As a notorious plant killer, I was skeptical to spend any more money on a plant. But a friend…read morebought me one for my birthday (from landmark plant co.) and I managed to keep it alive 1.5 years so I figured it had to speak volumes to their business. I had some pots from Anthropologie and other various places I was itching to fill with plants. Landmark will do that for you for a very small (reasonable) potting fee, which kind of made the process even more fun. The few times I've been in the store, the staff have been very knowledgeable about plant varieties and care. And in addition to my birthday plant, I've gotten 4 more of my own plants and another for part of a baby shower present. In addition to a wide variety of plants, they also have cards and other gifts. Love this store!

I also picked up a stunning foxglove plant for Mother's Day, and it made such a lovely gift. She loves gardening and was asking me for a plant that had flowers and looked wild. I was also stressed over finding florals for our small wedding ceremony. At some florists, a simple wedding bouquet was well over $100. Here, they were able to give me exactly what I was looking for just under our budget of $100. The ladies here are so sweet and you can tell that they care about what they do. Their work is creative, natural, and full of heart. I highly recommend them for both everyday and special occasions!

Make sure you give yourself enough time when planning on getting therWe found some street parking a couple blocks away and walked. Our instructor, Aurora, did a quick demo and then we were left to create our pieces. We had 3 balls of clay (give or take a half pound each ball) to work with and you get one free piece firing included with the class, and additional pieces to fire are $10 each. It's pretty autonomous but if you need help the instructor is there to assist you. After you create your pieces, you pick a glaze and then clean up the work station. The class is 90 minutes and it goes by quick, time flies when you're having fun!! ---- Overall: had a fantastic time creating pieces that will hopefully be functional ware, a great date idea, I can't wait to be back and try out their open studio times

At first glance, it looks like an adorable plant…read moreshop, but they also host ceramic wheel-throwing classes, which my boyfriend and I decided to try--and I'm so glad we did. Our class was on a really nice day, and for a super reasonable price, we got 1.5 hours on the wheel, which felt like the perfect amount of time. The wheel throwing class is either indoors (behind the plant shop) or in the back (half exposed garage). We were in the back and it was a good amount of space for our group of 4 people. There were more couples next to us as well. Also, I loved that they allow you to bring outside drinks to enjoy while creating, making it a fun and relaxed experience. Our instructor was great--attentive when needed but also gave space to explore at your own pace. This wasn't our friend time on the wheel, but we were with friends who were new to wheel-throwing, so he assisted when needed. I can't wait to see our finished ceramic pieces! Whether you're a plant lover, an aspiring ceramicist, or just looking for a unique experience, Botanica is definitely worth checking out. After your session, it's a good excuse to explore the streets of OB - especially on a very sunny day. I'll definitely come back another time.

They have a very robust Social Media presence specifically on Instagram, and they always post when they have restocks, tips & tricks, as well as giveaways (I hope I win one soon!). A lot of their prices are pretty reasonable as well! Their shop has expanded greatly, to include potting also for all their adorable plants and other decor... I recently bought a cute moon wall hanging. I definitely recommend them to anyone who asks, purely for the convenience of having them delivery for free, also they are VERY receptive and friendly and willing to give advice if you plant care questions. Last but not least they have the cutest chief plant coordinator: COHEN! Check them out, they are amazing!

My mini monstera and swiss cheese plants were the first two plants I ordered from IvyMay. Happy would be an understatement with my first time experience with IvyMay. I was blown away! Communication with delivery was timely and easy. I love the free local delivery service. I was hooked and recently bought more plants on two separate occasions. The prices are relatively comparable to a store like Pigment and much lower than some of the boutique plant shops in the North Park area, but the quality has always been top notch. One look at the soil and all the new growth on every plant from IvyMay and you'll know what I mean (if you're a plant lover). Best part about IvyMay is the TLC with the plant from before it's delivered to the time it gets to your door. I've been weary about longer distance plant delivery, but IvyMay makes delivery easier and better than an in store experience. I'm looking forward to adding more plants to my collection from IvyMay.
