I cannot say enough good things about Fertile Garden Center! From the moment I walked in, the staff…read morewere incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, exactly what you want when you're trying to figure out the right plants for your space. Darrel in particular went above and beyond. I was looking for flowers and plants for my balcony, and he took the time to walk me through everything: which plants would be safe for my dog (non-toxic was a must!), what would actually thrive given my balcony's sun exposure, and which options would be low-maintenance when it comes to bugs. It honestly felt like a mini plant class, and I left feeling so much more confident about what I was buying. On top of that, I brought in my orchid that I genuinely thought was a goner. Darrel and the team took a look at it that same day and managed to revive it! I was shocked and so grateful. After years of buying plants from the big box stores, I'm never going back. Fertile Garden Center actually cares about helping you succeed with your plants, not just making a sale. Highly recommend, and I'll definitely be coming back. And the speak Spanish!!

I fell in love with this store and wish I had more time to look around and shop.

I definitely saw three plants that I wanted. Trying not to buy any new plants until I move. All in all, super cute place. They even have workshops. I will be back to this shop soon as I have at least three plants that need new pots. Check this place out.

I really like this plant shop! It is right across the place from where I bought my bike. When I…read morebought it last year I think that the owner of this shop was having a pop-up in the back lot of the bike shop, but I didn't get a chance to look at the plants. I had to take my bike in so I got a chance to visit the shop, finally! First, the facade. It's amazing. This is definitely one of the most eye-catching shops in the city. When I got there just after the opening hour it was still closed, but luckily it was open by the time I finished up at the bike shop so I was able to go in. When I wandered in there actually wasn't anyone in the shop--I didn't realize that until the shopperson (the owner, I think?) came in. The dog needed a walk around but I was wandering around and didn't need any help at the time anyway! They had some really nice plants. I tend to like my plants a bit smaller, not only because they're a bit cheaper but because I like to see them grow. I did leave with some potting soil, and an air plant and pot. I haven't ever had an air plant (hopefully I'll be able to keep this one healthy), but they explained to me how to care for it (twice, since I was nervous) so I think it will be nice in my office. I actually decided to get it because I saw some adorable tiny pots (I'm not sure why I have a thing for owls, but I do!) and wanted something to put in it, but none of my plants are small enough and they would grow too quickly anyway. So the air pot works perfectly. I wish I knew how to make a cutting of a plant so I could bring one for the Take a Cutting, Leave a Cutting wall. I'm not sure if I can learn (confidently) overnight. :'( I need to return tomorrow to pick up my bike so I plan to stop in and pick up another air plant and adorable owl pot for my bedroom as well. Really appreciated the friendliness and helpful of both the folks who helped me whilst I was in the shop.
