The crew in Bedding works hard to provide imaginative color themed displays to help you find your style and achieve the look you desire. The hanging baskets are all made in shop and will knock your socks off. As you enter the Nursery from San Pablo Avenue you will find wonderful seasonal displays suggesting plant and color combinations you can use in your garden. Our displays feature current trends and good old tried and true styles. As you begin walking through the Nursery you will notice the information we provide about our plants is completely unique to EBN. We have built a sign data base which currently includes over 8500 different plants, varieties, and cultivars. The information has been customized and tailored to our Bay Area climate to improve the success of your garden. Our integrated labeling system insures that when you get your nursery plants home you have, on the containers, the exact information that was provided on the signs. Many of our customers save these labels in a notebook for future reference.
