I visited recently after a hiatus from owning plants after previously investing quite a lot of…read moremoney into plants that died very quickly, bought from another establishment that refused to answer my emails or help me after-the-fact (and which has since gone out of business.) I came in and was very upfront about wanting to spend a small amount for a nearly indestructable plant. The owner Jess was incredibly kind and patient despite making a minimal monetary transaction, and based on this interaction alone I will be returning for more plants down the line. The shop itself is quite twee and delightful, with a great selection of succulents and gifts that don't scream "you could get this stuff anywhere", which I appreciate.

Excellent plant shop that is also a chain in Philadelphia.

On Sundays they often invite local small businesses to share their space and promote their products. I've gotten delicious cookies from here on one of those days. I love the tarot reader that stops by from time to time, excellent cooperation idea. I do suggest you all to visit the south Philly location as well. Not sure why they don't have a yelp page of their own despite ppl trying to add it time and time again.

I really have to wonder if the people who talk about the great selection here have been to…read moreliterally any other store, anywhere? Their produce selection is abysmal. Do you need a pepper? No, you can only buy a pack of 6. Do you need a lemon? Again, you can only get a gigantic bag. Want some green beans or Brussels sprouts? They don't have them. How about some ginger root? Again, not carried. Do you need some body wash? It's all locked up, better get an associate! How about a card for a baby shower? You have the option of three. In the market for women's shoes? They have precisely ZERO. Their makeup/nail polish selection is satisfactory. There is a Starbucks on-site, which was thrilling upon my first visit. I got breakfast and a latte! But on my second visit, exactly one week to the minute later, I was told that the Starbucks didn't open until 8 am. Funny, because my friend and I were served at 7:25 the week before, and the website (photo included here) says you open at 7, too. Gotta love the consistency! (Not.) While the location is convenient, the selection is atrocious, the PPD officer stationed at the front door is a bit unnerving, they push everyone to self-checkout even when there are unoccupied employees available, and there's not even a guarantee that you can get a redeeming Starbucks beverage! I'm done. Never again.

Honestly cannot believe it was my first time here! What an amazing establishment in Philadelphia…read more The Resource Exchange is located inside of a large warehouse with maker spaces and other establishments. You can't miss the HUGE colorful mural on the outside in the parking lot, but the RE itself is on the right side. Conveniently located by a 3 bus stop as well. I was in the market for some postcards and other papercraft supplies and brought some scrapbook paper I knew I wouldn't use with me to donate as well. The staff was very nice and organized. After seeing the true breadth of all of the various materials sold at the RE, I will definitely bring more miscellaneous craft stuff with me to donate next time. Have to make room for new stuff! I was able to purchase some postcards (they were 50 cents each or 3 for $1), a container to hold some of my other materials, and a set of Dublin stickers, all for $15 flat. Cannot stress enough how AFFORDABLE stuff is. In general I would say go in to look around and not want anything too specific, especially on a busy day like a Saturday, because it was a bit crowded. But they had materials truly for all typees of crafts: fabric, knitting, sewing, painting, papercrafts, jewelry, woodworking... as well as larger materials. Really affordable and hope to get the word out about this place! There are two gender-neutral restrooms located in the lobby of the building as well as part of the shared space.

From the moment you walk into the showroom you're surrounded by opulent global textiles, gorgeous pieces of furniture from India, China and Italy, and eye popping floor coverings straight outta Turkey. My most coveted item in the entire world right now is the daybed with bunches and bunches of pillows. I imagine how decadent it would be to flop onto it after a long day of Yelping or curl up under a cozy throw blanket to write to my heart's content. Virginia Baltzell is a much-respected Interior Designer and can take care of everything your space needs, from window treatments to upholstery, staging and events. And she's very nice to boot. It's located in the same building as Area 919, so you can get your visual stimulation under one roof. I'm totally going to start saving my spare change so I can treat myself to something special from Baltzell.

Naturally, I thumbed through Yelp to find a shop that could help my with my problem. I found Petit Jardin En Ville, and raced to store looking for some emergency care. Two young ladies greeted me as I walked in. They both were kind and considerate with my issues. After a short discussion, they repotted my bamboo plant while providing me with steps to ensure I do not make the same mistake again.

Jill assisted us several times, stopping by our home and meeting us in the show room.

They had some terrific pottery, so we came back for a maker's market and got a gorgeous planter. My husband also got to get a second look at their Suzuki van, which he wishes he could drive. It's small enough to navigate the city's small alley streets and is adorable. Nice selection of houseplants, landscaping material, and pottery. They also play well with other local artisans and businesses.
