Sometime over the past few years, I've turned into my parents. As a child, I remember accompanying…read moremy father to places that I'd deemed boring: places like home improvement stores and plant nurseries. But I recently realized that I am now that person who spends money on garden supplies. Maybe this is because I live in Berlin and I'm trying to get back in touch with my suburb roots. Or maybe since I fail at things like sewing and painting, gardening is my way of "creating" without screwing up (too much). Whatever it is, I find myself visiting Der Holländer more and more regularly. And while I am no expert on gardening centers, this one seems OK by my standards. It's true what some reviewers have said, that people working there aren't necessarily friendly... but they're not unfriendly either in my experience. The selection here is good, and there are some things like soils and pots and seeds that are available year-round. But when it comes to the plant offerings, it varies based on the season. Even though everything is rearranged each time I visit, that makes it interesting for me, because I see new stuff and find out what's changed. As for the prices, they're also reasonable. If you want to get a plant, or flowers, or whatever else, some things are expensive, but it's also easy to find something beautiful for not as much... this variety in offerings is nice. Hooray for urban gardening!

Hellweg Yorckstraße is hardware store, but I come here usually for plants. It offers many different…read morekind plants, from indoor plants, outdoor plants to water plants, lots of options for people who have different need. And they have every possible garden tools covered. The garden section took more than half of the store, it's really enjoyable to have a walk there. For plant lover like me, this is a great place to be. You can also find some stuff, like pet food, aquarium, small animals, wall paint colours, bathroom, kitchen and so on. Info center just around the corner if you need help. The staff are friendly and helpful. It offers great parking place as well.

I organised a dinner for 35 people, followed by a party for another 100 people. The place is…read moreamazing but the organisation of the event was extremely poor. The staff was very unfriendly and difficult to work with. The dinner was very poor: the starter was a delicious soup, but the main course was basically bread, chicken and some cold vegetables; there was no dessert. It felt more like a pic-nick, rather than a sit down dinner; most importantly, the food was not what we arranged previously in the contract. It was quite disappointing that none of the greens that is grown at infarm was offered to us in the menu. The dinner was over 50 euros per person, which is extremely over-priced for what we got. The party was expected to end at 2am, however the staff obliged us to leave at 1am. Again, quite disappointing. I do not recommend to organise a party at Infarm. This is a real pity because the location is truly amazing.

I have mixed feelings about Poco-Domäne. I first came here when we were remodeling our kitchen and…read morewas put off by the overwhelming red and yellow color scheme, which just screams "cheap." And let's not even get into the Daniela Katzenberger celebrity endorsement except to say that in her red and yellow get-up, she looks like a fast food employee... Anyway, we checked out some of their kitchens as comparisons, and they are OK looking, but didn't seem to be much better quality (or better price) than the kitchen we ended up ordering from IKEA. We also looked at the flooring and the selection was just alright. Nothing to write home about. That said, there are some great things you can get here, and for a pretty good price. We have bought some sheets here and are completely satisfied with the price and quality. But on the flipside, when we were looking at towels, they only had one brand on display that was not made out of great material, so that was disappointing. On the first level, it feels a bit like a Ross or a Marshall's (all you US folk know what I mean) with lots of small appliances and household accessories to choose from. So it's fair to say that you can make Poco a one-stop-shop type of place if you want. This location also recently underwent a remodel, so the escalators are gone in place of stairs. Lots of them. And a couple elevators too. I think this is a good thing...

Since I have been living here, I have read and heard so much about this place. Let's most of what i…read moreheard it wasn't so positive. Sometime I ever saw the tier commercial on telly, it seem like a cool place and yet I didn't pay a visit. Finally I found the right time and paid a visit. It was actually much better than I expected. First thing first, the price here is amazing. For people who has limited budget, this place is one of places should have a look at least. Well, most of the poeple think usually cheap stuff means no good design or poor quality. About the design, most of them were ok. I did find something were really nice and really cheap. What about the quality? That's one of the most important thing, when the topic about furniture. I didn't check all of their product, just some of them, such as wardrobes, tables and some other living room stuff. It seem ok to me. The thing is, I have been buy stuff from Ikea for years now. Even from the one of my favourite brand, thing still could go wrong. (A wooden turnable chair I bought from Ikea, it was broken after just 6 months used, and I don't think I am heavy enough to be the main cause), since then I think, when it is time be broken, no one can stop it. Even made of super everything. All have been said, I think this Poco market is smaller than I expected. Much smaller than Ikea and some other i have been. The arrangement inside the market is alright. It wasn't so difficult to get around. The other thing, I also found it a bit weird they only got one market in the city center. The rest of them kinda all far away from the center. At the end, I am happy that I finally visited Poco. It's quite famous here. It was quite nice experience. Although they didn't have any sample rooms like Ikea that can get inspiration from, they sure offer a good price for people who know what they want but only got limited budgets.
