My favorite part of Down to Earth is the building. Not knowing the history of the building itself, it appears to have once been some sort of granary warehouse. All the chutes and various chambers are very intriguing, then you get into the wares the store offers. Very much in sync with the atmosphere of the building. It would seem that whatever hobby or craft you are into, they have some of what you need. They definitely have plants, containers and such covered. Next is the cookware, then canning supplies, storage containers, macrame, animal supplies, personal care... the list goes on. The neat part of it all is that it all feels so vintage yet new. A very holistic shopping experience. read more

What a great find this garden shop was! I could spend hours in here yet was on a schedule and able to spend an hour perusing the beautiful and eclectic merchandise including everything from plants, garden supplies to kitchenware, jewelry and cards. The prices were mostly reasonable which was a bonus. I purchased a beautiful windchime, a soaker hose and face mask. This will definitely be a stop next time I visit Eugene. read more

I was looking for a local garden nursery and found this one, which is more than that. Yes, I got my pellet natural lawn and shrub fertilizer (which they make themselves!), but first I had to check out the front section of the store, which is where you enter, straight into temptation. It's a vintage building that reminds me of a general store from a couple of generations ago: lots of unique home goods (think world market), garden implements, and cute items that will help you fulfill your gift lists year-round. The back part is the garden section, completely stocked with a large variety of fertilizers, soil amendments, and tools, where a friendly employee helped me figure out what kind of fertilizer to get, and kindly offered to add me to the email list, so I now get notice of their sales, coupons, and information on upcoming events and gardening advice. I didn't even get to the plant section that trip, which is in the back. I'm planning to hit up that section in the spring. Prices are decent but not cheap; the sales and coupons may help even things out a bit to help balance your lawn and garden budget. My last nursery in another city mistook me for a professional landscaper, I was there so often. So I'm trying to be good these days. Just one more plant... read more

Down To Earth - Their own lawn and garden fertilizer - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

I first visited Down To Earth because of Stephanie M's review. She says, "This is a very dangerous store." Let me just say, that is a very factual statement. I happily spend A LOT of money at this perfectly-curated home and garden store in Eugene. I love gardening, and given that my husband and I recently purchased a 100-year-old cottage in NE Portland, I need a lot of inspiration. There are plenty of great places to find home and garden goods in Portland, but Down to Earth seems to have their finger on the pulse of everything hot and new. I find all of my favorite things here like Fiesta pottery and cast iron cookware, but I'm incredibly grateful for being introduced to so many new products as well. I discovered Dani bath and candle products here. I was introduced to Salty Lama detergent strips ((I'm a HUGE fan)) and Renee's Garden Seeds here as well. The garden shop is a lovely space, full of the most beautiful flowers, herbs and vegetables. You'll also find beautiful hand-crafted pots and garden decor, as well as an impressive supply of bee-keeping supplies. Don't forget to look into their classes and workshops on a variety of topics, and to sign up for their informative newsletter. Make the most of this amazing resource, folks! Stores like Down to Earth are worth supporting. read more

My experience started walking into a warm greeting followed by excellent service. I was looking for a plant and a nice heavy ceramic pot. The staff helped me and when I say staff I'm being literal. Three different people helped me but most importantly they were helping each other. I was the recipient and it was awesome! All repotted and away I went. Highly recommend this local business. Thank you to all the wonderful staff today. read more

Stopped in to check out their indoor plants. Not only did they have a great selection but they also had a staffer who was just there to provide knowledge. All the plants were healthy and reasonably priced. My new go to for indoor plants. read more

No trip to Eugene is complete without a visit to Down to Earth. Between the kind staff, rustic building, and vast selection of plants and home improvement items, you really can't go wrong. This trip, I took home an aloe plant, some lavender soap, chocolates, a hanging basket (on sale for $10!) & some bee keeping equipment. Everyone here is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. I used to work at the bank across the street & would spend my lunch breaks here window shopping. Even when I wasn't spending money, I was always treated kindly. Their prices are hard to beat too! I truly can't say I've ever had a bad experience. Down to Earth is a local gem. read more

I went to Down To Earth today for the first time since moving here a year ago. The store is FULL of beautiful things....kitchenware, soap, candles, plants, garden items, wind chimes, on and on, etc etc. I found the most perfect stone buddha for my garden water fountain.... I had envisioned it and here it was! So thrilled with my purchase. And the staff clearly love their work. read more

