Curated selection and staff is so friendly and knowledgeable. All the plants I purchase here were well cared for and are still thriving months later!
I visited the shop for the first time today with my two young children, and I was so impressed with the level of patience and care that the person working took when answering all of my children’s many, many questions! We bought our first carnivorous plant. We will definitely be back.
I wish I could give this store more than five stars. My wife took one of their terrarium classes and brought home a beautiful little terrarium. I was so impressed I just had to go to the store to check it out for myself. Well....a little over a month later I went full send and decided to put together a large terrarium! Jeff was absolutely instrumental in getting the project off of the ground. scaping the entire terrarium and offering tips on plant placement. The owner Carlos made it super easy to schedule a time to come in and get the help I needed even stopping in himself to offer advice and care tips he has gained with his large terrariums. Jeff is incredibly knowledgeable in all the plants at the store and most importantly is an AMAZING teacher and took the time to explain in a way I could easily understand. I left feeling absolutely confident in my ability to take care of these amazing plants. They have an amazing plant selection with new products regularly coming in. My wife and I like to stop by at least once a week to check everything out. Whenever we go there we are treated like good friends and left with a great feeling. RUN do not walk to the store and check it out today!
I went to this plant store about 4 months ago. The owner was extremely knowledgeable and helpful, even repotted one of my newly purchased plants. This was my first time owning carnivorous plants, I ended up with 2 sundews and 2 butterworths, and my plant gnat problem has significant decreased. All of my carnivorous plants are thriving, one of them has already doubled in size, I moved it to its own container, and it has grown flowers about a foot away from where the plant is to reach the sunlight!!! It really speaks to how great the plants were already being cared for, and the owner explained exactly how to care for them.
Small and quaint with loads of plants. Duo takes their time and really treat every single living plant. Above all else, the hospitality of the two gentlemen working today earned a 5+ rating. They took their time teaching potential customers how to properly maintain a plant. Their genuine passion is exhibited through their work. #raregreenthumbs
