Reading through some of the reviews below, I am slightly relieved that my experience was not entirely unique. I have visited this shop a handful of times in the past as I live close by, and the staff have been nonchalant at best. This time, I went with my partner near the end of March to purchase some plants and flowers for Nowruz (Persian New Year), and I felt as though we were being racially profiled. One staff member kept following us around, but was not at all helpful when asked for advice. In comparison, groups of white customers were left alone. I purchased a jasmine bush for my windowsill and it completely dried up within a week, even though the soil remained moist. Walking home, we stumbled upon a plant shop on Whitechapel Road (sort of opposite the Genesis Cinema) where the lady was so much kinder and friendlier, and the plants much more reasonably priced. Unfortunately, we didn’t buy anything because we had already spent our money at this place where we were treated with disdain.

Read moreThis tucked in shop is beautiful the array of plants on offer astounds. From tropical to normal house plants. They have a big selection of Bird of paradise plants and all are flowering.

Just across the road is the other half of the shop with more house plant selection. Also this side is more for those making terrariums and modelling airplants. Beautiful little place took my mum to buy a birthday plant and let’s say she went home very chuffed. Highly recommend...
