Flowerland Nursery 1330 Solano Avenue, Albany, CA 94706

"I could not be a bigger fan of Flowerland. The combo of drinks, plants, pretty garden furniture and a curated gift shop is my slice of heaven. Take all my money! Carly, the owner, has such exquisite taste. And her long-time employees are talented and incredibly hard-working. This is a local gem and I intend to do my part to make sure they stay in business for a good long time. :)"

"A delightful plant shop. Their outdoor plants are healthy and good stock, although I find the space confusingly organized and hard to navigate. There's not a lot of signage and they move things around so you can't necessarily find things in the same place. (Some things are easy to find like veg and vines, but perennials tend to move around.) Their indoor plants are a mix. They are large, dramatic, and beautiful... but they often come home with scale or some other problem. Last time I was shopping I couldn't find a single indoor plant without a visible pest on it. So although they look good in the store, six months from now I'll probably have a sick plant."

"Amazing nursery. So many quality Christmas Trees! Love getting a coffee and enjoying the vibe. The staff are helpful and kind. I take my dog for a walk here all the time especially now with the seasonal spirit and Christmas magic! They have beautiful wreaths and such a convenient Christmas tree stand exchange program. For sure check it out!"

"Fairy kingdom approved - this is a magical forest-like gift shop where you are guaranteed to be in awe, and immersed by creations featuring mushrooms, butterflies, flowers, and rare plants. An organic display full of respect to life, past and now; and sustainable efforts throughout. Come here for a unique gift, or an eye opening experience reminding you about life’s upward energy and nature’s beauty."

"A beautiful jewel in the crown of the town of Albany (by the way, a great downtown to walk around in). I friend and I were out for a walk and couldn't just walk past this place. They have so many displays to feast one's eye's on. And they change their displays for the season--and they are season appropriate with their plants. Inside their building, they have many plants that are more appropriate indoors, seeds, tools, and items that are more valuable. Outside they have their outdoor displays, plants they you eat, starts, trees, and more. There is a coffee shop outside, but it was too late in the day for me. Even if you aren't a gardener, you will find beauty there. You can always just walk around and feast your eyes, and your nose (in some cases)."
