East Harlem is lucky to have this local Urban Garden Center for plants nearby, under the Metro…read moreNorth on Park Avenue. I'm not normally buying plants or plant-related products because the only success I've had in my apartment is one type of succulent (the Hobbit Jade Plant) that seems to thrive no matter what. That being said, I wanted to combine two separate plants into one pot on my window sill and needed the soil and a rectangular planter. Note - The only rectangular planters I saw were plastic, the soil was pricy compared to Home Depot, and an additional Hobbit Jade Plant was pricier there than what I've seen elsewhere. That being said, there may be other items competitive in price or not available elsewhere... plus (at least for me) it's convenient. Plus, it sells items like soil in smaller quantities, which may be convenient for people with small apartments. Recommend coming and checking Urban Garden Center out, including its chickens both in the hen house and roaming around free range!

Avoid this business!!!: UGC justifies bad behavior without apology. Customers are not respected,…read morefrom rude staff answering the phone with attitude, lack of communication regarding stated arrival time, to poor installation of plants that is not done with accepted standard practice of professional gardeners for the health of plants. Also, the plants that cost me a couple of thousand dollars had many broken branches because the workers rushed to install them. They also want payment up front before any delivery/installation/scheduling. It was a horrible and stressful experience. Informing the owner of my experience resulted only in his making excuses for USG's bad actions with no apology whatsoever. ***And because I posted my review, the owner Dimitri vindictively told me that he would no longer stand behind the plants or the work done to make things right. He didn't like my honest review. Prior to my review, he was willing to make right his failures, if needed. It is disappointing that UGC is unable to acknowledge its mistakes or shortcomings, and that they do not know how to interact with customers.

Hiro is as kind and helpful as always - I observed him giving good plant recommendations to other customers.

A seriously amazing plant shop with incredibly kind & intelligent owners!…read more I went to Living with Green for a bunch of plants. I knew the places at home I wanted them, but wasn't sure what type of plants I needed. The store was busy, but the owners still gave each and every person attention. One of the owners walked me through each & every plant that may suit my home, and then the other owner helped pick out pots for them & plant them. They had really good variety for other plant stores I've been to. There were plenty of succulents & all sorts of hanging plants to choose from. They even had super cheap plant clippings if you want to grow your own. They also had a wide variety of pots & other cute things for plant lovers like notebooks & stickers. Their prices were also on par with other plant stores (I think). I ended up with 3 plants and 3 beautiful pots for only $130 which I thought was great! The owners are a married couple and know so much and were so happy to share their knowledge. They even told me I could DM the Living with Green Instagram or come back into the shop anytime my plants looked unhealthy or I had a question!! It made my day to visit this shop. I can't wait to buy more plants someday so I can come back

During New York's recent heatwave--when the sidewalks felt like stovetops and my apartment doubled…read moreas a slow cooker--Max Pro Hardware came through like a local oasis armed with Freon and human decency. We walked in desperate, mildly sweaty, and fully unprepared. Thankfully, the staff could not have been more kind or gracious. Instead of rushing us through or upselling the flashiest unit, they took the time to explain which AC models would actually work for our apartment, asking thoughtful questions and offering smart, no-frills advice. They treated our overheated panic with a level of calm expertise that felt borderline saintly. And then--like a plot twist in the feel-good summer movie version of our lives--they offered free delivery. In a city where carrying a baguette on the subway feels excessive, having an air conditioner delivered to your door? That's five-star service with a side of mercy. The store itself is packed with exactly what you need and nothing you don't, which is the hallmark of any great neighborhood hardware shop. It's not about flash--it's about function, heart, and knowing that someone's got your back when the temperature hits "should we just move?" In short: Max Pro Hardware isn't just a place to buy tools and appliances--it's a place that reminds you good service and human kindness still exist, even in the middle of a heatwave. Forever grateful, forever cool.
