The Watershed Nursery Cooperative

Professional and tidy nursery. A wonderful space to shop with tons of variety of many different plants for all kinds of climates. Sale plants were clearly marked, dormant plants labeled, and individual pots have ID, as well as larger signs giving more info about the species. They recycle intact pots and offer discounts for new buyers. A really lovely place to visit, extremely well organized!

This is one of my go-to nurseries for California Native Plants. They are so well-organized and frequently update their inventory. All the staff are helpful, knowledgeable and passionate about CA native plants. I recently purchased 131 red fescue grasses from this nursery for my garden and the plants are performing so well in the landscape. See photos for before and after. We are so fortunate to have this nursery in the Bay Area. I say this as both an avid gardener and a professional Licensed Landscape Architect.

Haven’t been this impressed with plant quality at a nursery in a while. The containers they use make a huge difference. I went yesterday (late December) and the plants were looking excellent. They also have a wide variety to choose from, including species specifically suited for restoration projects, which the nursery also offers as a service. The signs above each section are beautiful and give a lot of info about sun exposure and water requirements based on location, much more info than other nurseries. It’s way beyond the simple full sun/part shade/full shade categorization.

Wonderful place for California natives. I love how everything is divided by environment, versus plant type. I've had great success with plants here - including milkweed. The staff is extremely friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Great nursery.

Well-organized and great selection of plants. Staff are knowledgeable, friendly, and spirited. I love this nursery!

Friendly, knowledgeable staff who also advise if you need help with choices. Ample selection of California native plants and shrubs. Good prices too. Great place to purchase native plants and see caterpillars!

They do a fantastic job with small inventory but decent variety and strict adherence to native plants. Extremely personable/helpful and a must to check out in Northern California if looking for uncommon California Native perennials.

I went to the nursery for the first time today, and it just made my day! The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Aaron was especially very helpful. He gave a tour and showed how the plants are grouped based on their environment. He gave great suggestion and very knowledgeable. I went checking every isle, felt like a kid in a candy store, lol. I just started my California garden and this place definitely is my new favorite place!!! So glad I made it to the nursery today :-) Oh, prices are also GOOD. Highly suggest to check out this weekend. There's a 15% Pollinators discount going on,

Awesome nursery for native plants. The most helpful staff of any nursery I’ve visited so far in the East Bay! They even sent me home with helpful planting guides. Thanks guys :)

This is the best Nursery in the East Bay. All their plants are pesticide free and it’s fun to look around at all the wonderful native species. Parking was tight, but the prices were right. We love to get milkweed for the caterpillars and they always have them in stock. The employees were very helpful. No stress.
