San Francisco Sloat Gardens
Located in the Sunset district near the San Francisco Zoo , Sloat Gardens and nursery has been in business for over 50 years. Originally located where the GET Department store had their shopping site which is now know as Lakeshore Plaza , Sloat Gardens moved only few blocks away at 45th Avenue and Sloat Boulevard.
They are the premier gardens and nursery in not only San Francisco but Northern California. They have many other locations to include Danville, San Rafael, Mill Valley and more.
They have dedicated and licensed trained professionals on hand to meet all of your garden needs. Ask them anything garden related and they have the answers. They conduct seminars and offer educational programs for the gardeners in all of us. It is a local family owned business and as a result they cater to their customers.
They have an outdoor showroom as well as an indoor store. They are famous for their ethnic pottery which comes from all over the world to include Malaysia and many other locations. They host an extensive collection of all types of plants, flowers, vegetable gardens and herb gardens. Their prices are amazing. They are extremely inexpensive in comparison to anywhere else I’ve seen. I have to say that if you are ever in the market for plants, flowers or pottery, do not go to a local florist. Get out to Sloat Gardens. Inside their store they also have books, cards, gift items and anything you would need for your garden.
Sloat Gardens also can help you with designing and maintaining your own garden projects. Their staff is friendly, knowledgeable and knows their stuff. This is also a great little spot to visit and take in all the natural beauty around you. If you are a tourist visiting the SF Zoo you can also take a short walk to Ocean Beach then over to the gardens for a short stroll. It is well worth your visit. And, remember all you locals out there this is THE place for all of your gardening needs.
