Super patient even when you ask silly questions. I thought two plants and they're doing great, the staff made sure to review with me how to care for them and optimal placement as far as lighting in my house. You'll probably pay a little bit more here compared to a large retailer, but you're paying for the education as well and the vast selection.

City Grows is a great local plant shop in the Lawrenceville neighborhood. Their collection of…read moreplants varies by the season but I'm always pleasantly surprised to see new plants in the store whenever I go in. The vibe of store is super relaxing and the smell of eucalyptus is strong and inviting when you walk in. This shop definitely gives off more high end vibes. There are more down to earth spots in the neighborhood where prices might be a bit lower for the same thing. City Grows is more curated and aesthetically pleasing and is a really nice experience from start to finish overall. The back patio is beautiful and it's fun to see all the outdoor plants thrive. I've bought several plants from here and the quality is on par with the price. Plan on spending a bit of money but you'll be happy with the results and lifespan of your plants.

In contrast to its name, this store is actually very cool. It is tucked away on a corner off of…read morePenn, so it could be easy to miss. The gals running this store are clearly having a great time and it makes for a fun shopping experience. On the day we visited, they were passing out homemade cookies and glasses of mimosas - yes please! All buzzed up and ready to shop, we discovered jewelry, vintage clothes, beautiful home decor, and unique art. The prices range from surprisingly reasonable to mild sticker shock.

This summer, we purchased a beautiful wedding table, large mirror, and clock. The ladies were absolutely amazing in helping us get these items shipped all the way to AZ!

Thank you to Morgan and Maddie who helped and made every step in this process seamless! We will be back next summer!

Recently I have gotten into milling around stores like this. Not sure what has come over me but I…read morekind of like it. I like looking through items and thinking what if I had this. I have also come to the realization that you don't always need to buy new when you are looking for unique. I really enjoyed this place because they have something for just about everybody in here. What one person may find tacky another will enjoy immensely. The downstairs is setup nicely. You can easily maneuver through the area and see everything they have on display. Don't think that this is all that they have in store, venture upstairs. Upstairs takes a little more time to go through. But it is still a great area to go through. I was drawn to this map of the city, of course I was too late as it was sold. Would make a great wall piece. There were also an abundance of globes that were dated, but kind of awesome. I also eyed in on a coat rack, but had to talk myself out of it as I really didn't need it. Don't mind the noise when you are upstairs as this sits underneath Arsenal Bowling. At least don't think that there was another floor to this and that they were moving furniture around, as my friend did. Really amusing and confusing to the employee when we were in here.

Well I came in here after I was done getting my nails fixed to see if they had something that would…read morefit in this corner space of my dining room. I knew it was a long shot since what I was looking for isn't exactly the era of what they usually stock but I thought I'm right here might as well look for it. They didn't have the chaise lounge so I was looking for but the furniture inside is beautiful. Sometimes I wonder how they get such unique items in their store. The second floor there was some really nice dining room tables and chair sets. It made me think maybe I'm due for an upgrade to something more vintage. The prices are pretty reasonable and they have a vast array of different items. I found a few things that I liked that I filed a way in my memory maybe for Christmas. The staff that was working today was helpful and while I didn't find what I wanted she encouraged me to look around to see if there was something else that piqued my interest. I do like this neighborhood gem and I think I would recommend it for people looking for that special piece to tie a room all together. Whether you're in the neighborhood just walking around or out looking for that piece of furniture to complete your home, this is a place to stop to browse. If you don't find exactly what you're looking for you're still going to come away with some good ideas for some changes to your house.

When we dropped items off on 6 or 7 occasions, the workers were helpful and friendly. The off-street parking was convenient although sometimes busy. Drop-off hours are somewhat limited (at this writing, 9-noon Mon, Tue, Thurs, and Fri), but we liked the place and arranged our schedule accordingly. We also had some larger items to donate, and checked the Second Harvest website before assembling donations in the garage. It was easy to go online and book a Second Harvest vehicle to come to the address. This service did cost money, but it was far less expensive than any other non-profit we tried. Online payment has an option to reschedule or cancel. The two men who visited the house were friendly, efficient, and strong. They accepted most of our items, and explained why they could not take certain things (all non-profits have similar rules, so this was understandable). Our goals were to help our neighbors, and keep useful and beautiful things out of landfills. I felt very comfortable donating to Second Harvest---everything from cutlery and clothing to a nice desk. I have faith that these items will go on to people who want and need them.

The crystals she has there are all beautiful, and some of them even come in bracelet and earring form! I bought a malachite bracelet, as pictured, and I love it. I also bought a couple other crystals, and a smudging bundle called the Three Sisters. It has sage, cedar, and sweet grass mixed together for a good general clearing of yourself or space. I smudged the house as soon as I got home, and it feels so much better in here now. There are plenty of books to choose from, tarot decks, oils, candles, and little spell kits. Everything you could ever need for your rituals. Stop in if you're in need of something new to brighten your spirit!

Pro tip: walk through first and take notes, then grab a buggy. The aisles are narrow, and the walk down to the last greenhouse is pretty steep, so it's easier if you already know what you want. Prices are comparable to other garden centers, but the variety is unmatched.
