My SAVED peace lily thanks to The Plant Gays

This place is amazing. The two men who own this shop are the nicest most amazing and knowledgeable people you will ever meet. I recently lost my father and was gifted this peace lily from his funeral. I successfully killed it in the matter of a couple weeks. I took my sad plant to their little shop explained what was going on and how much this plant meant to me. He showed me what pot to buy (which I knew I was gonna need) and they repotted it for free with the purchase of the ceramic pot with drip tray. Gave me a quick plant lesson on how to care for it and sent me on my way. It's officially 6 months later and my peace lily has now bloomed and is thriving. There aren't enough stars to give or kind words in the world to say about this company. They really truly have something special going for them. Thank you Plant Gays

Super cute little shop! They had a decent verity despite it being side the market. Everything looked so beautiful and healthy! There was one employee who was super helpful and really nice! There were so many things I wanted so I definitely will be back! I also saw they have an only shop as well that you can get delivered with in 10 miles or schedule for pick up. I might utilize that feature next time. Especially when it's busy at the market. I got a beautiful succulent and air plant! The succulent was apart of an event but I payed $6-$7 for the air plant which I think is definitely a reasonable price! There were also some useful plant care tools! Overal great experience and looking forward to going back!

Stopped into the East Market today heading to check out The Plant Gays to pick up a little gift. I had such a great experience I wanted to hop on Yelp and leave them a review. I easily found street parking and made my way into the front entrance of the Historic Trolley District: East Market. The shop is located in the front center, just behind the foyer of the main entrance. This was my first time visiting The Plant Gays and met David who was working the shop today. I would have never thought I would have so much fun talking about plants, plant care, types of options for different environments, and learning more about thier business and services! There is all kinds of cute stuff here. After browsing a bit, I picked out a Norfolk Island Pine, and also found a cute cactus and a fun looking air plant. The cactus and air plant were perfect for two decorative little planters that I have been wanting to put something in for a while. In addition to the variety of plants, they have gifts & accessories like watering cans, little jars of moss, plant tools, spray bottles and much more. They have different types of planters, vases, and offer plant services too. You can schedule in-home design service, or schedule a re-potting service and bring your plant in (or they can do a home visit for larger plants). Stopping in made my day. Super friendly and great customer service. I even grabbed a Loyalty Card for future visits.

First time at the East Market and at The Plant Gays. The Plant Gays is the only store that sells plants in the East Market. Don't be fool by the size of the store. It's a small store but packs a lot of stuff. There are so many different types of plants and others things like pots, candles and ornaments. There are many different things you can pick for yourself or for a gift. Soon as I entered the store a gentleman welcomed us and showed us different types of plants and when we picked the plant that we liked, he repotted it and gave us instructions on how to take care of it. He was super nice. Will definitely visit here again for our next plant needs.

The Plant Gays is a unique store specializing in house plants and flowers, as well as handmade planters and other plant accessories. The business is in the East Market in the Historic Trolley District. This was our first trip to the East Market, and we had a great time. David was very friendly, helpful, and patient as we decided between various plant options. My wife picked the fern plant, while I picked the cactus. Both are beautiful (and I don't even like houseplants)! If you are looking for a vendor who offers something different than big box retail stores, give the Plant Gays a try, and you will not regret it!

I happen to love a good plant shop and the Plant Gays is adorable. The staff are super friendly and so nice! It was really fun to have a browse and talk about different kinds of plants. They also offer some cute local gift items, including candles and stickers, along with a selection of just really healthy looking plants and some interesting plant pots. For sure worth a visit and a return trip!

This is such an adorable shop in the East Market! Great parking is available and there are tons of other vendors to visit for snacks after you shop for tons of awesome plants, plant accessories, and locally made giftables. They have lots of smaller plants and event planters for them-- you could create a really adorable indoor garden just from visiting this one shop. I loved the little plant hats they have for cacti. So cute. The owners are in the shop almost every day meeting with customers, and they even have some of their own artisan-made work, like unique pottery, available for sale. It's the type of place where you stop in and sort of want everything. I especially enjoyed all of the little jarred living mosses they have, and the adorable Christmas ornaments they have in stock right now.

The Plant Gays located toward the back of the East Market and easily spotted along with all greens. I love this little stand filled with all the greens. They have variety size of plant to select. The owner is super nice and patiently explain on the care instruction for the plant. Other than that, they also have some accessories for plant and some interesting gift options as well.

