We had a girl's night out at one of Spotted Leaf's terrarium making classes and had such a blast! The classes take place in the rear of the shop, where there were tables and materials set up at each setting. To make things more fun, the classes are BYOB (some attendees even brought their own snacks and who charcuterie boards). Throughout the class, the instructor gave clear guidance on the steps to set up our terrariums while giving us time to roam around and create. We were given clear instructions for caretaking our new terrariums. I was also happily surprised to hear that if your plants outgrow their original bowl, you can bring them back to be replanted...and even get new plants for your terrariums for free! I had a few questions about my specific plants, and it became quickly clear to me that the folks here are plant experts. Definitely recommend the shop, especially the classes!

I've been to Spotted leaf at least 3 times to make a terrarium and always had a great time. I came here on a Saturday for their 11:30am class with my friend. All the times I've been to spotted leaf I did the open terrarium so this time I really wanted to do the enclosed terrarium. I feel like their terrarium classes are always so much fun and super welcoming. Everyone is just vibing and enjoying their time putting their terrariums together. The instructions of how to put your terrarium together is clear and the instructor is there to help you as well as everything is broken down by steps so it makes it super easy. This class was 11:30am-1:00pm so I felt like there was enough time to complete my terrarium but the instructor as well as the other employees were not rushing anybody which was nice. I felt like I was able to take my time. Also, I enjoy an early morning activity that way I can still have the opportunity to do something else with my day. Overall I definitely recommend this business! Such a cute date idea, friend date, or family time.

What can I say about this neighborhood gem? Owners Matt & Sam could not be nicer and all the staff are well educated about plants. I have attended several events here and have acquired most of my house plants here. Since the shop opened I have expanded my collection from the basic snake, pothos, jade and spider plants to a wider variety with the help of coaching from the staff and their awesome care cards!

A plant lover's sanctuary from the moment you walk in! This shop, an hour outside of NYC, is a perfect day trip. With a variety of houseplants and the setting for "plant and sip" classes, I can't speak more highly! I stopped in today and had the pleasure of being helped by Nicole and Matthew. They were very knowledgeable about each of the plants and even offered to replant them into larger pots to take home

PLANT PARADISE! Walking into this sanctuary of plants that are aesthetically placed so well throughout the store is a plant lover's dream! I recognized the owner instantly from IG (how I found them) as we walked in and she greeted us so kindly for our class. I knew that I was going to have an amazing experience and moments within the class it was confirmed.. I LOVE IT HERE. I came here for my mother's birthday, super last-minute planning. I was freaking out because there was only one ticket left but thankfully I was able to snag another spot for me and my mom to enjoy the experience. Our instructor for the class, Stephanie, was delightful and made the time we spent in the spot so wonderful. She was very insightful and gave a lot of knowledge about what we were doing in the class. Also, I did note that she was so KIND, SOOOOO KIND to everyone in the room. There was a vast variety of people and she handled it so well. Overall, it makes sense why they are on the list for Favorite Mom & Pop shop on Yelp. The shop is inviting, and warm, and the value of the experience and plants is so worth the trip. (1hr for me).

Nestled in the heart of Somerville, this plant shop isn't just a store; it's a botanical sanctuary for plant enthusiasts of all levels. From the moment you step through the door, you're enveloped by leaves and vibrant colors. There's a nice variety of plants on display throughout the shop, there's something here to captivate every plant lover's heart. Each plant is meticulously cared for, thriving in its own little corner of the shop. Care instructions are provided for every single plant in stock, ensuring that even the most novice of gardeners can nurture their greenery to perfection.

