Tansy — Local services in Burbank

There is one word I would use to describe Tansy...enchanting.

It's like walking into a fairytale or the welcoming home of a well traveled friend. Honestly, I didn't want to leave. I wanted to live there.

Just parking at one of the residential streets I was greeted by beautiful floral murals on the wall.

When I walked into the outdoor patio, there were plants everywhere, seating, and a little coffee and pastry truck.

When I walked into the store, it was like a continuation of the outside with flowers and lights hanging from the ceiling.

Meanwhile, the merchandise itself is noticeably hand selected for its beauty and/or cuteness.

The prices are reasonable. For the most part each item I personally looked at was around $20.

I even took a reusable shopping bag with me just in case, but since my apartment is small and anything I bring into it needs to be utilitarian, as much as I wanted to come home with something, I didn't actually buy anything.

Like there was this coconut bowl that had a lovely floral lacquered painting in the interior. It was the first thing I picked up and I even went back to it a second time before I was about to leave. It was only around $17, but I couldn't bring myself to actually buy it because where would I put it? What would I use it for? I can't put cereal in it because it would ruin the painting. I can't throw keys into it because, again, it would ruin the painting. I would have it simply to have it and look at it.

Which is a proper summary of this store:

If you're looking for cute, affordable tchotchkes to fill your home with and you have the room, this place is for you.

If you're good with keeping plants alive and you have the space for them, this place is for you.

Otherwise, if you're like me, the best you can do is enjoy the wonderful atmosphere of this place and admire all the lovely...

The Service: The owner, Shawna, definitely leads a great team! All her staffs are super friendly & helpful. Hearing how she started her business, so inspiring! I could feel her passion & love for her business.

The Workshop: Personally, I have no green thumbs at all! But Shawna gave very detailed instruction how to put together a personal terrarium. It seems challenging just looking at the plants & all kinds of decorations on the table. But all the staffs were right there to assist us and also all of them were so encouraging!! Yes, I feel so proud that I created my first ever terrarium~ I felt like a big kid back to school for arts & craft class. Love it!

It is awesome that they do this kind of workshop as private event too. This would be a fabulous idea for bachelorette party, birthday party or just a fun family/friends get together outing!

They have a very spacious outdoor area surrounded by beautiful plants. So relaxing & soothing!

The Parking: Street...

I absolutely adore this place, it is wonderful and magical. The only thing is that I bought some plants today, and they seem to be under watered. My watermelon peperomias leaves were curled and drooping, and the soil was bone dry. Same for my chinese evergreen's leaves and soil. My peperomia's leaves also has some white spotting that I believe is white mold (a plant disease). I had never seen the plants there in this condition before so I just believe some employee was most likely slacking off on the watering and care of the plants. Other that this mishap, I love this place. I go there almost every week just to look around. The employees are kind and friendly and everything there is great. I just don't know if I should return my sick plants in place of new, healthier ones. Whoever looks over these reviews to respond to their customers, I would appreciate if you could tell me the answer to that question....
