    This is a plant parent's dream. Give me all the plants and home accessories here! Ravenna Gardens is always a stop for me whenever I'm at U-Village, as the store features many different plants, along with gardening accessories and home décor. The staff is very knowledgeable about the different plants here, and are happy to provide assistance, tips and advice on planting greenery around your space. There were also many different kinds of plants, some for the outdoors and a variety of indoor plants. I love tropical plants, which they had a ton of here. In addition to plants, there were many planting tools and accessories, from pots, books, soil, etc. I also enjoyed browsing through the home accessories here, with the layout of the plants throughout the store. It was nice, giving you an idea of how to style the different plants around your own space. I recommend visiting Ravenna Gardens if you love plants or in need of some greenery.

    Very cute plant store! They have a large variety of pots of different designs and around a third had a drainage hole and plate. There were also a lot of different home garden and indoor home plants. The atmosphere was bright and decorative, and staff were very knowledgeable and helpful with tips on taking care of the plants. Definitely check it out if you're looking for some plants!

    Plant was repotted using a potting soil from Ravenna Gardens -  definitely had gnat eggs laid in the soil.

    I have purchased houseplants from Ravenna Gardens twice and both times, they led to my whole houseplant collection (and home) being infested with fungus gnats. A few plants with a couple of gnats flying around usually isn't too much of a hassle for me to handle (albeit extremely annoying), but I recently bought a bag of potting soil from Ravenna Gardens that was absolutely filled with fungus gnats - it was extremely disgusting to open the bag and have dozens of fungal gnats swarm out. I tried calling the store about this issue and while they did try to offer me a new bag of potting soil (which I refused, given the borderline traumatizing experience from the last bag), overall I felt that the representative I spoke to was rather dismissive of my genuine attempt to give them some feedback about the pest management of their store, saying things like "Seattle just gets a lot of fungus gnats in the cooler months", "fungus gnats don't actually cause damage to plants", "getting fungus gnats is just part of having houseplants", and "you're the only person who has complained about this". It's a little baffling to me that this was their response, as this has been a recurring issue I have experienced while purchasing from and even just browsing around their store. If you still plan to shop at Ravenna Gardens, I definitely suggest diligently checking for pests before purchasing a plant and quarantining it before incorporating it in your houseplant collection. And DEFINITELY steer clear of the potting soil - you can get a gnat-free and more affordable soil mix elsewhere.

    Super pretty beetle peperomia and ficus altissima that I bought and had repotted at Ravenna Gardens (in my own pots).

    I've been to nurseries, hardware stores, and boutique shops from Kent to Shoreline looking for plants, and Ravenna Gardens has the best selection, hands down. I was there on a Saturday, and I got a great little beetle peperomia. I also saw a ficus altissima that I liked, but I didn't buy it. When I went back on Wednesday, all of the ficus altissima I had seen were gone. They did have six new ones, but they weren't quite the same. All of the peperomia that had been there on Saturday were gone already, too. I brought a couple pots with me, and the peperomia. They repotted it and a ficus that I bought, with gravel in the bottom, dirt, and super pretty pebbles on top, all for only $5 total. If you're looking for something cool, definitely check out Ravenna Gardens. But if you see something you like, don't wait on it. It might go fast!

    Despite the approximately seventy thousand stone buddhas in this shop - which feel slightly overwhelming to someone who had to explain to five friends that taking a wee bit of silent time to myself (for no reason other than that I wanted to) was NOT vipassana - it's very hard not to love this store. First of all, it's gorgeous. I want to be best friends with its designer, although he/she probably already has too many best friends to add me into the mix. Secondly, the store is appealing to every sense. Long, delicate, hanging green vines border brightly colored pots, and several sweet scents waft pleasantly through this shop. The array of tactile sensations is infinitely varied, and, since recent research has revealed that plants actually do their own version of what we refer to as talking, I can imagine the fresh foliage softly whispering sweet nothings to each other amidst this luxuriously verdant environment. While I am inside this shop, I can never truly tell if I feel like I am outdoors or indoors - a perfectly satisfying confusion to have, especially on a rainy evening where I was sheltered by grace and gorgeousness while *almost* feeling like I was walking through a garden with tiny little smatterings of gift shop shards placed among the flora. In addition to the sensual appeal and the abundance of plants, garden statues, and plant pots, this store also offers useful gardening books (I picked up an excellent book about pruning), napkins, tea balls, and many other items. Also, my husband bought me a succulent.