Down To Earth - Fountain Buddha - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Super huge selection of home and garden items. Great place to find something for yourself or for a gift. I didn't need any employee assistance, but I did see a lot of them throughout the store helping others, so I would imagine if you needed help or had questions, employees would be a great resource. I especially enjoyed their selection of cards and stickers at very reasonable prices. Will definitely return! read more

Lovely plant and home goods store! I found a ton of great dish wear and kitchen stuff since I am moving soon and need some basic items. They have some higher end things but also affordable options as well. The cups and glasses/mason jars were a pretty good price. Soo much variety and options to choose from. Various shapes and sizes. Employees here are really helpful and kind, especially when it comes to plants and potting which is nice because I don't know much about that. read more

Always a great place to shop. Excellent employees and products. One of the few local stores that's still here in 2025. I'm still sad we lost the Willamette (south Eugene) location, but glad you're still there downtown. Support local businesses like Down to Earth. Great fertilizers, seeds, plants and other products for a natural home. read more

Dude, what a really wonderful building. It's like you took blueprints of a modern Earth-y home gift shop and garden center then planted (get it? planted? annnd I'm out) them in an old barn/mill type building with various shafts/columns/designs in it. End-to-end. If anything, I would say that the lighting in the west garden section is a bit drab compared to the rest, though. The staff was kind & friendly. My quest was pretty chill and just window-shopping the great array of goods & goodies but recently I've always been open to just awesome and snarky magnets for decorating all of my metallic surfaces at homes (the fridge is prime target #1). I found a few and happily applied these things to my fridge back home in Renton. read more

Probably my favorite shop in Eugene, Oregon. I love everything about this place. They have so many cool things, from plants to natural beauty products, stuff for kids, pets, gardeners, housewares, you name it they probably have it. The only con is there isn't enough parking, but if you go during the week it's much better. Plus a great coffee shop nearby as well as a couple other fun places. There is always someone available to help if needed, and good prices too! Also love their garden selection!! read more

super cute !! i got some post cards and they have really cute options and variations of items read more

Super knowledgeable and welcoming staff! Kayla helped me out with valuable knowledge on my first Pathos. They were super helpful and provided great information. Highly recommend this place! read more

Every time I walk in here I feel like i'm transported to my dream world. There's always something new I want to look at. I love their variety of plants indoors and outdoors, I got a giant monstera from here a couple years ago for $40 and it's produced so many babies for me to share. It was definitely my best deal i've ever scored. The employees are so knowledgeable and helpful, especially when it comes to gardening questions. read more

I always thought Down to Earth was simply a garden center, but I was surely wrong! While I admire others that garden beautiful blooms and grow their own food, I have whatever is the opposite of a green thumb, so it took me a long time to come to Down to Earth for the first time (due to the aforementioned assumption.) What a fantastic and GIANT place. It doesn't appear near as large as it is from the outside. You can find almost anything garden, home, kitchen and gift related here including some unique local items and nice jewelry. I didn't find the prices to be outrageous either. This will definitely be on my list for holidays and gift-giving occasions. I recommend you grab yourself a nice coffee or tea from Farmers Union across the parking lot and spend some time browsing! read more

This is a very dangerous store. A store that could potentially kill your monthly spending budget. Shop with caution and maybe with an accountability buddy who can remind you that you don't need ANOTHER rubber spatula. I am a passionate foodie who loves all things Kitchen-y and an aspiring green thumb so I just get lost within Down to Earth. Everything from your garden to dining table they got you covered. What I also love about Down to Earth is that they reach beyond a retail store and offer classes and workshops on a variety of topics including beginning seedling education to tea tastings. I highly recommend following their Instagram account so you are up to date on all these workshops. read more

This store is pricey but they have quality stuff and folks who know what they are selling. I returned a garden tool after a year because the prong head kept falling off and it was the must expensive garden tool I ever bought. It was the perfect thing for what I needed to I tried to fix it. This summer thought maybe Down To Earth will hear my plea and they did!! They were kind and let me replace it with another tool and gave me half off. I will go there again. read more

