RICHMOND — Annie’s Annuals & Perennials, one of the East Bay’s go-to nursery and garden supply stores, abruptly closed Thursday, owners announced in a notice published to the business website.

For the past 30 years, Annie’s Annuals & Perennials, located at 740 Market Ave., has been serving the Bay Area’s plant lovers, offering one of the largest selections of native Californian flowers, drought-resistant plants and a wide variety of other greenery already hardened to the elements, thanks to the nursery’s “old-fashioned” approach to growing — starting most plants out as seeds.
