I used to visit the one in Wicker Park so I was thrilled to see they have a location also in the West Loop which is easier for me to get to. This new location is a huge improvement aesthetically compared to the one in Wicker Park. This location is definitely more spacious and seems to offer a wider variety of things from eclectic jewelry to incense. The floral part though may be the bread and butter of this place. I love how they have the flowers on display, making it accessible and easy to choose your own arrangement.

Of course the plants I have cared for in the past never look as good as the plants here. They also sell pots, terrariums, plant and gardening related gifts.

I almost forgot to mention the rooftop has plants and planters for your rooftop or patio. All items are priced according to the quality of their merchandise. In short merchandise maybe a little pricey compared to a box store but, they have the quality and uniqueness that you wouldn't find elsewhere.

I wanted either a wide mouth with drainage holes or a tall slender pot. I got that and much more. My Ponytail came in a growers pot I just needed something cosmetically pleasing. I walked in this establishment and was met with first a "hello and welcome in" then to the left was BEAUTIFUL ceramic ombré pots, to the right was more colors, sizes and material. Further in the back I saw stripes and blends of color and further back I saw a pot with legs wow mind blowing. I expected these pots to be over $25, not the case I got two for $19.99. Two ceramic pots what a steal. I didn't buy any plants but I saw a Lemon Philodendron that is still on my mind, which I'm sure I'll be going back to purchase. Great service, product and customer service my new favorite place. Oh btw I just started a hydroponic system (countertop) and they had how to books, books for beginner plant mom/dads. Just a great place. I cannot say enough about Christy Webber Farm & Garden

So to just stumble upon the shop was another delight. I wish I could have taken all I wanted but I was walking. Absolutely stunning. A selection to die for. Colors I've never seen in floral shops. It's not going to be cheap, but you are going to enjoy every moment they are in your home. Also although it's a little cramped and I felt the need to hide a little bit in the store as to not be in the way, I never felt ignored. I was asked several times if I needed help/was being taken care of. The woman wrapping my bouquet/vase did a phenomenal job, it lasted another 1.5 mile walk, Lyft back to our hotel, and another night/day at our hotel. Thank you so much!

He was condescending and it wasn't a great experience. Despite the fact that the plants looked healthy, there isn't much that I can say positively. I felt uncomfortable asking questions. As a novice houseplant enthusiast, the appeal of local plant shops are the shop employees/owners valuable input. By the way, monsteras were reclassified as Araceae and aren't considered a philodendron anymore. When I had asked a clarifying question bc he asked me for the genus of the plant, I thought I understood and said "oh like a monstera?" And in a condescending tone he said, uh no, that's the species, it's a philodendron. Awkward/off putting experience. I wouldn't go out of my way again to come back.

Update: November 26, 2021…read more Plants are still lovely. But I'm pretty disappointed and not sure I'll be back anytime soon, since there are lots of plant shops in the city and suburbs to visit so I don't have to maintain my loyalty here. Very sad since I'd just shared on Yelp Insta that this was my favorite plant shop in the city. Let me explain. I attended their Small Business Saturday after-hours party. I had been looking forward to it for over a week. When I got there, not a single person in the store besides me was wearing a mask, and there were at least 10 others in the shop. They did have cans of some type of beverage sitting out, so it *might* have made sense of people were drinking, but I only saw one person who was drinking anything. Staff didn't have masks on either. I'd been so excited to perhaps find a rescue plant or get a cutting of a plant, in addition to probably leaving with a neon pothos, and now I'm annoyed I planned my day around this and it was such a letdown. But it was just real awkward and I felt like the strange one for being masked. I didn't want to ask if there were rescue plants/cuttings/etc. since I wasn't about to get close to people. So weird since they had what I thought was a Dailey firm stance on them other times I'd visited! They didn't ask for a vaccination card/image, but when they said "vaccine required", I didn't realize it also meant "masks optional".

The owner was there waiting for a big delivery and didn't have much in stock, but she showed me what she had and replaced a few older flowers in the one I chose.

Unfortunately, I didn't have the presence of mind to take a picture, but trust me when I tell you it was gorgeous- delicate shades of pink and caramel, roses and peonies and other lovely blooms.
