The two is completely missing the point of the old original location. Go to South County when you need basic plants in flats, soil, and vegetables. The price is fantastic and the people there are extremely helpful. My only negative is the parking situation. On many weekends I have to park next-door in the community college lot, but it's not that much of a hassle.

They also have tools, equipment and items such as pots, potting soil and decorative plant holders. It is usually very busy but once you get into the checkout line it moves OK. Downside: Price is just OK, not great, but there aren't many deals for plants & flowers these days. Also, rows between plants are very narrow, so be ready to drive your cart carefully and try not to run over anyone's toes. Finally, their staff working around the greenhouse is very small. Plenty of helpers at checkout but if you need help finding a plant or identifying options, good luck tracking someone down.

While they historically focused just on hostas and hellebores, they look to have expanded their inventory to include a variety of other plants this season. The hellebores were out of season during my recent spring visit, but the hosta selection was incredible. I brought home four new plants: two stunning, blue-green 'Halcyon' and two crisp, white-edge 'Patriot' hostas. The retail operation recently moved three minutes down the road from the original property (which is now a display garden) to a historical 1920s brick schoolhouse. The retail plants are housed in a massive greenhouse on-site. They are still organizing the inventory by hosta size, but it's already mostly easy to navigate and a blast to explore. The customer service is low-key but knowledgable. I initially didn't realize the woman working was an employee since she was dressed in a college hoodie, but she turned out to be very helpful and knowledgeable about the varieties. Between the unique schoolhouse setting and the unparalleled selection, this is a local treasure for plant lovers! The Breakdown Selection: + Quality: Pricing: Staff Helpfulness: Vibe:

Back to the plants: they have common houseplants and cool finds too. I got an anthurium there that I haven't seen at any STL store. Their philodendron game is unmatched and the my almost always have a thriving brasil variety which make a great gift. I have a few of those and they are the healthiest I've seen in a long time.
