⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A plant lover’s paradise in the Northern Quarter Nice Things is hands-down one of the best independent shops in Manchester. Tucked away on Oldham Street in the creative Northern Quarter, it’s a bright, design-led plant shop packed with greenery, stylish pots, and accessories that feel more like a curated interior showroom than a store.  The range is impressive — from tiny succulents to huge statement plants and even rare varieties — so whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned collector, there’s something for you.  The staff are genuinely knowledgeable and always happy to give advice, which makes browsing feel relaxed and welcoming rather than intimidating.  Customers often mention how friendly and helpful the team are, with one reviewer describing it as a “plant lovers paradise” and praising how often the stock changes so each visit feels fresh.  If you’re into houseplants or just want a feel-good shop to wander around, this place absolutely lives up to its name.

I attended the terrarium making workshop. Connor was a fantastic guide and host, very enthusiastic and supportive. Fantastic workshop, well worth it.

What a fantastic experience! We were gifted a Terrarium Workshop for Christmas last year, and booked ourselves in. The staff are super friendly and charming, it’s a great activity for any experience level. We had some questions about some other house plants we have, and Connor was really helpful and recommended some solutions for us (as well as a restaurant, which was also incredible). 10/10 recommend the workshop as a wholesome, screen-free activity. Get yourself booked in, you won’t regret it. Thanks again for a great evening. Jen & Iain

I'm generally quite useless with plants (ask my husband I have drowned a cactus before) but I wanted some more life in our home. Gaz helped me pick a nice low maintenance monstera and explained how to care for it. Fingers crossed it doesn't meet the same fate as that poor cactus 🤞🏼 thanks so much!!