    This place is so much more than a garden store. More like a boutique, trendy and unique. I like the modern indoor plants and green plant centerpieces. Beautiful seasonal decorations for the whole house, soaps, candles, lotions, delicious local jams, jelly, sauces and syrups. A great place to buy gifts and be inspired, to be creative and make your home a more delightful place inside and out! Also a very relaxing place to walk around and enjoy the many wonderful things they have to offer.

    You will see just anything and everything at Ravenna Gardens. What a great place to spend a couple hours just browsing. Either a sunny day or a rainy day. Absolutely fabulous place !#loveravennagardens#livemypnw

    One of the many beautiful arrangements
    Jessica H.

    Ravenna Gardens has an amazing selection of plants and succulents. I have always passed them through cause I never really had a need for coming in, but don't let that deter you away. Inside is fantastical! Everything is very organized and neat, I had assumed it was going to be an overgrown mess but nope, it is very elegant inside. One of the amazing things about Ravenna Gardens however is their florist. Her succulent arrangements are beautiful and very carefully arranged. Looking at some of the premade arrangements for sale, you can see how well each plant is arranged together, and she also does a lot of sand and rock layering that pull the pieces together extremely well. Her work is unique and amazing; I like to take pictures for inspiration.

    - Great for outdoor plants -…read more I wrote a review for this place ages ago when I was only interested in succulents. Their succulents are very limited, and they don't have that many different types of echeverias here. However, I got in outdoor plants two years ago since I got a bigger yard, and this place has been great for me since. This place is not gigantic like the flower world, nor is their price amazing. However, it's located in an expensive area in Bellevue and the price is reasonable given its location. They have a lot of shrubs and trees on top of other outdoor plants, and a small collection of indoor houseplants. They have many different types of fruit trees, including cherry, blueberry, kiwi, fig, grape, and so on. They also have rare ones but they are gone since they only have 4-5 of each type. I'm not sure if they keep more somewhere else. They have tons of different rhododendrons with different colors (white, orange, res, purple, yellow, etc). The bigger size costs $55, and the small one is around $23. I've found the same one (big size) at Costco for $25 or so, so it's important to know what you are looking for. Don't come here for common plants, but the rare ones that's harder to find elsewhere. Oh yeah, they also have 6-7 types of clematis here as well. I've gotten several lilacs here last year, and they are all blooming and growing nicely in my yard. I also love their Allium giganteum display around the "fountain" so much that I bought some bulbs and planted some in my yard.

They have a curated selection of plants and pots, and in the back of the store is an indie marketplace where you can shop for cards, stickers, art work, gifts and more plants by local makers. It's a pretty cool setup with a chill vibe. Recently I went in to get a Sun Dew because I've been having a slight problem with gnats and fruit flies. Got the little cutie you see in my attached photo for $10. It's been growing real well these last few weeks. Last May, I took a moss art class by Little Orchid Annie and it was so much fun!

Highly recommend subscribing to Fancy Plants' email newsletter so you can hear about upcoming workshops and read excellent plant tips from the owner. It's actually one of my favorite newsletters.

The bouquet was so beautiful, I had it preserved after the ceremony, so I could keep it forever.

The store overall is well thought out and was organized and stocked, even though they were very busy. Their "line starts here" sign isn't clear. Saw several customers going to the counter which has 2 registers and an internal computer (which some clueless customers also thought was a register) instead of going to the start of the line which is 10 feet away from the registers.
