Hands down, this is my favorite greenhouse/garden center in the area…read more Yes, it's the off-season, so the stock was a little sparse but that was completely expected. We still scored great deals on Christmas items, including Twinkly brand Christmas lights (win) and pet-safe salt, which felt like one of those practical-but-satisfying finds. What really sets Esbenshade's apart is peak season. When spring and summer roll around, this place is unmatched. I buy all of my garden plants and flowers here, and I could easily spend hours just wandering, planning flower beds, and dreaming up layouts. The space is vibrant, colorful, and overflowing with healthy plants, and it's genuinely inspiring if you love gardening even a little bit. Even in the quieter months, Esbenshade's still feels welcoming and worth the stop. In season? It's absolute garden heaven.

Sue Hauenstein, daughter of the late J.H. Quentin Beisel, and her husband continue her father's legacy of growing and selling annuals. Excellent selection of many summer favorites. It seems many customers call ahead every year to get their selection. This business doesn't have either a website or a Facebook page, strictly word of mouth, offering excellent locally grown annuals for reasonable prices and quality.

As luck would have it, I was nearby for the City of Harrisburg's Ice & Fire Festival and realized the shop was only a short walk from the main festivities. I took that as a sign from the universe that I should probably stop in...and see about bringing home at least one new houseplant. #yolo I arrived around 1pm on a Saturday and found the shop well stocked, with the front door open and a welcoming sign on the sidewalk letting folks know the shop was open. Always a good sign when you're plant shopping. The moment I stepped inside, I loved the vibe. Crystals. Beautiful houseplants. Eclectic décor. Displays that were clearly mindfully curated instead of just being set up randomly. The shop felt welcoming, creative, and thoughtfully put together. I spent a good amount of time browsing...and browsing...and browsing some more. There were a lot of plants I wanted to bring home with me, but I also had to remind myself that my house only has so much room for plants. The prices felt reasonable, the plants looked incredibly healthy, and everything appeared to be very well cared for. The shop itself was bright, clean, and the owner was super pleasant. I had my eye on a Black ZZ plant for my collection, but I specifically wanted a smaller one so I could have the satisfaction of growing it from a baby plant into something bigger. There were a few Black ZZ plants in the shop, but they were all larger plants, which wasn't quite what I was looking for. I figured it was worth asking if there might be any smaller ones that I had missed. The owner said she didn't have any smaller ones available, but then immediately offered to split one of the larger plants and sell me a smaller portion on the spot. Talk about incredible customer service! She pulled out her supplies and did a mini repotting demonstration right there in the shop for me and a few other customers who happened to be there. It was honestly really cool watching my little plant baby be "born" into its own pot so I could take it home with me. I really appreciated her willingness to help me get exactly what I was looking for, and I was more than happy to support her small business in return. I couldn't be happier to check another wish-list plant off my list thanks to The Plant Witch. My houseplant collection appears to be entering a rapid growth phase...and I'm not entirely sure I'm in control anymore. I'll definitely be stopping back the next time I'm in the area. This shop has officially earned a spot on my regular rotation of places to visit when I'm in the mood to buy plants... which, if I'm being honest, is happening more and more often these days.
