On site potting
Potting is a mess. Why not do it here? Pot your plants at our Potting Bar or leave the dirty deeds to us. We love to do custom arrangements as well!

There’s so much more to do here than buy plants.

Meet Fig & Fern
Fig is our sulcata tortoise and Fern is our beloved, feisty nursery cat. Yes, believe it, they are best friends. We also have turtles and fish and many frogs, and an aviary of adopted budgies.
