Plant Material - Glassell Park

L C a year ago

Nice spot reasonably priced had stuff others did not have in a pretty big radius. Helpful and brought plants to my car thank you and had a good suggestion so we purchased another plant. I only went for Yerba Buena clinopodium douglassi satureja as they’re the only store in a 50-100 mile radius that has it available. I also purchased another plant with delivery date 10+ days out as of today and they had it there so purchased locally. Wish I would have waited now I have to deal with a return. They also had Desert Globemallow and other plants unavailable elsewhere. Thanks again!

Both this location and the one on Rowena are stellar. They have a great selection of California natives, are generous with their advice, and are just lovely humans. I have spent far too much of my money with Plant Material, and wouldn’t change it for the world.

Almost five years ago now I came here and with the help of the owner picked out an entire native + climate appropriate plant garden for my house. 5 years later the plants are all living their best life in a garden not far from the Plant Material nursery. To my knowledge there isn’t anywhere else in the immediate neighborhood you could do that. Call it patchwork ecology, call it pollinator pathways, call it what you like: there’s an opportunity for folx in our community to support California’s biodiversity and water goals and here is a one stop shop.

Buyer beware. I went to what I thought was a really cute little nursery today. They specialized in California natives. I saw a Staghorn fern that I so wanted. Priced really reasonable at $11.00. So I got it and also grabbed a Ceanothus for $12.00. I took the plants up to pay and was busy talking to my daughter. The lady rang them up and asked if I wanted a printed receipt. I said no and she gave me my credit card. I just got home and looked at the charge on my phone. Some how a purchase of $23.00 turned into a charge of $35.04. Taxes aren't that much in Glassell Park! Also got the plants home and noticed that the fern is infested with scales. They're not fern spores. The nursery is 45 mins away from me. And the store is already closed. I need to keep alert when buying stuff. But wanted to leave a review to make sure you know what your getting before leaving. Update: once the owners found out the plant I bought had a scale infestation, they gave me a refund a couple days later. The nursery is nice with a good selection of natuved. Just look closely at what you plan to buy.

Absolutely love this unassuming plant store that’s so much more than just a place to buy plants. Amazing staff that were so patient with us in our indecision. Great selection of tools for gardeners and plant-lovers. Serene and calming. This will be on our regular rotation of places to shop now.
