You have to pay for your plants before moving from one section to another ( say herbs and the shrubs). The parking is really tricky on weekends and you have to be super careful when turning into the lot because you cross a bike lane. The only time it was manageable was when I visited on a 100 degree day.

Upon entering the outside area I saw many amazingly, well kept plants and flowers. Large selection to choose from and the time turned into a wonderful experience.

The prices felt expensive but having no plant knowledge I wasn't sure, but I also didn't walk in asking for price limits either. I had so much help picking out the perfect, easy to maintain plants. The staff ended up being the kindest, with extreme patience and All I came in asking for was something with very low maintenance.

I'm excited to return for planting season as a first time home owner with a backyard garden and shade perennial garden coming soon.

They didn't have the size that I wanted at first; however, they managed to get one for me in a couple of days after I asked. As for the prices, I'd say the plants here are affordable and/or reasonably priced. Hanan was super sweet, helpful, and knowledgeable. I adore her energy and enthusiasm. I love how she always greets everyone with such great energy when people walk in. I'll definitely stop by green spaces again from time to time despite the long commute.

This is a tiny shop, but it is PACKED with botanicals…read more The shopkeeper was friendly and quite knowledgeable, but he wasn't wearing a mask and this was a few days to a week before the mask mandate ended in Chicago (February 28, 2022) and I'm already a bit wary so I headed out. I'm not sure if that was on purpose or he didn't realize, but it was getting a little crowded in the store for me anyway so probably would have been ready to leave regardless. There are lots of plants, and my understanding is that not everything is on display since they're short on space in the main area of the shop. They have a nice collection of orchids, too; I actually considered getting one, but changed my mind. For some reason I think of them as being somewhat... difficult, or needing more attention (whether that's true or not I'm not sure), and I have enough responsibilities with the plants I already own (especially one of my calatheas that's being a bit of a drama queen at the moment!). I may have to try my hand at an orchid sometime, though. The aforementioned shopkeep gave me a huge boost of confidence that I could. In our discussion he mentioned the crucial point that orchids are just plants that flower more often than other botanical houseplants folks might keep, even though many green houseplants may flower under the right conditions. Once an orchid stops flowering, they're still plants without the flowers for you to care for. Food for thought! They also have a shop pet, which was a surprise! I don't like lizards, but luckily this one was in an enclosure. I was a bit startled, though, so be forewarned that the little guy is hanging out in his plexiglass home--he won't hurt you, since you won't be able to touch him, but I as I said, I was surprised! They don't have a huge collection of pots, but the plants all looked lovely and healthy. They have some popular favorites, but it also seemed they had some more unusual and harder to find plants. They have displays for live plant walls for which you can consult with them to install in your home or office, too, if you wish. Parking on this stretch of Damen is touch and go, and it's paid, so plan accordingly.

So I did a search and contacted about 10 different interior landscaping services. Lisa from Plants Inc. responded. She came to our space and we did a walk around and looked at the space, lighting, I gave her our ideas. She knew SO much about the plants, how they work in what spaces, and she had some very innovative ideas for where to put plants and how- which made her stand out from some of the other services who I talked to. She was very willing to work within our budget and make adjustments so we got what we wanted- within a price range. The proposal she created for us was also probably the easiest to understand. I appreciated that because I had to go through and explain each proposal to management. We have not decided which service we will go with yet, but Lisa at Plants Inc. did such a great job, she is in the top 3, and I would be very happy to continue working with her.

They stock the staples of good design. On the other side of the ledger there are antique stores, where there are always surprises, one-of-a-kinds and the smell of old wood. What's not to like? And then there's PRAHA: A rich collection of new and old, unusual pieces of decorative and architectural elements from Europe and the US, from dovetailed wooden boxes to large furniture pieces, linens and treasures of all types, jams, jellies and dip mixes, antique Shanghai Ladies posters, cottage style furnishings, lamps, trunks, European and domestic enamelware... on and on it goes... For me, PRAHA is like the proverbial candy store, and was elevated to Favorite Store status the first time I stepped inside. Much of the store's allure is the result of many shopping expeditions to Praha (Prague), where the owners purchased furniture and treasures as old as the hills, then shipped via crate back to the US. They trek to the best flea markets in the US. They keep their radar humming 24/7; a find is a find, no matter where it's discovered. But it's not just the merchandise. It's Todd and David, shopkeepers and proprietors. They love their store. They insist on expert craftsmanship in the new items they choose to sell, and enjoy musing on the secret history of their antiques. In chatting with Todd (for almost 2 hours on my first visit!) I discovered we share a love of old enamelware, antique tins, small boxes and interesting little containers. (Talk about a candy store!) Some acquisitions never make it to sale. One such item is an old coffee tin that Todd chose to keep for his own kitchen. It's not on display; it is used to store coffee, like it has been forever. He remarked how he always thinks about its mysterious history, the stories that could be told about the family in Praha who used it for generations. "Just think of it!" he said! There are stores filled with merchandise, clerks, and cashiers. And then there is PRAHA, filled with fabulous treasures, not the least of which are its shopkeepers, Todd and David. Czech it out!
