I had the pleasure of meeting Lexi and Karen while stopping by The Potting Shed. I wanted to pick up a few plants for our household and I'm someone who's new to caring for and owning plants. Lexi and Karen took care of me and gave me some valuable information about the plants I purchased. They were both pleasant to speak with and I would love to do business again with this wonderful place in the future. read more

Love this gem of a place! Bought teacher gifts, beautiful succulent arrangements in wonderful ceramic pots! Owner was friendly and so helpful! read more

I've never been to this particular nursery before, but it was honestly, so cute, quaint and small! Lol I am not too sure if you were supposed to buy things in the entrance next door/to the left of where I entered the pottery shed, but there were three other women in the store when I went in, and they were at an "ah" looking at everything the same way I was! Hee. The items were reasonably priced and since I am a teacher, there were some great classroom ideas I got from little fairytale houses I can build up in our local kinder garden that we have in front of my center. She had some cute $.15 wooden hearts and stones for decorations in your Potted succulent aquariums! I don't know exactly what I will do yet with my kinders, but I did get some great inspiration! I will definitely be back once. I figure out how the children and I can decorate our own little potted plants and I will go back and buy a bunch of little succulents or maybe those little cute Floating plant succulents. I'm not too sure of the technical name. But the kindergartners shouldn't be able to kill succulent too fast, right?! Lol. read more

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this shop! Each time I come here I feel like everything is so magical. I bought my first air plants here and when I bought it home that same day I felt like it was already growing. In the expand of 3-4 days in a row my baby plant was blooming so rapidly. I never seen a plant that grow so fast like this one. I'm definitely coming back to get up another magical air plants. This place surely is special. It's super duper cute as well! The person that works there is always super friendly and helpful. read more

Lively owner who greets every "guest."Sweet little shop that has lots pf lvely stuff for gardeners and putzers alije- epitmizes the divine.

We've been shopping at the Potting Shed for years. We especially love their hand made mugs by Betsey Carter in Los Angeles. We've purchased at least 30 over the years as gifts and for our own home. The team at the Potting Shed has always been so sweet and wrap our purchases so beautifully. Thank you Potting Shed for all your little treasures. read more

Cute shop plants cards. Pillows great for. Usual set gifts exotic indoor outdoor shop

The shop owner/salesperson was in the store and we asked if she was still opened it was around 6, she looked up and saw my four kids (a lot I know) and she said in irritated voice "nope I was supposed to already be closed" her demeanor was short and rude which was surprising in this cute little area. I also close and open a business and am more about community then business maybe she has different views. read more

I came across this gem simply by accident. I was in town for a conference and decided to explore and found this beautiful place along with other cute stores located in the same street. In fact this little city has quite a bit of Boutiques that are all walking distance and shop owners that are super nice! This particular place has a uniqueness that immediately draws you in, with the beautiful succulents, hanging terrariums, and whimsical ornate objects. Pretty much has cute things at every corner that a girl can get mesmerized in there. I didn't want to leave and lucky for me they even let you create your own terrariums so you can have fun and get creative here. This is a perfect place with a backyard setup to create terrariums or succulents with your kids, your girlfriends or someone special. Everyone there made me feel really welcome and put a big smile on my face. Perfect place to Destress & Unwind! read more

I worked with Kathleen on 27 (yes 27!) succulent arrangements for my wedding. Kathleen was incredibly enthusiastic and excited to take on the challenge. She met my budget (which was very small compared to most wedding arrangement budgets) and exceeded my expectations! We provided the planters and she did the rest. She sent us a picture of what she had in mind, and it was spot on, so we let her run with it. The shop was able to take our payment over the phone, and we picked up the plants on the way to the venue; it could not have been easier or less stressful. We were able to offer the planters as gifts to our guests, and we BARELY snagged one before they were taken to their new homes. We've heard from numerous guests how much they love them! In addition to the arrangements, my husband found a small heart-shaped wreath made of driftwood and decorated with air plants in the shop during one of our visits. He envisioned it hanging from the arch during the ceremony, and it became a beautiful addition to our wedding, playing a very central role! Highly recommend stopping by this shop. Their doors are open and the staff is welcoming! It's nearly impossible not to walk away with a gift or a keepsake. Thank you to Kathleen and her team for making our Fairfax wedding beautiful and unique! read more

This is the most lovely shop with the sweetest owners who will go out of the way to help you. I have gotten gifts for everyone here year after year. I am so thankful they survived the pandemic and are thriving. Gorgeous jewelry also, but the best part is the dreamy atmosphere full of live plants and decorating ideas. Highly recommend. read more

This little shop is a microcosmic representation of everything wonderful about Fairfax - great people, unique products, ecoconscious, and all about nature. My partner and I visited the shop on a Sunday afternoon, and from what we could gather the kind woman helping us wasn't the owner...so we wanted to make sure that the owners know what an amazing employee they have working for them!!! She was so warm and welcoming...and as it was our first time to Fairfax she took the time to introduce us to what's great in Fairfax. She was the type of person who has nice, just because that seems how she just is, not the type that's nice only to sell you stuff. About the store, its great! they have some of the most unique small plants I've seen. gorgeous lawn/patio decorations! We bought a beautiful outdoor bell from india and lovely earth goddess prayer flags! Definitely a worthwhile stop in Fairfax! Warm people and great items! read more

I've only been here a couple of times, but I love this place. Just even looking in the windows makes you smile. There is something so sweet and magical about it, you just have to go in. The plants and decoration are artfully arranged and the gift items are really cool, unusual and yet not too out there. Things I would definitely want I find here as gifts. Many of my friends love this place, too. If you are near Fairfax, it definitely is a great place to stop and browse and pick up a few things you didn't know you needed to make your place just look better. read more

Lovely place to buy gifts, for yourself or someone special. The staff and owner are super helpful and friendly. I love this shop!

I love this place! I came upon it one day while walking around Fairfax, and was drawn in by the creative mix of plants, jewelry, art, and cards. The small inside-outside store is like a wonderland of little treasures - you're bound to find something that speaks to you. On top of this, the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming! I went there today to buy a gift, only to find they were closing up for the evening. When I expressed my disappointment and said I wanted to buy a gift, without hesitation the salesperson said "come on in!" and helped me find what I was looking for. I can't get over how personable, neighborly, and kind she was! Potting Shed, you just made me love you even more :) read more

I really love this little gifty plant shop with their sweet little cottage and assortment of rustic garden accessories. They are known for having lovely succulent arrangements and they deliver. A nice living alternative to the traditional bouquets. This is a great spot to find a locally sourced gift for the friend who has everything. read more

Amazing selection of super unique plants and accessories. Super sweet staff! Can't wait to stop in again soon.

I am an absolute lover of succulents. There exists such a beautiful diversity of colors, shapes, sizes and textures that exist within this breed, and The Potting Shed has by far the best selection of succulent plants and pots that I have experienced. Not only is the selection plenty and diverse, but the woman who owns it, along with everyone who works there, are such a joy to be around. The space is quaint and cozy, with a beautiful garden area in back where they hold succulent potting classes. If you are ever in downtown Fairfax, this shop should definitely be added to your list of places to visit. read more

Totally unique garden boutique. Even my daughter and her girlfriends love this place and spend a lot of their hard earned allowance in this store. The store is full of beautiful plants and garden type gift items. Things you have probably never seen before or even considered until you experience them in this store. The jewelry is delightful. It's obvious to me that a lot of thought and care go into selecting the products they sell. The owners are lovely and always make you feel welcome in their space. If you are looking for a gift that is a little different, a little unique, and something that will be cherished and truly appreciated then shop here. You will not be disappointed. read more
