I woke up this morning (it's a beautiful Sunday in Miami as I write this) and thought, "it's time…read moreto go plant shopping." After countless mornings waking up in a bedroom lacking greenery, I googled best plant shops in Miami. Many of the newer more popular stores came up but then so did Galloway Farm Nursery. For as long as I can remember, this nursery has been around and therefore I stuck with the tried and true. Perhaps it was the sense of familiarity that ultimately drew me to Galloway--a welcoming, unstuffy, old faithful that made me feel confident to plant shop despite my shortcomings with plants themselves. But when I got there, I quickly realized that the comfort I felt walking in was solidified by the assistance I received. Eavesdropping on another customer and team member, I could hear that the gentleman assisting was well versed in all things plants. I mean, one would hope that is the case, but you never know these days. If you're like me, sometimes you have trouble asking for help. But I wanted a big plant, damnit! And there was no way I would be able to physically lift the one I wanted on my own. After mustering up the courage to ask for help, I got so much more than that. I got information, I got recommendations, I got educated, and I even got help re-potting my plant. I'm not sure this is a regular service offered, however because it was very slow when I went the person was glad to help me. All of that being said, I left with the perfect low-light plants for my home for an unbeatable price. They even helped me put it in my truck. The value here is totally worth it. And then I realized....how the hell am I going to get these inside my house alone? LOL! Practical things to note: ample parking available, deliciously cool orchid room for those unbearably hot days, lots of cute cats hanging around. Galloway Farm Nursery is a must-try!

They have a really beautiful variety of plants to choose from, along with pots and patio/yard decor. Prices were reasonable, as well. The biggest thing that stuck out to me was the service, though! As I started bringing some of my selections to the front I heard them call someone to help. When I returned with the rest of my items there was someone ready with a cart, who loaded the items on and then escorted me to my car. Then, what really wowed me was he actually had a sheet of plastic to line my trunk with! Like, wow! I was so impressed. I really liked that extra touch, as I keep my car spic and span. The employees were so polite and helpful, and service like this is really hard to find in Miami nowadays. Very impressed!! Thank you!

Midtown Garden Center, is a lovely little sanctuary located in one of the busiest areas in the city. Yes, parking might be difficult, and yes, the area isn't exactly "walkable" but once you arrive you're transported to a beautiful little rainforest with pots, plants, blooms, succulents, and even smoothies to satisfy your cravings on a hot and sunny day. I love coming here and asking the team what they would recommend for a rookie plant gal like myself. The team is always extremely sweet and helpful. Always a fresh breath of air walking in here!

The selection for indoor and outdoor plants is excellent. I've bought a number of plans for myself over the years, but have also bought some nice gifts for people. Most importantly, the staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. They can always find you exactly what you're looking for and do a great job at potting for you. I am one of those stereotypical people who does an amazing job at killing plants, but everything that they have recommended for me has been spot on over the years.

While I didn't buy anything from this place (which means that I really should have given this place…read morea neutral rating of 3 stars), I had to give it 4 stars simply for the ambience I enjoyed. This is probably the only store on main street South Miami's Sunset Drive that is actually open-aired besides the mammoth commercialized mall down the street that consists of many air conditioned stores. The fact that everything looked green and very accessible, I had to walk in and around to see the goods. I love gardening and all things green, and I was not sure what to expect in the small downtown South Miami since most stores tend to be... well... small. Thankfully, I kept my expectations small - don't come here expecting to buy herbs (okay okay, I did expect to see herbs, unfortunately). This stores specializes on orchids, bromeliads and unique containers for your favorite plants. They have some containers that would look nice in the balcony as well as rows of good looking orchids. It is definitely a green haven in downtown South Miami. Star off for having most things on the pricey side, and for having little else other than orchids and containers - it should have been called Orchid Gate, not Garden Gate.

This time of year, they are packed with poinsettias and orchids. The rest of the year would be all native flora, gardening accessories and tools.

From the start, Roberto really listened to what I wanted. I shared photos of the design I was going for, including my preference for agave and succulent-style plants, and he did an exceptional job sourcing and selecting the perfect ones. He started on a Wednesday and had everything completed by Friday. His labor costs were very fair, and the quality of work truly exceeded my expectations. I was initially a bit hesitant since there were no prior reviews, but I'm so glad I gave him a chance--he absolutely delivered. The finished project looks incredible during the day, but what really impressed me was how beautiful it looks at night with the lighting. It completely transformed the space. I would definitely recommend Roberto's Lawn Care to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality landscaping work.