Another fabulous yelp event where you discover a new place in a city you've lived in for over 30 years! The East Market recently opened and The Plant Gays are the only non food store in the Market. The space is small but well organized and the owner was very helpful. Got the free plant but also bought another one that he potted for me. Excited to come back with my loyalty card.

My favorite florist in the city…read more Nice people, a wide selection of gorgeous flowers, and they help me pick my own arrangements. Highly recommended. Go buy someone you love some flowers...!

When I used to live in Columbus, I would frequent the North Market in the Short North almost…read moreweekly. I visited for the first time in many years and found that most vendors have changed over the years. One familiar vendor is the Market Blooms at the North Market. I had a delightful experience picking up some flowers yesterday for some family friends in the area. I actually came specifically to visit this vendor and found them easily in the middle of the North Market. There was no wait but it was also mid-afternoon on a weekday. I glanced through the creative card selection (out of curiosity) and then checked out the flower options. They had some floral arrangements ready for pick up at a variety of prices. I selected the mid-range price and was delighted at the options I had. I used a combination of a gift card and credit card, which was easy to do. The flowers were well received by me and later by my family friends who I gave them to as a thank you for hosting me for a meal. While I was there, I met two of the vendors including a man who had been working there for more than thirty years. That made sense as I last stopped by for flowers at this same vendor approximately twenty years ago, and he looked familiar. Market Blooms opened for business in 1990 with the simple mission of becoming a neighborhood flower shop serving the local community. While I was at a conference this week, someone asked me if I knew the nearest place to take an Uber or Lyft to get flowers, and I mentioned I thought that there was a flower store in the North Market, only across the street from the convention center. I then realized I had a need for flowers and took my own advice. The location is in the middle of the North Market near the front doors. The hours at the North Market are Monday from 9 AM to 5 PM, Tuesday through Friday from 9 AM to 7 PM, Saturday from 8 AM to 5 PM, and Sunday from 12 to 5 PM. I would assume that later during the lunch hour during the weekends (and weekdays) it is probably quite busy. Market Blooms still has the same missions; they are still that neighborhood shop with buckets of freshly picked flowers, ready to greet people at the door. Learn more about Market Blooms at https://www.marketbloomscolumbus.com. If I'm ever in Downtown Columbus needing flowers, I will certainly plan on shopping again at Market Blooms.

**It's YE Gurl -- flower-forward and fragrance-filled on May 10th **…read more While bopping around the **Hops on High Street Fair**, I caught sight of a parade of women twirling around with bouquets like flower-crowned woodland creatures -- and you know I had to follow the trail. It led me straight to **Blossom Flower Bar**, a new florist business that's clearly got the *soft launch meets cool girl era* vibe down. Think: **Trader Joe's DIY floral section** but with actual stylish florist folks on hand to help if you want a real-deal bouquet or guidance on your stems. The vibe? Youthful, jazzy, and blooming with potential. **What I grabbed:** An **exotic mix of flowers** -- the last of the bunch, since they'd opened early for the fair and I swung by post-lunch. A few stems, some not-yet-budded beauties, and a *slightly* picked-over selection still ran me **\$56 with tax**. Yes, that stung a bit, but listen -- **tariffs have upped your Mother's Day flowers by 30%**, so don't say I didn't warn you! Still, the bouquet is **thriving in my vase** days later, and I learned a little flower care too (no direct sunlight, y'all -- so off the kitchen counter and onto my coffee table they went). I don't quite understand the fascination of this city with food and drink, since the other reviews claim they can add it. Why? So you all can overstay your welcome in this shot gun style business? Come on now. Let's keep the drinks and food menu for private events and just learn to pack a sandwich people. LOL **Final thought:** With the plant girl aesthetic booming post-COVID, it's no surprise **florists are hip again**. But let's not forget to show the same support to these **mom-and-pop petal pushers** who bring beauty to the block one bouquet at a time.

Wow, such a fun spot!! The flowers are absolutely beautiful and there's a wide variety to pick…read morefrom. I love that the menu gives you a recipe to make your bouquet and the prices per stem are also listed so you don't get sticker shock at the end. My Book Club went for a girls day to make bouquets, and we had a blast! They will let you bring your own alcohol and snacks in too. Definitely room for them to grow and offer their own food and beverage selections in the future though to add to the experience.
