Sergio is wonderful and knows any and everything about every plant. I love having him as my plant consultant! His care and thoughtfulness towards every customer is palpable, he has such a knack for knowing what you need and pointing you in the right direction. Do not skip plant play!!

This guy knows his plants. Will most definitely be going back for more. Too many cool things. Very unique pots and plants. I bought two plants; don't ask me the names; I just really liked the colors and shapes.

The plants here are high quality. We came for plant food which they don't carry. But the shop is very nice and the owner shared some helpful information on how to care for the plants we have at home.
