I was able to get everything I needed here for my tiny amateur container garden. This place has tons of herbs (the scent in their mint section is heavenly), an unexpectedly HUGE selection of peppers, basil, etc etc. Was also able to get some beets, tomato and cucumber plants. They have so many flowers and shrubs - I wasn't able to resist getting a beautiful hibiscus plant that reminded me of my Caribbean childhood. The staff was extremely knowledgeable - helped me plan my containers in such a way as to prevent overcrowding, helped me with soil selection and volume and the specifics of caring for my hibiscus. They carried everything to my car for me and packed the soil into my trunk. Any place that has dedicated parking always gets an extra point from me. They accept cards. Price is ok, not too $$$ but not the best prices ive ever seen but the place is convenient and I'm happy to support local.

I came in and was very upfront about wanting to spend a small amount for a nearly indestructable plant. The owner Jess was incredibly kind and patient despite making a minimal monetary transaction, and based on this interaction alone I will be returning for more plants down the line. The shop itself is quite twee and delightful, with a great selection of succulents and gifts that don't scream "you could get this stuff anywhere", which I appreciate.

On Sundays they often invite local small businesses to share their space and promote their products. I've gotten delicious cookies from here on one of those days. I love the tarot reader that stops by from time to time, excellent cooperation idea. I do suggest you all to visit the south Philly location as well. Not sure why they don't have a yelp page of their own despite ppl trying to add it time and time again.

A gentleman who was walking in asked if I had ever been in and I said no and headed in because he said it was nice. Atmosphere: bright and plantastic!

I am not a plant person and wanted to know which plants were kind of set it and forget it. She took me to the 3rd room called the "light adaptable room" They have beautiful planters and 2 other rooms with all different kinds of plants. They even make local deliveries l!

I will definitely be back!

They're both super knowledgeable and helpful every time I see them, whether at their shop or an event around Philly. I've been to their plant shop at least twice now and have purchased five plants from them. On my most recent visit, I picked up a Swiss Cheese Plant and a Crispy Wave Fern Plant. They have a decent selection of plants, along with other trinkets, merch, and plant care items. One of my favorite bigger plants I've purchased is the Pink Princess Philodendron. I've wanted this plant since the pandemic, and when I saw on social media that they had it, I traveled to their location to grab it! During the pandemic, this plant was in high demand and overpriced everywhere else, but at Plant & People, I felt the price for its size was reasonable. She's been with me for several months now and is thriving! I'm still learning how to be a plant mom and need help with repotting a few of my plants--which they also offer as a service. I enjoy coming here and grabbing a plant or two every time.

The place is popular, for very good reason. The nursery for garden plants and shrubs (with a speciality in native species) is also a great resource, particularly with Amanda's helpful advice.

The little tomatoes are the best thing I've had here. I don't know what's different about them but they almost have a slight sweetness. But really I've never gotten anything bad here. The Bread loafs they have are great. The pizza dough is too. You just need to use it and not let it explode in the fridge. I did that. More than once. I'm an idiot. Everyone that works the stand is super nice and helpful. They are always down to make suggestions on how to use what you buy. Now my favorite part is the coffee. They rotate their small coffee companies. Not sure if it's on purpose but I love it. It's a great way to sample local coffee shops. Sometimes it's out front with a truck and sometimes it's out back with a tent. In the back there is a small area you can sit and hang. We can't get enough of this place AND YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO.

I asked if there any places nearby that might have some, to which he says "not in this area." A quick mapping showed me one three minutes away where they were very kind and helpful. Kid was pretty rude off the bat as well. I'd recommend anyone actually needing flowers (lol) to go to Rothe Florists down the street. They were extremely kind, crazy cheap, and the bouquet was beautiful. I would add a photo but do not want people to assume it was from this store.

The staff are knowledgeable and friendly. The plant prices are comparable to other nurseries, a little more than the big box stores. You get better quality and personalized service. The garden is much bigger than it seems. It is worth a stop even if you're not buying plants!

I explained over the phone what I was looking for and the lady quickly choose a stunning arrangement bursting with bold hues and unique textures. From the moment I stepped into the shop, I was greeted with a warm smile and the intoxicating scent of fresh blooms--perfect for lifting spirits or celebrating a special occasion. The flowers were impeccably fresh, thoughtfully arranged, which speaks volumes about their quality. What truly stood out was the attention to detail; every petal seemed meticulously placed, and the bouquet came wrapped in beautiful, eco-friendly packaging. Whether you're surprising a loved one or treating yourself, this flower shop goes above and beyond to deliver artistry and joy. I'll definitely be returning for future floral needs--and recommending them to everyone I know! Thank you for spreading beauty with such passion!

I've stopped buying plants from Pomelo for years thinking maybe it was just me doing something wrong but I recently bought a plant and after 4 weeks this is how it ended up. When I popped over to the shop to see if she could give me some advice (the open sign was visible so I assumed she was open but I guess she wasn't), Caitlin didn't even let me in her store, she said "well I don't know what you want me to do", and she didn't even inspect the plant. She treated me as if I was a threat to her. Speaking to some other folks in my neighborhood she had apparently treated them the same way. I don't think she really cares for the patronage of Black people even though she sits in the middle of a very Black neighborhood. She keeps her doors locked during business hours and seems to be developing a reputation of being nasty to customers, specifically Black customers based on my chats and some of her other reviews. With the poor customer service and the low quality plants/ flowers it may not be worth the cost.

You can't miss the HUGE colorful mural on the outside in the parking lot, but the RE itself is on the right side. Conveniently located by a 3 bus stop as well. I was in the market for some postcards and other papercraft supplies and brought some scrapbook paper I knew I wouldn't use with me to donate as well. The staff was very nice and organized. After seeing the true breadth of all of the various materials sold at the RE, I will definitely bring more miscellaneous craft stuff with me to donate next time. Have to make room for new stuff! I was able to purchase some postcards (they were 50 cents each or 3 for $1), a container to hold some of my other materials, and a set of Dublin stickers, all for $15 flat. Cannot stress enough how AFFORDABLE stuff is. In general I would say go in to look around and not want anything too specific, especially on a busy day like a Saturday, because it was a bit crowded. But they had materials truly for all typees of crafts: fabric, knitting, sewing, painting, papercrafts, jewelry, woodworking... as well as larger materials. Really affordable and hope to get the word out about this place! There are two gender-neutral restrooms located in the lobby of the building as well as part of the shared space.
