I have gone to Oakland Nursery on a number of occassions, and have always found their staff to be extremely knowledgeable and helpful. They are always able to answer my questions, and they always have the plants I am looking for. They are also one of the few nurseries to keep sod in stock.
My only complaint is that they need more registers. If you make the mistake on going on senior discount day, be prepared for a long (30+ minute) wait to check out.
