Ruby’s Garden is a Shop Local Gem

Ruby's Garden on Telelgraph Ave in Oakland, CAThey say, a picture is worth a thousand words. Well that might be true. And we certainly think this picture captures the essence of Ruby’s Garden. But based upon our experience, Ruby’s deserves no less than 10,000 words of local love. But sadly, we only have room for about 300 of those.

Our lead photo features Arwen, an energetic and perfectly charming eighteen year-old staff member. Then there’s Lucia, one of the managers. We think she has a heart of Ruby! Finally, there’s the Ruby’s customer and HUGE fan. “I love Ruby’s,” she proudly proclaimed as she was walking out the door. Then we “dragged” her back in to pose for this photo. Too funny.

Ruby's Garden In Oakland CAWell, we adore Ruby’s too. How can you not with that dynamic duo and all the cool stuff that they have for kids? It’s one-stop shopping in a warm family hug. They’ve got an extensive collection of new and intriguing clothes and shoe brands. Also, they have a lovingly curated gently-used assortment. And Ruby’s carry books, toys, games, and other kid accessories.

So, lounge around on the massive comfy sofa and hang with the Ruby’s community. Bring the kids for Story Time events and activities every other Sunday.

Yep Ruby’s Garden is a Shop Local Gem.

A confession. I am a terrible gift giver. Atrocious really. But it's not that I buy awful gifts. It's that I can never get it together to go out and buy them in the first place. Sadly, I can't even get the chore done for my beautiful nieces much less the rest of the...
