In the middle of Broadway, there is a house covered in greenery…read more If this were a world of magic, you might assume this was the home of the local herbalist--a place where you'd knock on the door looking for some mysterious remedy made from roots and leaves. And yet, there actually is something a little magical happening here. I've always loved the idea of having plants in my home. The problem is that buying one usually comes with a sudden avalanche of questions: Where am I going to put this? Is this the right pot? How much do I water it? Does it need direct sunlight? Is this even the right plant for me? Am I just paying $30 to slowly murder this thing? Those questions have honestly kept me from buying plants for years. Then, on a whim, my wife and I walked through the door here. I fully expected to leave with a beautiful plant that I would bring home, admire for a few weeks, accidentally kill, and eventually apologize to while throwing it away. Instead, I think they may have turned me into a plant person. The first thing that makes this place special is the space itself. This residential house has been transformed into what feels like a living, breathing home filled with beautiful, youthful plants. The selection feels purposeful, and everything is placed so naturally that there's a flow as you wander from room to room. It never feels like you're walking through a store with inventory lined up on shelves. It feels like you're touring someone's wonderfully eccentric home and discovering all the little things they've collected along the way. There are even things tucked into corners or sitting on tables that look so perfectly at home that I'm still not 100% sure whether some of them are actually for sale. And somehow, every time I visit, I notice something I swear wasn't there before. A new plant. A piece of pottery that feels far too nice for what it costs. Some strange little decorative treasure. A seashell that suddenly becomes the perfect new home for an old plant you brought back to be repotted. You can walk in thinking you have a quick errand to run and realize 45 minutes later that it has become one of the most enjoyable parts of your week. There's something genuinely calming about wandering through the rooms and seeing what you discover. But as beautiful as the plants and the space are, they aren't what ultimately made me want to keep coming back. It's the people. There is something wonderfully contagious about how excited the staff gets about your plants. When you make a choice, they don't react like someone who just rang up another item. They make you feel like you somehow discovered the coolest plant in the entire building. Their enthusiasm makes your purchase feel personal--as though you didn't just buy something; you picked your plant. And if you're someone like me who walks in knowing approximately nothing, there is never a feeling that you should already know the answers. They'll travel through the rooms with you, answer questions, help you figure out what works with the light in your home, talk through pots and care, and steer you toward something that actually fits your life. You leave not only excited about what you bought, but confident that the plants in your arms might actually survive living with you. That completely changed plant shopping for me. And the relationship doesn't necessarily end when you swipe your card. They seem to care about the plants they sell almost like someone who fostered an animal and still wants occasional updates to make sure it's doing okay. You can bring plants back when they need some extra TLC. They'll repot them. They can help care for and water them while you're away. There's a wonderful feeling that if something starts going wrong, you have somewhere to bring it besides Google at 11:30 at night while searching, "Why are my plant's leaves turning brown?" And if they don't have what you're looking for, they actually remember. Mention that you've been searching for a bonsai tree, and a month later your phone might light up with a text and a picture: Look what came in. That kind of service is increasingly rare. It turns what could have been a simple retail transaction into a relationship. I originally walked through that greenery-covered house expecting to buy a plant I would probably kill. Now I walk in excited to see what's new. Somewhere along the way, they didn't just sell me plants. They took away the uncertainty that had kept me from owning them in the first place. They made learning about them fun, made caring for them feel manageable, and made buying one feel less like bringing home a decoration and more like adding another small living thing to your home. So maybe my first impression was right. Maybe there is a little magic in that house on Broadway after all.

Unacceptable Behavior from Ownership - Completely Unhinged…read more I had a deeply disturbing experience at Stamp Farms today while visiting with my daughter to redeem my Green Rewards. When I asked the owner how much the rewards were worth, he became instantly irritated Instead of answering a simple question, he wanted to just give me 50% off and refused to allow me to redeem them. he began screaming and swearing at me--in front of my daughter and ultimately threw me out of the store. He escalated quickly, coming around the counter and getting in my face in an aggressive and threatening manner. It was completely unprofessional, uncalled for, and frankly, alarming. My daughter was shaken and I was stunned. There is absolutely no excuse for this kind of behavior from anyone, let alone a business owner. I was simply trying to support a small business and redeem my awards from being a loyal customer.

The associate who helped me was very knowledgeable and informative, I regret that I don't recall her name. She asked many questions and provided excellent advice about how many of the different available plants could be used for the design I had in mind. She also made sure I knew how to plant, water, and feed them. These shrubs are an investment, intended to last years as an important part of my landscaping, so I didn't want to use big box stores because the price of the investment, even at big box stores, warrants lasting quality. At this time all plants are heartily thriving, and are worth every penny.