A plant lovers dream come true! My first time here was for their class experience. This was more of a whole class step by step experience. My second time here was for a studio experience. This experience also provided step by step but was more of independent pace. This option worked out well for our group of 10 who didn't all arrive at the given time. Booking a birthday must be done in advanced. Unfortunately, I missed the cut two years in a row; yet booking the studio experience was just as perfect! Booking was also a breeze as we went online, picked an open date, chose a terrarium, paid and received a prompt confirmation. Being that I already did their large bowl, we went for the medium bowl at $29 each. This included 2 plants. By far the most reasonable plant pricing ever!! The instructor was knowledgeable of all plants and super helpful all around. The owners simply amazing! Their dedication to plants and their customer satisfaction doesn't go unnoticed! The variety of plants seems unlimited. The beauty of their healthy greenery leafs are perfect. Look out for their pots, plant add on decors and dirt which is all made by them.Such a great "Spot"!

acanthocereus tetragonus!!!  wonderful

Received a plant in perfect condition. This company is reliable and trustworthy! I cannot be happier with the cactus!! Thankyou!!

I've always loved the way terrariums looked and aspired to have one someday but didn't know where to start. Spotted Leaf made it so easy and not intimidating. The employees and owners are so friendly and warm. They have a beautiful selection of HEALTHY plants. Each class ranges in price but I think it's worth the value for a fun, informative class. If you're looking for something relaxed, engaging and interested in plants, I would highly recommend! Great for all types of expertise.

A lush indoor plant store that was hopping on a Saturday afternoon. They offer plant and sip sessions which is neat. Some are by reservation and other slots are walk-ins. They have a nice selection of plants but nothing that's flowering. They have air plants, cacti, succulents and tall trees. Pretty much anything you'd need. They have a pet safe image on the plants that can be included in homes with pets. I'll be back but as a warning, they're really busy on a Saturday and I couldn't get help. I'd go on a slower day/time.

What a fun spot! I visited during their 1 year anniversary where they had walk in terrarium building along with a spin wheel where you can win a plant. My friend and I tried purchasing tickets for their classes for a couple months now, but their classes are so popular they become full quick! I was glad we were able to just walk in and enjoy. We each won a small plant in which we purchased a cute pot for. They repot your plant for free in the store as well which was a plus. My friend and I made our way towards the back where we did terrarium building. We had a choice between building in a wine class or a tropical jar. The staff did an amazing job explaining everything to us; it was such a laid back, fun experience. With being a new plant mom, this place is a DREAM. All of the plants have signs which tell you the name of the plant and the difficulty level on maintaining it which I loved. The signs explained things in which a new plant mom would need to know to make their decision. Afterwards, we stopped by the Salted Lime Bar next door! They also have a vegan spot on the same block as well. Their social media team KILLS IT on IG all the time! Did a great job spreading the word about this event. I will be back for more plants!

I had the BEST experience here. Signed up for a painting and potting class and loved it from start to finish. We had a wonderful instructor and got to meet the owners. They were all so sweet. Such a large collection of plants and the owner was super informative on how to care for the plants. I love that they provide care cards to take home. I'm super excited to give these plants a new loving home. I took home the potted plant I made in class, an air plant which was absolutely beautiful and a peperomia. I can't wait for her to grow and start hanging down! I absolutely recommend taking a class here. I'll definitely be returning back in the near future!

I love this cute little plant shop so much! I recently picked up planting as a hobby thanks to a recent Yelp event! Since then, I've come in on my own to purchase plants and to attend an Enclosed Terrarium Building class with one of the owners Matt and I had a great time even though I went by myself. Matt explained the entire process so thoroughly including the importance of each component of the terrarium such as the rocks, charcoal, soil, moss, even the optional bugs lol. It was such a joy to learn. The process itself of building the terrarium was so therapeutic and fun. Sam, the co-owner (and Matt's wife) is also incredibly nice and knowledgeable! Definitely expect to see more check-ins here from me :) I plan to do come on a monthly basis to either take a class or just buy a plant and grow my own collection!

Gorgeous reserved space for classes, parties, etc.

See all

Hi, i have a question? How's the private classes work?

You can go on the website they have a Q&A and they answer some questions about private parties. However, I think you may need a minimum of 12 people.

