I have been coming to this store for years, when they were in their first location in the North…read moreEnd. I even schlepped my ass to Brookline when they briefly moved there. Thankfully, they're back in a different area of the North End, still doing their thing of sustainable products. Maria (owner) & her staff + interns are amazingly friendly & helpful! There are probably eco-friendly things here you didn't even know you needed. It's great to be able to bring my empty glass jars or use theirs to get your refills. It's a simple & easy way to get whatever items you need, like body lotion, detergent, & other products. They also have an abundance of plants which is pretty cool. They even do a clothing swap & other events too, so you have to follow them to know when they're happening. The issue is that they're not always open when they're supposed to be which is unfortunate.

These fearless young women are making a sincere effort to challenge the way we live, to strive for…read moremore sustainable practices and to clear the path for the rest of us to make sustainable choices more easily too. I've tried ordering eco products online before and it's been hit or miss. I'm happy to have found a place where I can see things in real life before buying them and make sure they are durable and sized correctly for my needs, even try a toothpaste tablet from the sample container, and talk to real life people who have tried the products so I can find out what makeup remover to use with the bamboo pads and whether shampoo and conditioner bars will have a different feel than the liquid stuff. More bonuses: they are walking distance from the orange line, they said I can bring back empty containers and buy refills, and their plant nursery section is nice. They are a bit pricey, as should be expected with ethically sourced products, not to mention storefronts that pay rent in the North End. Most of what I bought will hopefully last long enough to more than pay for itself. I'll be back!

Well... this is not what I expected from the pictures. The entrance was confusing to find through…read moresome sheds, and once I got inside the plant room, it started to look more familiar. It was difficult to find plants that weren't damaged and in need of some serious TLC, although the prices were fairly decent for the Boston area. I would surely pay less locally, but I digress. Checking out was also a confusing process, and the store itself didn't feel very welcoming to customers as if the music was playing to make it seem like the employees couldn't talk. I probably wouldn't go here again unless I was looking for a cactus or succulent, and even then there's slim pickings.

They always have an excellent variety of plants! Indoor, outdoor, veggies, you name it.read more

The quality is top notch, the style options were more narrow than some other lines out there, but they have just enough options, IMHO. They brought the pieces we thought we wanted (and others as well, just in case) to our house, set them up, let us test them out and bing, bang, boom, we had our furniture! How easy is that? Easy to contact, easy to work with, same warranty, get it immediately. How do you go wrong??

We ended up with four beautiful new ones on our very first visit. Store is clean, laid out well and a pleasure to browse. The stools were "in" exactly when we were told they would be. The young man at the pickup door was very nice and really helped load our truck so the stools wouldn't get damaged on the ride home. So important that the last person you see at a business was just as nice as the first person. I would recommend them to anyone. Linda & Bill, Weymouth, Ma.
