I couldn't be happier with their service, a true gem.

It was a difficult job, requiring extensive soil tilling and old root grinding beforehand. The preparation was thorough, and the planting process was well executed. Quite impressive.

It is hard to work with now in adding shrubs and flowers. All in all, the trees look majestic.

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.

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 reached the end of the summer and since I hadn't heard back I just emailed to cancel. Didn't hear back from that email either. If you can get him to communicate well, probably worth it but I was a little bummed about being ghosted.
