This is one of my favorite places in the area. I love coming here even when I don’t intend on spending any money. It’s a lovely place to walk around, especially in the winter. If you’re getting those wintry blues the staff is so accommodating and kind they have helped me complete multiple projects with odds and ends that they did not have to sell me, but chose to anyways. This is not just a plant store. This place is filled with community and love.
