Mother is one of my favorite stores in the Cities; it's gorgeous & their selection is incredible. Walking in to the store, you're immediately immersed in a desert-y, plant-y paradise--this store is BEAUTIFUL. There's a little seating area at the back, which I want to copy-paste into my house.
There are tons of plants I've never heard of before, along with a nice mix of your standard fare. The selection of accessories (pots & saucers, spray bottles, supplements, potting mix, tools, incense, etc.) is fairly large, with everything they offer fitting the southwestern flare & vibe (aka they're really pretty, functional items).
Any time I've had questions on a specific plant, its care, etc., the staff have been super knowledgeable & helpful. My literal only complaint is that things are a bit pricey; this definitely isn't a Menard's-tier price point, but I'd say it's definitely worth it. You can tell that all of the plants are well cared for, you don't have to worry about bringing bugs home with your new baby :) read more