Pros: cool shop with a wide selection of home and garden stuff. I always get my seeds, baking pans, citrus grafting supplies, and fermentation jars/weights here. They are also my first stop shop when I want to assemble gift boxes for any of my baker or garden bro friends. Cons: sometimes the 6-packs of berries/flowers have had one cell barren; there is dirt but no plant so be sure to check the packs well particularly if the plants are bushy or are a bit tangled together. Also the past 2 times I've gone there the cashier (new cashiers each time) accidentally scanned single items multiple times and I only noticed once getting home and going over the receipt. In defense of one cashier she did realize the double scan and then went to scan again trying to take it off the total but it actually never worked and only added the item yet again. Either way it's not really worth heading back and trying to fix $9 worth of overcharges which would only lead to staff thinking I was trying to get free stickers/cards. I've accepted it as my own personal blonde tax for not paying attention and being too chatty while checking out. You know that whole fool me once, fool me twice saying. Summary: don't be a ditz like me, the store is lovely. read more

First I will say this is the first time I've visited this store. Neat store but the most unfriendly staff. Won't be back. !! Sorry, but first impressions are huge. read more

What a great store! There's absolutely something for everyone here. So enjoyed the vast display of unique kitchen, bath, garden, and housewares items all under one roof and beautifully displayed. My head was spinning, so, so many choices. I saw the most beautiful tea/ coffee mugs that felt so good in my hands . I saw Oregon made lotion and soaps that smelled delicious. I saw colorful lawn ornaments, that were tempting to go home with me. And a huge assortment of bulk bird seed, who knew that was even available here! Wonder of wonders, next time I need a gift and am in town, this is where you'll find me! Major bonus....There's ample parking in the adjacent lot, too. read more

I want everything I own to be from here. The whole place is just stacked with the cutest home goods and plant necessities (and plants!). The workers are so kind and the vibes in there are just perfect. So relaxing! Definitely check it out! read more

i could get lost in this place and the employees would have to make sure i'm not hiding in a corner before they shut off the lights and lock the doors every evening. there's something for everyone here--kitchen, bath, garden, etc. and the thing that probably works best in their favor is that the items are displayed in such a visually appealing way! the prices are all quite reasonable and you'd be hard pressed to walk in here without not making a purchase. it's a good thing i don't live closer because i think i'd find any and every excuse to go there. as it is, now that i know about down to earth, i'll be back the next time i'm in town because it's a nice place to look for gifts as well as to get everyday items you may be in need of. read more

I love Down to Earth! This is my go-to shop for a quick housewarming, thank you, or thinking-of-you gift. I love that they rotate seeds and plants so that whatever you purchase is in season and ready for the garden. They are well-stocked with soil amendments, organic fertilizers, natural insect control, etc. The plants I have bought from there are always happy. My husband knows that if he just buys me a gift certificate to Down to Earth for any occasion, I'll be happy. read more

Down To Earth - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

I have loved this store from the minute I set foot in it in 1995, when I first moved to Oregon, beautiful green Oregon, from brown and not so pretty, yucky Yuma Arizona. This is a great store. I think it really inspired me to garden. Over the years I bought bulbs here, ladybugs, gardening tools, gifts, fiestaware, greeting cards... I like it. I still go back when I can just to see what's new. Parking is usually a little tight, you can park on the street.. there are plenty of other cool things in the area to do, too, might as well spend an hour or two milling around here. read more

Down To Earth is probably my favorite store in Eugene. I just went to the Willamette location today and found they're smaller that the main store, but carry the same great products, just a smaller selection. But, the store is laid out beautifully, and the staff are so friendly and helpful. I bought a couple dozen paperwhites to force this fall/winter and got some very inexpensive (under $2.00) bamboo and glass containers to put them in. What a great, yet inexpensive gift to give someone this fall and perhaps for the Holidays. Eugene should be dancing a happy dance that this particular store is in town. If Portland had this same store, I'd be there every week or probably try to get a part time job there. Amazing, amazing store! read more

Great location and helpful staff! Soy candles, gardening supplies, kitchen supplies, and natural gifts. Local and artisan. Kudos for the employee only covered bike shed that was full of bikes when I went there, so eco-friendly business to boot. Near is Morning Glory for vegan breakfast or baked goods Smith's Books for good reads. Down to Earth is another Eugene local business that gets my vote! read more

