Knowledgeable friendly small businesses. I have been adding more plants because I miss them when summer ends. I also love the healing benefits of them. Cleaner air, natural humidity to combat dry indoor air the list goes on. Plus these look beautiful and the prices are nice. I got rewards points top so I get $5 off my next plant purchase 🌿🪴🌱

Life is Succulent did an amazing job creating potted plant arrangements for the centerpieces at my wedding in June! I provided them with a budget and a little direction on the pots I liked and a couple plants I was looking for, and they ran with it! The plants looked amazing for the wedding and we wanted something that we could use in our house after our big day, so this was a perfect alternative to cut flowers. Thank you to the Life is Succulent team for helping bring our vision to life!

This is a cool little place that specializes in (not surprisingly) succulent plants, but they also have locally made ceramics (mostly for holding plants), resin art (containing plants), and some cool artwork (mostly themed around plants or incorporating them). I can't speak to the value of the plants vs the pricing, but the plants looked healthy and the staff seemed really knowledgeable about care, treatment, and preventative measures (in the case I overheard, about gnats in old soil that a customer used for potting). They do have a big tented area behind the store, but it was empty when we visited, so I suspect that they do some of their classes as outdoor events when the weather is nicer.

Fun little weekend stop with the family! Got to pick a pot, plant and they even drilled the pot and planted it for us. Very helpful staff, huge selection, all very healthy and beautiful. Will definitely be back to take one of their classes!

One of my favorite plant shops! The plants are beautiful, well-cared-for and reasonably priced. The shop is clean, organized and super cute. The staff is warm, helpful and knowledgeable. Very pleasant shopping experience even on "Shop Small Saturday" when they were packed. I love that the shop gives back to the community by supporting local causes and I definitely appreciate the generous discounts, shopping incentives and reward points they offer. You can tell this shop values and appreciates their customers, community and craft. ❤
