Oh my, where to start! I am obsessed with this place and have bought more plants in the past few weeks than I have in my entire pre-Tansy life of 38 years. Tansy is dangerously located across the street from my work building and down the street from the pot shop.;) The variety of plants, gifts, housewares, and greeting cards is sublime, and they even have options for your furry friends (my biggest purchase yet was an adorable cat bed)!

Adding a warm and comfortable feeling to the store, there is a great variety in assorted sizes along with fun planters to pot them into. There is also an upstairs area where you'll find kitchen and linen items, too. I cannot attest to the greatness of this particular area today, but I do plan to visit it next time. The Dexter Avenue location is easily accessible via Aurora Ave North or South bound, along with quick access from Fremont. Street parking, not sure if there is parking specifically for the building. At bus #62 stops just a...

One of the highlights for me was their beautiful succulent arrangements, along with the opportunity to create my own. Tansy truly brings the vibrant colors of nature indoors, combining elements from around the world to create a joyful and lively atmosphere.

The shop also hosts a variety of nature-themed events, such as fairy garden planting parties, dinosaur and dragon parties, living wall and wreath design classes, sustainable living workshops, and girls night out...