If I lived in Eugene, I'd be here all the time. What a shop. Wow. As it happened, I was in town visiting a friend and she suggested we stop in. Near the entrance, they had some alpaca and wool outerwear items on sale. I scored an awesome printed wool hat complete with a polyester interior (no more itchy hat! yay!) for only $15. Like the store name indicates, they have a wide selection of unique products for your kitchen/bathroom and garden. They seem to have a strong focus on natural products, which is great. I was confused for a moment when a bag wasn't offered for my hat. Alas, I didn't realize it was because I was already holding a bag from another nearby place. Such a responsible mentality. read more

Such a fun place with amazing prices. They have some of the best prices on plants and pots! I'll always come here for my home needs before going elsewhere! read more

This store is one of the reasons I love Eugene. Even after I moved away from Eugene, I stopped here every time I visited. It's the reason shopping locally works. You can get things for your garden, gifts, stuff to can at home, and kitchen supplies. You name it, they've got it. If you're into Fiestaware, you can join their club and get discounts. If you want to really "get" Eugene and the people there, visit Down to Earth. It says it all. read more

This is a really cool place, although it is a little pricey, So bring some extra money.

Walked In with my daughter with both of us wearing masks, mouths and noses covered. The lady whose sole job it it to hand out masks told me that my mask needed to be fully coverMing the bridge of my nose. I pulled my mask up as far as it would go as she followed my daughter and I through the store liters yelling about my mask not being high enough on my nose. Ridiculous. My family will never shop here again after 15+ years of being loyal customers. read more

I absolutely love Down to Earth so much! Every time I go there I can't help but buy a plant. It's super good pricing and the staff are always nice. I got a pink lady peperomia for only $3! And got a full size peperomia for only $6!!!!! I love Down to Earth and would recommend everyone to go at least check them out! read more

My girlfriend and I go here like twice a week. Awesome selection of plants, nice staff, and my go to spot for kitchen ware. They also have ton of eco friendly products for kitchen, bathroom, all around the house really. Great place! read more

I love Down To Earth! They have the best selection of gifts and household items (as well as a garden center) in the Eugene area! Their prices are reasonable and I always make sure to give myself time to peruse the variety of kitchen items they have. Looking for a birthday or holiday present? This place has a great selection! They have everything ranging from beeswax candles, fiesta-ware, books, children's gifts, locally made jewelry, terrariums, kitchen knives, lotions, dish towels, tea accessories, a huge garden/plant section and so much more! They do have a small free parking lot in between their building and Mountain Rose Herbs but I think there is also street parking if it happens to fill up. If you're in Eugene or a local that has yet to go here then make sure to check it out! read more

I just don't "feel" Down to Earth the way other Eugenians seem to. Granted, I've purchased my share of tea cups, debbie meyer green bags, vases and bulbs here, and I like that they offer a lot of organic products. However, ultimately, organic is NOT better for the environment, economy, etc when most of your products are "Made in China". And they ARE at Down to Earth. Ultimately, I feel a bit like other locals get so caught up in the earthy feel of this place that they overlook the fact that this store does NOT offer much local or even American made stuff. And why shop locally if all the products are from China? read more

I love wandering around Down to Earth in search of household items I don't need/didn't even know existed prior to finding it on the store's shelves. Mason jar soap dispensers? Miniature ceramic salt cellars? Colored (recycled) glass tea jugs? Terra cotta bread warmers? They all come in an appealing variety of shapes, sizes and colors, to complement your household and aesthetic. In addition to being cozy, practical and twee (but not annoyingly so!), Down to Earth also offers friendly customer service, and an expansive selection of home and gardening supplies, plus local gifts. In the spring and summer, I buy my plant starts (lettuce, kale, peas, beans and herbs) here, and in the fall and winter, I enjoy browsing the store for holiday cards, festive kitchen gadgets, soy candles, cozy knit wool gloves, and other local artisanal products. I also like that you can get homeopathic and eco-friendly products for reasonable prices. The bulk section (featuring dried lavender buds, sea salt, loose leaf tea, hand-milled soap, etc.) is a great place to gather supplies/inspiration to get crafty. I've crafted holiday gifts of scented bath salts, soaps, lotions and potpourri mixes from this section for family and friends, and the products are always well-received, high-quality, and inexpensive to boot. Mostly, I have to stop myself from running to Down to Earth every time someone's birthday appears on the horizon, and ask myself, "Does so-and-so really want a hummingbird feeder/cassis-hued butter dish/beeswax lip gloss? Or do you just want an excuse to peruse Down to Earth?" But I usually end up there anyway, because it never hurts to look. :) read more
