It was a lovely event to do with friends and then we all came home with a souvenir. Many thanks to Jude for helping us with our class - you were lovely and we appreciate your attention and guidance.

Portland nursery is the best place for anyone with a green thumb or looking to cultivate one!…read moreThey've got a huge selection of plants, and a ton of great staff available to help answer questions. What I especially appreciate at this location is their dedicated information kiosk, there's usually someone there that you can speak to about pretty much anything plant related, they're a great resource to help troubleshoot gardening issues. I also love that Portland nursery hosts different groups like the Oregon Cactus & Succulent Society throughout the year, where you can view & buy plants directly from the cultivator. Portland Nursery is fabulous all around, and I look forward to every trip!

The OG of plant nurseries in Portland. What makes it special is three things. First, the plant…read morestock is mainly grown in the Pacific Northwest. This isn't the place you go for the cheap stuff raised in warmer climates. Second is the service. They have helper booths, and you can throw anything at them and they either can answer or find someone who can answer. Confused about if a plant is the best for a shady spot or sunny spot - they can help. Finally, it's just a wonderful place to walk. Lots of native plants, lots of trees, and the spring selection of tomatoes and veggies is to die for. Yes, it's more expensive. Yes, worth it! And the added bonus is dogs are allowed.

I came in looking for a very specific size pot, and although the store didn't have what I needed, they sure had a nice selection of very beautiful pottery. I decided not to blow an entire paycheck on the three gazillion plants that I wanted to buy, but the clerk that was working was so much fun to talk to and he and I were working with a patron that had had several drinks before coming into the shop and was having a jolly old time shopping.I found the clerk to be incredibly knowledgeable and totally professional and anytime I need plants or plant supplies, you bet this is my first stop!

I used to be a sucker for those pretty plants at Lowe's. But somehow, the stuff from Xera keeps coming back year after year. Turns out they focus on plants that actually belong in our area. Who knew that was a thing? Fair warning - it's small and parking's a pain on weekends during spring and summer. But trust me, it's worth it. If you're tired of watching your garden die every year, give Xera a shot. Your green thumb might finally show up!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

They have a fresh flower stem bar to make an arrangement on site. They also do private events, such as weddings. I came in looking for flowers for a neighbor whose pet passed. The staff person working at the time did a great job, asking our budget and vision, and then creating a little white bouquet for the angel kitty. We got a vase for it to go in also. It was a lovely shop to browse while we waited for the bouquet to be made. I hope there are not more sympathy bouquets in my future but I wouldn't hesitate to visit Starflower for an arrangement for any reason again!

What a great little but mighty plant nursery in S.E. Portland Oregon…read more I used to live in this neighborhood and it has many hidden gems. Birds and Bees Nursery is one of them. I'm a member of Carnivorous Plants Society of Oregon and one of my things is finding places that sell Carnivorous Plants outside of the big box stores. Sure the big Home store has plenty of Venus Flytraps every year but it's a cruel thing to see a plant abused by employees who don't know how to care for such a plant. First of all this plant has 2. basic needs. 1. All the direct sunlight it can get. At least 12 hours a day. 2. Distilled Water or Rain water. To see this plant living inside the store on a shelf dries out is a difficult thing to see. If it is watered, Tap Water us what it's given. Tap water is a for sure slow death to a Venus Flytrap Plant. So in my search, I found a little nursery in the burbs. Next to a Taco Smell restaurant, full of all sorts of plants from vines to carnivorous plants. In my interest, they had Sundews, Picture Plants and a ton of Venus Flytraps all sitting in the full sun. I found what I thought was a good specimen and when I picked up and looked at the Venus Flytrap I wanted, I realized it was actually 3 small and one slightly larger Venus Flytrap plants in the same pot for (I'm pretty sure in right. I was so excited to find such an awesome plant that I kinda forgot and the receipt wasn't helpful.) $15.00. They're usually about $10.00 for a common Venus Flytrap plant. I basically bought 4 plants for $3.75 a piece. With such great prices, my wife found a couple plants she couldn't leave without. We both left Birds and Bees happy. Update on our plants. They're all thriving in their new home.

They were also very clear about the level of maintenance each plant requires, which I really appreciated. One especially helpful insight was learning about the cachepot system for potted plants--something I hadn't known about before but will make it much easier to keep my plants healthy long-term. The guidance felt thoughtful and practical rather than sales-driven. I left feeling confident in my choices and much better equipped to care for my plants. Highly recommend to anyone, whether you're new to houseplants or more experienced.

The prices seem on the high side, but the quality is high as well. Very helpful young person offered assistance.
