Norfolk County Feed and Seed — Local services in Portsmouth

This is my favorite plant nursery! Walking in is like entering a tropical paradise. It’s got a homey, small-town atmosphere with very friendly staff. There’s always a good selection of plants. Mostly tropical houseplants, so your usuals like pothos and philodendrons. Some hard-to-keep houseplants like alocasias, but plenty of easy-care plants like snake plants. Everything is always so, so healthy. The plants are always well watered, and many sport plenty of new growth. Hardly any brown leaves to be seen on the plants in this store. Everything is so well cared for. The prices are my favorite part. Plants in three-inch pots are very cheap, and this place gives you plenty of bang for your buck. The pots are always packed with plenty of growth. Nothing is sparsely filled at all. The prices on rarer plants are quite good too, and it’s enjoyable to come in every so often to see the new arrivals. When you enter, they keep cardboard trays that make transporting plants a breeze. There’s a nice selection of terracotta pots available that lend themselves well to craft projects, or for folks who like something a little more upscale than the standard plastic planter. This place has everything a budding houseplant parent could ask for. Whether you’d like a small nursery starter, a hanging plant, or something big that’ll take up plenty of floor space. Every shopping experience here has been pleasant, and I can’t wait to visit again! The cashier is also incredibly sweet and very helpful! If you’re looking for your next houseplant, you’ve...

I've been coming here for years and I hope they never close. Everyone is friendly and helpful. They're not just helpful enough to get you to buy stuff or more stuff. They're actually knowledgeable beyond just a few products. Did I mention friendly? The other thing that keeps me coming back... variety!!!! They have a superb selection, especially for vegetable garden variety. I've covered my entire flower and edible garden needs there, without fail. Last year they helped me plan my perennial garden and everything has bloomed beautifully. This year we expanded to include container gardens so we could have even more veggies and they helped with that, too. This is the best spot for beginners and well seasoned pros. I love...

If you’re looking for a quaint, old-school seed store as well as garden center, this is it! Employees are extremely helpful and welcoming, and the place feels like you step back in time a little. They have all sorts of goods — browse awhile and find local honey, candy, and pickles, canning supplies, old-fashioned oil lamps, and all kinds of garden needs with a beautiful, healthy plant selection even in January! Pricing is decently competitive with big box stores, and veggie seeds were actually cheaper in my opinion with a nice selection available. Please give them a try as you prepare for spring gardening and skip the...
