It was our first time driving from the south side to visit this family owned business. Even though…read morewe arrived 30 min before closing time Vicky was very kind to my 3 year old daughter who was just so excited to look at the flowers. After being gifted a panzea (totally unexpected) we were directed inside to see the store which houses an array of rare and regular plants. My daughter fell in love with a pink African violet plant and I found the money plant of my dreams. I'm excited to return for planting season as a first time home owner with a backyard garden and shade perennial garden coming soon. The prices didn't fluster me and I hope the experience continues next time.

I stumbled upon Asrai Garden when I attended an event at the Ace Hotel. At first I thought it was a…read morenew floral shop in town, but after talking to the staff I learned this was Asrai's newest location. 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.

I like visiting plant shops and had just recently been thinking I wanted to get another, so how serendipitous was this? It's a nice shop. Staff are friendly; although there was one employee checking another woman out when I first arrived and started wandering around, that employee sought me out when they were done to ask if I needed any assistance, and I appreciated that. They have a large and spacious shop, as well as an extensive outdoor section. I didn't find anything that I wanted today. They had some really nice plants, but I didn't really find something I wanted that I didn't already have. Their prices seemed a bit high... though I will admit I haven't been to a plant shop in several months and with inflation making prices increase so sharply recently, that may simply be the nature of the cost of living in 2022.

Please check out their plant store too. Really cool stuff and great advice.

The owner was very kind, wrapping it carefully for transport, helping load it into the car, and offering helpful care tips. A wonderful experience all around.

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.
