Hired on Thumbtack

Zinnia is fantastic. On her first 2 hour visit, she assessed the condition of every plant in my home (approx 20) and made clear recommendations for those that need attention and/or different care. She helped me repot several plants, showing me how to carefully loosen up those that were severely root bound and giving me helpful tips on soil, pot sizing, fertilizing and watering. She followed up with a detailed care plan in writing, and recommended next steps. She’s very patient, thorough, kind, and knowledgeable. I’m so glad to have found her! I’ll definitely be working with her again.

I am extremely pleased with the repotting service for my bird of paradise plant. The process was handled with great care and professionalism, ensuring the plant’s roots were treated delicately. The new potting arrangement looks beautiful and the plant seems to be thriving already. I highly recommend their services for anyone looking to give their plants the best care.

The Plant Nurse was great. She was able to assess the issues with our plant, get them repotted and followed-up with detailed care instructions. We are happy to have her as a resource for our plant babies.

Zinnia was amazing! so knowledgeable and willing to share that knowledge.. like knowing the best locations for different types of plants based on lighting needs.. She helped me figure out why some of my plants weren’t doing well and prescribed some things to do to bring them back to health. She did a great job with the plant care; shaping up a few and repotting 2 of them. She was able to propagate one plant I had into 3, which was cool.. may give one as a housewarming gift soon. very happy with her service and would recommend to anyone!

Bay Area Plant Nurse has been such a great help to me. I have roughly 30 plants and need regular help with pruning, periodic plant issues and annual repotting. Zinnia has helped me with each of these areas and my plants are happy, healthy, and beautiful in large part to her care, knowledge, and guidance. Highly recommend booking at least one session if you have any plant care needs.
