Idyll Mercantile — Local services in Santa Barbara

I’m a local in town and this is one of my favorite businesses in Santa Barbara (maybe even my number one!) All of my plants are from here and the plant care tips from the shop owner/associate have helped me keep them thriving. I’m in a small apartment but what I call my “little jungle” is thriving thanks to them and their plant products. It’s also my go-to place for gifts for my friends because Idyll has lots of local/california-based products to choose from. I have earrings/candles/mugs/pots from them and love it all. There are really awesome sales if you follow the instagram too - you can get some rad products for a great value. It’s the cutest shop, with the kindest owner, and a great place to support women and spend your...

Idyll Mercantile is the best and cutest plant shop ever! Every time I walk in, it’s like a little burst of happiness. There are so many plants to choose from and they are all so well cared for — you can tell everything in there is picked with love.

I’ve gotten a lot of plants from here and they’re all thriving (which, for me, is saying something!). The people working there are always super sweet and helpful and answer any questions you have.

It’s impossible to leave without picking up a little something extra — they have the best candles, cards, and little home goodies too. The perfect place for a gift for a friend or yourself!

I can’t say enough about how amazing this place is. What Hannah has created there is special. There are amazing plants, and plant care items, and not only that, but there is always very knowledgeable staff that can help you find what you need for the environment you have. I struggled with house plants for so long until I got the tips from this store. The shop always has amazing gifts and cards as well. The vibe or the store always put me in a great mood. The community connection proves that a “plant shop” can be much much more when there is thoughtful intention behind it. Don’t think twice about swinging by, grab a plant you won’t regret it, or grab some small items made by local artisans. 10/10...
