    BEAUTIFUL store in a great neighborhood. Today I went to lunch with some friends nearby and decided to go inside. There were many different types of plants and great options for pots. There are herbs and annuals in the front. If you're on a budget you can definitely find some small plants and nicer ones in the back if you're looking for something specific. Staff was knowledgeable about plant care and offered suggestions. Would definitely come again.

    Snake plant in city planter ceramic pot

    What an experience! I bought a large snake plant from a large home improvement store in Philadelphia and it lacked pzaz! That and a few leaves started to turn and I was not 100% certain how to best care for the plant as a new #plantmom. After my visit, not only did I find the most dreamy ceramic pot at city planter, the staff was super helpful. I wasn't sure if I should repot my plant,etc but I left with a lot of helpful advice. The sales associate trimmed my existing plant's dead leaves and helped staged my plant with styrofoam risers so it looks it's absolute best I'm the new pot. Can't wait for my next purchase.

    During my trip to Philly on Sunday, I found this cute plant shop and I was blown away. They really take advantage of the small space. There's plants in every corner of this place. One of the things I really appreciated was the barcode tags. They had the name of the plant, the type of light needed, and how much water is needed. That made my plant search much easier and answered all my questions. The staff was very friendly and greeted me at the door. They are still requiring masks and limiting capacity to 8 people in the store. There was someone at the front managing capacity. I felt very safe in "City Planter"

    I love plants. I stopped in this shop after a morning of apartment hunting and brunch. The staff was friendly. The plants are beautiful. I definitely be back.

    MY LATEST OBSESSION. I am an adult now, and like all my other cool adult friends we are now brimming with plant fever, not baby fever because we're not ready for those levels of commitment. PLANTS are the new training ground before you enter parenthood, planthood is just way more speed. Now Philly has some GUHREAT options for nurseries but CITY PLANTER, is the only plant store for me. I've loved every encounter with every plant consultant and they have graciously re-potted my plants in the most epically, aesthetically pleasing way. No re-potting fee?!?! Oh my lawd so generous, so kind. Prices are beyond fair, and these plants are healthy and happy. Succulents?! Ficus?! Terraniums?!?! Air plants?!?!! Zz plants?!?! Ferns?!?!? Cacti?!?!? You name it they got it, or they can get it!!! The lush assortment gets me everytime. LUSH LIFE. Take all my money.

    We ended up wandering in here after a lovely brunch down the street. Such a pretty little shop!! Loved the way the plants and products were laid out, so many perfect Instagram shots! Definitely a must visit if you want to add some life to your home/garden!

    My favorite plant shop in the city! An amazing selection of plants/potters and the staff are super helpful. I bought two beautiful planters that I had been eyeing for a month along with a Ficus Tineke and a Philodendron to go with (pics below). The planters were a bit pricy, but are fairly large, and the plants themselves were very reasonably priced. The staff helped me find the perfect plants for the planters, as well as my space/lighting, and potted them for free. She even loaded them in my car for me! I will definitely be coming back for more plants for our apartment. They have a ton of small succulents that are super cute and awesome terrariums. Love this place!

    I've shopped here in the past the store is great and filled with tons of unique plants / seeds you can't find at Home Depot.... HOWEVER my wife and I were standing near the door in the photo waiting to reserve a table at the restaurant next door & one of their rude , obnoxious & most importantly condescending employees said "move away from the door so our customers can come in " what customers ??? The store is closed to the public and all ordering is done by the window ( which we didn't stand in front of so guest can order ) . It's the lack of human decency for me !

    You can, and will want to get lost in this store. City Planter has the biggest and most beautiful selection of plants I have found in the city. The majority of the store is angled towards inside plants but during spring and summer they have more flats of plants for outdoor gardening. They have several different types of plants and a fun selection of pots and gifts too. Between the selection of plants, the gifts, the gardening supplies and the friendly staff it is very easy to loose track of time here. Their prices are reasonable and several of the plants I've bought here are not only healthy but thriving. So I always feel confident that I'm getting accurate care tips and advice. PS this store is also dog friendly-see my photo

    A great selection of plants!

    One of my FAVORITE places to get unique plants in the city. They always have a great selection of tropical houseplants and everyone who works there is friendly to talk plants with. I feel that they usually carry larger plants at a very fair price. I also follow their instagram so that I can stay up to date with any new shipments that come in. Can't wait to go back for more plants!

    See all

    I went there several times after that to pick up stuff and also went to one of their terrarium classes!

    In my misspent youth I've had an occasional need to visit shops such as this one. Now in my golden…read moreyears, tomatoes are an obsession. The northeast had a recent spring like few days and my thoughts turned to gardening. I was nearby anyway so decided to see if they had something to help me get my vegetable garden started inside. The owner was not in but his friendly and helpful assistant was able to reach him for some of the more boring and technical questions I had. I was able to get a few items that will allow me a head start this spring. When I went to check out I was told a few items were discounted for me. That was a very pleasant surprise! This shop seemed a bit small at first, but they do carry an excellent assortment of items that growers of all kinds of things would find useful. I'll likely be back for soil nutrients at some point. I hope to thank the owner if he is in when I do return. Of note, this seems to be the only grow shop open in my extended area on Saturday, a huge plus for the business.

    First off - there is a $30 fee to shop & browse the store; it's a membership fee but the only…read morebenefit of membership is to shop the store. After an hour drive, I agreed to the $30 so I could choose the items I wanted to purchase. Second - one of the items purchased had an expiration date which was 4 months ago. Another item had been updated by the manufacturer months previous. Unfortunately, I did not catch this until I got home. Now I need to make another hour drive back within 7 days. Third - I return to the store.., I get a refund for the expired product and swapped the fan for the newer model. This is a positive. However, I also had two other items to return/swap. I incorrectly purchased pH Down fluid when I really need the Up fluid. Refused to swap or return for credit. Claimed store policy; however, this is not stated on the store receipt. I will not be visiting this store; HTG in Prospect Park is much better.
