Christy Webber Farm & Garden is a fantastic plant shop and garden center in Chicago, known for its incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and helpful staff. The team radiates warmth and enthusiasm, providing clear and comprehensive answers to all questions about plant care, potting, and troubleshooting. They offer great customer service, including assistance with carrying heavy loads and expertly tying items like Christmas trees to cars.
The store is well-organized, clean, and categorized by plant species and pot color.

The best native plant selection in Chicago I've found. That said, it's hit and miss with how knowledgeable the staff is. Some know their stuff and other seem oblivious.