My husband and I pass this place all the time and we finally had some time to drop by and see what…read morethey had. It's an easy find since they're at an intersection after the merge going into Hillsborough. Getting in and out of the lot can be a little challenging unless you're coming from the same side. As soon as we walked in, I was kind of blown away by all the beautiful flowers that greeted our eyes and noses. A number of them were in full bloom and absolutely gorgeous. We walked around the property for a bit and didn't realize how much property they actually had. They had a great selection and I kind of didn't know where to look. Lol. We tracked down one of the guys and managed to asked some questions. We managed to find out they could send someone out to view the landscaping and point out what we have and what could be put in depending on our needs and purpose. We left our name and number for them to reach out for a consult. Update: Less than 24 hrs later, we receive a follow up call followed by a visit in late morning from Ryan. I was kind of expecting a call during the week so I was surprised. Ryan came out and walked the property with us addressing our questions about drainage, foundation plants and ideas for the planter beds. We were very pleased to have this level of service. Looking forward to additional discussions.

Went here on 5/15/23 to use a…read moreMother's Day coupon that clearly states "Valid for 1 day and expires 5/15/23" and the coupon was denied because the date on the coupon was a misprint. The young man at the register would not honor the coupon even though it was a mistake on their part. I just became a customer here last year but will not be returning after today. I was told that I was not the first customer that encountered this issue today but here we are at 5:30pm and no communication sent to the customers of their mistake. Below is a screenshot of the response I received from the "manager ". You can't give me a $500 reward to step foot back in that establishment after the response I received. She was called out on her shitty customer service and instead of responding like a manager with any type of class would she decided to respond with shittier customer service. Absolutely disgusting!!! As I read other reviews I'm not the only customer who has had the pleasure of dealing with this beauty . What a way to represent your establishment SMH! Seems like the screenshot with her original response keeps on deleting but her original response was "Geez. What is your address? I will mail you a personal check for $5. We gave people $5 all day yesterday but if you want $5, I will send you $5." SHE CLEARLY MISSED THE ENTIRE LACK OF CUSTOMER SERVICE PART AND FOCUSED ONLY ON THE $$$

Everyone works together to create an exceptional customer experience. In my case, I had the pleasure of working with Mark this year whose art and design background truly shines through. He expertly guided me through the design process, helping personalize my selections to ensure my vision came to life beautifully. His creativity, patience, and knowledge made the process enjoyable and stress-free. Chris, the manager, is always willing to step in and help support your choices and offer guidance especially for picky customers like me who sometimes struggle to make final decisions! His professionalism and customer first attitude never go unnoticed. Lucy, who handles scheduling, is always so friendly, pleasant, and accommodating. She makes coordinating installations easy and seamless. And finally, Salvador, the installer, continues to amaze me with his professionalism, attention to detail, and outstanding final results. Every project looks polished and beautifully executed. I also want to recognize the amazing team that leads the events and workshops including Ashley "Spice Girl", Caroline, and the wonderful red-headed team member (Cortney?)whose name I unfortunately forgot. They always create fun, informative, and engaging events that are well worth attending. It's a fantastic value and such an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon. My hats off to the entire Rutgers Nursery team for consistently delivering excellence, professionalism quality plants , creativity, and outstanding customer service. I highly recommend them!

The reason why I wouldn't recommend this company is the quality of their support is subpar. Many of the plantings died within the first year even though they get watered daily. The trees don't grow, whereas trees we bought from other landscaping companies in the area are already taller than our house. The patio has loose pavers and the low voltage lighting doesn't work everywhere. Some lights work, others don't. When I asked about the lights, they said it's a supplier issue from China, however they've installed other patios in our neighborhood with lights. I guess it's only a supplier issue for warranty issues and not new installs. The issue with the loose pavers however is the reason I'm writing this review. When I called to asked them to come out and take a look, they told me they can't take support calls like this over the phone instead I would need to email them. I don't understand how a company that I paid thousands of dollars to for a patio won't talk to me on the phone. I now have to wait days for a reply via email. Ridiculous Also, they are going to reply to this review asking me to call them and speak to management. That's a waste of time as when I call the person on the phone will say "send us an email". Terrible.
