She truly went above and beyond in helping me repot my plants, and I'm so grateful for her expertise. My plants were in desperate need of some TLC, and Anna not only saved them but also gave me some helpful tips to ensure they thrive. She really knows her stuff! She was friendly, but not overbearing (which I love! Hello, this is Boston), kind, and generous. She made the entire experience so enjoyable and stress-free. Anna was also fantastic with my daughter, taking the time to explain things about the root system in such a down-to-earth way. I could see she was inspiring a love of plants in her too, which was such a special touch. It's rare to come across someone who's not only knowledgeable but genuinely passionate and kind. I've been to this location before (about two years ago), and I also had a great experience with a blond guy who helped me then. He was excellent as well, and my plant that he helped me save is still thriving! The store itself is lovely--great ambiance, light, temperature, and atmosphere. It feels so peaceful. They carry a wide selection of plants and such fun, quirky products. Their employees never try to upsell or be pushy, but if you need help -- they help. While it may be a bit pricier than some other places, to me it's very much worth it for the quality of the plants, products, and the exceptional service. I will definitely be back.

Repotting prices ridiculous, 8" pot of single cactus $25. Took fewer than 5 mins, I get a little extra for the succulent soil but $15 more than a regular plant, no. The real issue with this store, as mentioned by others, is the employees who would appear to rather be doing anything than working here. Specifically those working in the repotting area and 'helping' on the floor. They're so unpleasant I'd have to think twice before dealing with them again

It was difficult to find plants that weren't damaged and in need of some serious TLC, although the prices were fairly decent for the Boston area. I would surely pay less locally, but I digress. Checking out was also a confusing process, and the store itself didn't feel very welcoming to customers as if the music was playing to make it seem like the employees couldn't talk. I probably wouldn't go here again unless I was looking for a cactus or succulent, and even then there's slim pickings.

This has that feel, you can almost get lost in the jumble of greenery and the whole place outside and in smells like the great outdoors. I mostly have to avoid the place because I literally cannot leave without buying a plant and I'm running out of surface area in my house. Ricky (I think it was Ricky) is that perfect mix of exasperated and extremely helpful that makes me love New England generally. The staff generally has that feel, they'll give you all kinds of ideas and advice without for a moment losing their frustration at your ineptitude. It's just a great little institution to get to know.

I came to Oak Hill lost on what to plant in my yard and frustrated by landscapers that were with astronomical or weren't plant experts (or both).

I shared pictures of my yard, she helped my devise what might go where and which plants needed certain environments....already she knew 100% more than me and the landscaper I had tried before. Not only did she visit my house to consult, she delivered to me and sent me all sorts of ideas and pictures. I am so grateful for her help- and so is my yard!! Highly recommend.

I was disappointed in the quality of the arrangement. The gift was delivered through Door Dash. Being Valentine's Day weekend, I knew that the shop would be busy. I waited until Monday afternoon to reach out to Micro Plant to let them know that the flowers were less than the quality I knew they were known for. Within 30 minutes of my reaching out, the owner, Julio contacted me. He assured me that quality is paramount to him. I was not asking for anything. I just wanted to let him know that between his shop and my house, something happened to my gift. He apologized profusely and wanted to make it right. A little after 7 this morning, Julio was at my front door with a gorgeous rose arrangement and an apology. I was surprised to say the least. Julio takes amazing pride in his work and it shows. By the way, I do not live in the city and his kind gesture meant a drive on the expressway during rush hour. I whole heartedly recommend Micro Plant Studios for your floral and unique gift needs. Beautiful gifts and an owner who goes so far beyond to make sure his customers are happy. I'm happy and can't thank Julio enough.

I ended up getting a beautiful plant for $25 that now munches on the fruit flies in my kitchen. The store staff is extremely knowledgeable about plants and how to care for them.

Violante Farms is a fabulous place but a little deceiving. When I pulled in, I assumed I was going…read moreto a farmstand. Yes a large farmstand. Once inside, it was more like a semi firearm, stand supermarket. Some items are grown on the farm some sourced from other farms and some just regular grocery items that you would find at any generic supermarket. The vegetables that were grown on this farm were all marked and were fabulous but they were very far and few between. they were selling some local farms goods which increased the options of locally grown. I did like the bread section some locally made in some generic.. they also have foods that are prepackaged. I like the items that were made at the farm. The others were just overpriced generic items. all in all I'd say about 40 to 50% is grown and produced, the rest are just basic generic grocery items with a higher price on them. The space is fabulous very refreshing and comfortable to walk around. the staff always seems nice, polite, and willing to answer questions. I definitely suggest that you stop in as it is a great place to shop. as for parking, they have a huge private parking lot and space outside to sit. They also have greenhouse plants for sale.
