I went in looking for a few low maintenance plants and Cole walked me through several options with real care and attention. I picked up a Hoya Compacta Hindu Rope, a ZZ plant, a Philodendron Lemon Neon, a Bromeliad, a Crassula Jade, an annual, and a six inch Euphorbia Firestick cactus. Every plant looked healthy and well cared for. Since it was a quiet Wednesday morning, I got very personalized attention, but honestly the service here is always excellent even when the store is busy. The staff makes every customer feel valued, no matter how many people are in the shop. The prices are higher than big box stores, but the quality and care of the plants make it worth it. This is easily one of my favorite plant shops in DC and I always leave feeling excited about my new plants. Thank you again to Cole for the great recommendations and wonderful customer service.

Planting in the fall is the right time, so you want to shop now - they are open through the end of October. The staff is incredibly helpful as well - they will help you pick plants that will thrive based on your soil and sun/shade conditions. Need a workhorse for your flower bed?

We moved into a house last summer and first on my list was handling the yard. The backyard had a…read morelot of bamboo, and throughout the first summer and fall it spread significantly. We attempted to remove some ourselves but were quickly overwhelmed by the task. I researched native plant landscapers and came across Swamp Rose Co-op. After reaching out, Jeff, one of the owners, came to do a site visit. He was thorough in his presentation of plans and this February we had them come and do bamboo removal and plant some native trees and shrubs to act as a privacy screen. The Swamp Rose team was amazing! They pulled out over 2 tons of bamboo and roots! They planted native trees and shrubs which are thriving. Our backyard woodland meadow dreams are coming true. We have the team coming back in a few weeks to rip out the standard plants seen in the Silver Spring area (liriope, lilies, weeds) to replace with a native garden and we can't wait. One of my favorite aspects of this company is it is a co-op. The employees can be owners, and those who aren't are still paid a living wage as calculated by the MIT living wage calculator. They do excellent work! It is hard to find a native landscaper but this team is fantastic.

I purchased two expensive trees (among other plants) a year ago, and one of them died over the winter. I requested a replacement, but the service team stated that I missed the one-yer warranty period by a week. If you charge that much for your product, you should back it up. Not coming through because I missed a one-year window by a week is unfair and shortsighted. One would be better off buying from Lowe's or Home Depot a quarter mile north. What does one receive for the premium pricing? Better plants? Nope, mine died. Better service? Nope, denied replacement because of a week. The value is not there.

Greenstreet Gardens is a good, local nursery serving the DMV. One of the smaller nurseries I…read morefrequent in the area, Greenstreet operates year-round. They have a good selection of plants, however, as a smaller garden the selection of larger plants is not vast. In fact, it seems that aside from their young trees, their focus is on smaller plants which makes sense due to the limited space.

There are several great places to buy trees: Eastern Market and the place near National Cathedral, being my favorites. Skip the hassle of buying a second tree - which I did - and go to one of those. Don't waste your time here.
