I like how they prep it and put it with water in a vase. Such a great look at my high-rise. I love it.! The customer service again is top-notch. Sydney was the best. The space they have here is one of the most peaceful nice places you'll ever visit. The energy here is good and real! I'm gonna make this one of my go to places to get flowers, and things of that nature. The easiest five star review I've done in a long time!

I also got a vermiculite potting mix for my Chelsea Hoya. He gave me a great tip to slowly increase the size of my pot when I repot each year (I wanted to make a big jump, but that could shock the plant and not give it time to adjust). I didn't buy any plants this visit, but when I need a new plant, will stop here first.

I cannot say enough good things about this place!…read more I have a black thumb, meaning I kill every plant type thing, just by being in the vicinity. Maybe I look at them the wrong way? Either way, plants don't like me. Much to my sadness! I received a peace lily when my aunt passed and for many sentimental reasons I am dead set on keeping this one alive. It's been hard, and I've tried everything mentioned online- changing the location, repotting, giving water daily, giving water once a week, etc. Nothing worked! Finally a friend mentioned this place, and how you can take your plants there, and they'll provide TLC and I figured what the heck! But TLC is the bare minimum, they do so much more! They drilled a hole into my pot for better drainage, changed the soil, added fertilizer, and some rocks on top for better protection. I feel like now I have a fighting chance for my plant. I didn't even know this was a service that any place provided. I felt so looked after and taken care of. Everyone here is so kind to boot, and it's a beautiful nursery with so much parking. Love love love!

I spotted some Silver Falls for around $2.50, which wasn't a bad deal, though most of the plants tend to be on the higher end. Still, the quality and atmosphere are hard to beat.

Right next to Tiny Boxwoods and Tiny's Milk and Cookies, so it's perfect for a relaxing browse before grabbing a treat or lunch. Great stop for a little inspiration (and maybe a splurge!).

Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. From the time my friend and I arrived, we did not feel welcomed. The interactions with the owner left us feeling uncomfortable, and the overall atmosphere made it seem as though we weren't wanted there. We stayed, participated in the event, and each made purchases despite how we felt. After I got home, I discovered that the shop had blocked me on Instagram, even though I had been nothing but polite during my visit. That left me confused and made an already disappointing experience feel even more personal. I reached out privately before writing this review because I wanted to give the business an opportunity to address my concerns. I explained that I had recently lost my son and had come to the shop specifically to find a plant for his memorial shelf. I also shared that I chose this shop because I wanted that purchase to come from a place that felt meaningful. While my loss was acknowledged, the response I received felt focused on policy rather than genuinely addressing my experience or the concerns I raised. I understand businesses have return policies, but kindness, accountability, and customer service matter too. I truly wanted this to be a positive experience, and I'm saddened that it wasn't. I hope this feedback encourages the business to reflect on how customers are made to feel, because that can leave a lasting impression long after a purchase is made.
