TL;DR/The Short Version:
Cute little plant and flower shop on the eastern edge of Wellington West/Hintonburg. Lots of air plants!
The Long Version:
I was in search of some air plants and did a quick online search and found that Wild Willy's had a large selection. I thought that was awesome since they are within walking distance from my home. I've walked by the store many times, but have never gone in until my recent visit.
As soon as I entered the store, I saw the large selection of air plants (Tillandsia). Everything is clearly marked with the species and the price. I like that. I ended up getting a Capitata Raspberry Enhanced (meaning it's sprayed with a pink floral tint) for $14, an Ionantha Mexico Mini for $4 and a Bulbosa Guatemala for $6. I wanted different ones with distinctly different looks. I am thrilled with my plants. I put them in a glass bowl with some river stones I bought at Michaels and they are so pretty.
There was a single staff member working when my husband and I visited the store. He greeted us but let us browse uninterrupted, which I appreciated.
They sell lots of plants and flowers. I noticed some seashells and soap by the cash register too. They also have lots of succulents, including Living Stones (which I had to look up because I had no idea what the heck Living Stones were, lol. They were by the cash register and literally looked like stones, haha).
The man working there was courteous during checkout and he carefully placed all the plants into a paper bag and put some tissue paper on top. The only thing is when we got home we realized we were overcharged by $2 :( Wished we had realized that at the store. Oh well.
I would return if I was in need of plants. But I'll pay more attention at checkout next time.
I don't think they have any parking spots for customers, so likely just street parking.
