For the 15 years I've lived in San Francisco and lots of shopping around, no one has beat Sloat on pricing, selection and help for my gardening needs in BOTH locations. Nearly all plants are presented with staff-written information about care and maintenance. And nearly all outdoor plants for sale are selected for their ability to do well locally, with remarks for those that may need more care than others. The staff there has always been helpful in my experience. While they don't rush about trying to sell to or pamper customers, it's never a problem or a task asking someone for help with questions and many of the shoppers there seem more than happy to add their gardening experience to help you if they overhear you. The grounds are well kept and organized... shade/part-shade/part-sun/full-sun as well as a huge selection of gorgeous indoor plants, supplies, pots, beneficial garden insects, environmentally sound pest-control, and even fun gardening kits aimed at child education Aside from supplies... they even offer classes and lectures on many gardening, plant care, soil, and animal/insect help/problem topics and have rotating deals year-round.
Pros: ample parking, selection, pricing
Cons: distance from city center
