Congratulations to our Annex Floral Department for winning the Best of El Cerrito 2025 Award for Best Flower Shop!
Our Floral Manager, Jenny Barret, grew up in San Jose in an active family. She was a gymnast, swimmer and horseback rider, explorer of the South Bay and Santa Cruz Mountains. She went to UC Berkeley for Conservation Studies with an interest in Global Studies and Food Issues and was on the gymnastics team.
She moved to the Slide Ranch Marin Coastal Environmental Education Center where she was a teacher, gardener & cook. She worked for Steve Jobs as a Gardener/Cook/Florist and was a Floral Designer for Skywalker Ranch. She spent 20 years in West Marin, doing B&B work, raising two fabulous kiddos, then back to Berkeley for their high school.
Jenny worked as an Independent Fiber Artist and doing small floral design contracts before coming to the Natural Grocery Company to open the Floral Department at The Annex in 2014.
She chooses the flowers and bouquets we carry in our grocery stores but for a larger selection along with plants, arrangements, cards and gifts, visit The Annex, 10387 San Pablo Ave, El Cerrito.
