant when we tried to return the succulent. The "fund raiser" she advertises constantly is to support her own store. Shady AF."
"This is a very different kind of store. The first item is free. They are open on Sundays: noon to three. I went there yesterday and the items available to take were on the outside of the building. There were plants on sale inside the building. Jocelyn, the owner, said I could go in and in tothe plant area. There was a nice display of plants. I ended up getting a bouquet/cluster of air plants. She had some that were flowering, and her assistant showed me where my plant was getting ready to flower, and how to take care of it. This is a fun place to check out. I will definitely come here again."
