Decided to go by today and check it out for myself after reading reviews, I did end up purchasing Cilantro for the season but also because I love to use it in my meals. I will say, they have a large variety of succulents which are my favorite but they are also a bit pricey. Not too expensive because I’ve seen “worse” although their prices aren’t “bad” I’d say it’s okay because the quality of their plants is outstanding. They’re also very educated on what they sell. They have a nice selection of pots! If you’re not looking for the average copper kind of color the only other options they have are 12+ which honestly is okay because they look great! I did check my cilantro once I got home, everything was great, soil, roots, perfection! I think I want to go back! After reading reviews, please do not buy a plant if you aren’t going to take proper care of it. Do not over water! Major cause of root rot & death of plant. Also, adequate sunlight is essential depending on...

I have bought quite a few plants at this store totaling at almost a grand.. the last plant I bought was overpriced at almost $300 but was beautiful and I decided to splurge .. . they delivered and potted it for me.

when I went to the store all they could tell me is that nothing they sell is under any sort of guarantee, and that I am pretty much screwed. even though I just bought this plant a few days before

if this was my first purchase at this store I would be a bit calmer - but being that I spent a lot of money there already I was expecting them to at least deal with the major problem they created and delivered to me.. horrible experience.

I will not buy there again and will try to warn people from...

I visited this shop for the first time to pick up a new plant for my bedroom. The gentleman working there helped me by recommending a few selections, albeit the selections were limited. I decided on a small snake plant and a clay plant saucer, which he indicated would be in total twenty dollars and some change. He even showed me the price input on the cash register. After I made the purchase on my card, I later realized that he had charged me a much higher price than what he originally showed me. It could have been a mistake, but it seems more like a sleazy move to get more $$ if you ask me. I will be going back to the shop tomorrow to request a refund and return the plant completely. There are plenty of other plant shops that have larger + healthier-looking selections and more honest service...
