Damn, this is a great store. I wish I didn't like it so much because I can easily see myself…read morespending far too much money here. I heard of this store months ago, when I was looking up plant shops to visit. I've driven by a few times because it's only about a mile away from me. Finally, when I saw that Charlene H.'s review, I first added her as a friend and then decided I needed to get to H+T sometime soon. Serendipity would lead to me to be just a couple blocks from the shop today so I decided I should stop in. That was a mistake, because I spent a lot more money than I had intended to spend. This store is at its core a home decor store, so it's not specifically a plant shop. But they DO have an extensive collection of plants, both indoor houseplants and outdoor plants. They have starters and they have seeds as well. Of course they have just about everything you need to care for your plants too: pots, gloves, potting soil, pruning shears, and so on. They have a really nice collection of pots, by the way; in addition to some of the ones I've seen at just about every plant shop, I got a couple others that I haven't seen elsewhere and are quite beautiful. Their prices are not out of line with other plant shops in the area. But I didn't stop there, because they have a seriously beautiful collection of items to decorate your home. I restrained myself to some extent but I could have gotten a lot more. I bought a photo frame, a basket for the new ZZ plant I purchased, a raven ZZ, and the two pots. They have really beautiful picture frames here so now I need to identify photos that I want prints of so I can buy more frames. (Can we bring back film photography, please?) Clever and cute idea to put photos of Lizzo in all of the frames, I dig it. I really like my plant basket too, so I may need to buy more of them. They had some really nice side tables that I would probably use as plant stands since some of them are small... or if I had more fancy furniture in my home too, I suppose. This is a store that I would love to buy things from because they'd make my home look sophisticated. The staff were really friendly, welcoming, and happy to help me. They charged me twice for one of the pots, but I realized that before leaving and they fixed it straightaway. Then when I realized I had bought a 5x7 frame instead of a 4x6 frame, the return was easy. But they do have a more conservative return policy than a mass merchandiser would, so be sure that you understand the return policy before you purchase.

SCAMMER SCAMMERS SCAMMERS--------…read more I called to order some garden mix for our new raised beds-I thought the price sounded good, and the Fortini on the phone told me we would be getting a great mix for a raised garden bed it would be -dirt-manure compost and sand in this garden mix-suitable for vegetable gardening. What we got was what seemed like some dirt they pulled out a of a construction site-it was all clay and rocks, with some sand thrown in for a good appearance, I did not smell a whiff of any manure-I was naive and put it in my beds-when it rained the clay formed what looks like cement on the surface and tons of cement rocks came to the surface. Fortini and Sons is not selling Garden Mix they are selling dirt from Joe Schmoski's latest construction site-NOT GOOD-I wonder what poisons are lurking in this load of GARBAGE. When we called Fortini told me we didnt smell manure compost because the compost was aged for two years and has no scent-now why would I want two year old compost for my garden?

This is a tiny shop, but it is PACKED with botanicals…read more The shopkeeper was friendly and quite knowledgeable, but he wasn't wearing a mask and this was a few days to a week before the mask mandate ended in Chicago (February 28, 2022) and I'm already a bit wary so I headed out. I'm not sure if that was on purpose or he didn't realize, but it was getting a little crowded in the store for me anyway so probably would have been ready to leave regardless. There are lots of plants, and my understanding is that not everything is on display since they're short on space in the main area of the shop. They have a nice collection of orchids, too; I actually considered getting one, but changed my mind. For some reason I think of them as being somewhat... difficult, or needing more attention (whether that's true or not I'm not sure), and I have enough responsibilities with the plants I already own (especially one of my calatheas that's being a bit of a drama queen at the moment!). I may have to try my hand at an orchid sometime, though. The aforementioned shopkeep gave me a huge boost of confidence that I could. In our discussion he mentioned the crucial point that orchids are just plants that flower more often than other botanical houseplants folks might keep, even though many green houseplants may flower under the right conditions. Once an orchid stops flowering, they're still plants without the flowers for you to care for. Food for thought! They also have a shop pet, which was a surprise! I don't like lizards, but luckily this one was in an enclosure. I was a bit startled, though, so be forewarned that the little guy is hanging out in his plexiglass home--he won't hurt you, since you won't be able to touch him, but I as I said, I was surprised! They don't have a huge collection of pots, but the plants all looked lovely and healthy. They have some popular favorites, but it also seemed they had some more unusual and harder to find plants. They have displays for live plant walls for which you can consult with them to install in your home or office, too, if you wish. Parking on this stretch of Damen is touch and go, and it's paid, so plan accordingly.

This is my go-to when I need a bamboo plant…read more I'm half Chinese and I was told by my mom and grandma that giving someone a bamboo plant when they're having a change in circumstance, for example, a move or an injury, is good luck. I don't know how true this is but it sounds like a great gesture to me. Anyways, my mother in law is recovering from surgery in Texas and I wanted to send her one. I went online and the ones I found for delivery were puny and over priced. I went on into Hiep Loi. They really have a great selection for great prices. I picked out a pot, some rocks and a big plant. The old guy behind the counter didn't like the one I picked and insisted he had a healthier one in the bottom of the container. He did! He even gave me some suggestions on how to ship it. The staff is always super helpful and friendly. Go. Now. Buy bamboo.

I walk past this place all the time when I go to Argyle for pho, but never thought twice about…read moregoing in. But I recently purchased a shower curtain with a simple bamboo print on it and wanted to get a small bamboo plant for our bathroom. A bamboo themed bathroom - chic or corny? Knowing my sense of style, probably the latter, but that's ok. I'll deal with the consequences later. The store has a variety of bamboo plants, some are simple and others are ornate. Prices are $3 and up, depending on the style of bamboo. I decided to purchase the $13 plant, with 3 stalks in a colorful vase. It's a gift shop, so they also have Buddha figurines, as well as Jesus and Mary! I should tell my parents about this place, since their home is adorned with all three figures (go figure). They have chopsticks, too, and I'll be back to purchase a few pairs for my home. I have a stash of disposable chopsticks, but I'm ready for "real" ones. Real ones!
