What a great little but mighty plant nursery in S.E. Portland Oregon…read more I used to live in this neighborhood and it has many hidden gems. Birds and Bees Nursery is one of them. I'm a member of Carnivorous Plants Society of Oregon and one of my things is finding places that sell Carnivorous Plants outside of the big box stores. Sure the big Home store has plenty of Venus Flytraps every year but it's a cruel thing to see a plant abused by employees who don't know how to care for such a plant. First of all this plant has 2. basic needs. 1. All the direct sunlight it can get. At least 12 hours a day. 2. Distilled Water or Rain water. To see this plant living inside the store on a shelf dries out is a difficult thing to see. If it is watered, Tap Water us what it's given. Tap water is a for sure slow death to a Venus Flytrap Plant. So in my search, I found a little nursery in the burbs. Next to a Taco Smell restaurant, full of all sorts of plants from vines to carnivorous plants. In my interest, they had Sundews, Picture Plants and a ton of Venus Flytraps all sitting in the full sun. I found what I thought was a good specimen and when I picked up and looked at the Venus Flytrap I wanted, I realized it was actually 3 small and one slightly larger Venus Flytrap plants in the same pot for (I'm pretty sure in right. I was so excited to find such an awesome plant that I kinda forgot and the receipt wasn't helpful.) $15.00. They're usually about $10.00 for a common Venus Flytrap plant. I basically bought 4 plants for $3.75 a piece. With such great prices, my wife found a couple plants she couldn't leave without. We both left Birds and Bees happy. Update on our plants. They're all thriving in their new home.

It takes nerves of steel to open a boutique business during a worldwide pandemic, but thankfully…read morePortland is receptive to businesses serving a well-defined niche like Larkspur Botanicals. It took me far too long to visit this delightful women-owned shoppe, but now that I have I will add it to my shortlist of Portland favorites. First off, the owners couldn't have picked a more appropriate setting for a plant shoppe. With a classic storefront with window displays on both sides of the entrance, the store takes on a nostalgic vibe of tradesperson shops of yesteryear. I love knowing I'm shopping small, locally owned businesses that make our communities vibrant and diverse. Now let's get to the plants... that's the reason we're here! There's quite a diverse selection of houseplants in such a small space... indeed, something for everyone. If you need to pop in quickly for a "Get Well" card and a miniature pot of African Violets, they've got it. If specialty plants are more your thing, you'll find everything from the sought after Monstera cultivars, cacti and succulents, to Anthurium and Begonias. In fact, given their regular delivery schedule, it sounds like they can special order pretty much anything you might need. I spent 15 minutes or so getting to know Kailia, one of the owners who is also a registered horticultural therapist. She's very friendly, knowledgeable, and a delightful addition to the neighborhood. She made a clumsy oaf like me feel extremely at ease in her adorable shoppe. Be sure to check out their very informative website, LarkspurPortland.com for lots of valuable resources, information on Horticultural Therapy, and a pretty good impression of the types of plants the have in stock. I'm a fan, and I'll continue coming back!

This is my second time to visit this business. The first time they had just opened and the woman…read morethat helped me was super nice and cool. Even though they had just opened, I loved the variety and vibe of the shop. I bought several items and couldn't wait to return. My second trip, the shop has definitely filled up and there was just so much to choose from. There was a different person in the shop. When I was ready to go...brought a cute cactus, hat and pot...I was surprised when I was told they don't plant . This is my first time being told that in a plant shop in PDX. I was offered a small ($3) or large bag of soil to purchase to do myself at home. Still glad I made the purchase and my cactus fits right in!

First things first, customer service. I messaged a couple of plant shops on Instagram asking…read morewhether they do repotting. Daphne's Botanicals was the only one to get back to me at all, and it was a prompt reply AND they followed up via email. They do offer a reporting service! For only five dollars! And they give you 10% off any pots you buy in the store, if you don't want to bring your own. This is a lifesaver for me, as I've learned to keep plants alive but historically repotting has not gone so well. I took in an incredibly long pothos that I got for free. The team at Daphne's Botanicals shared my excitement about the plant, welcomed me into the store, and quickly started on the repotting. I didn't have a pot but they gave a recommendation and I love how it turned out. While there, I browsed their product shelves and plants. It's a pretty small store, but their plants look happy and they've got some really cute planters and what they say is a really excellent plant food. They're also attached to a bakery so you can grab a little bite as well. Highly recommend this woman owned spot!

The business is located in a warehouse along 82nd. Not the best part of town and a busy street to turn into or off of. The inside smells funky, like wet soil and fertilizer.

Less than 24 hours before she was set to walk the stage, the company had lost the lei in transit. Leis mean a lot to our family, and we were left panicking and scrambling! Luckily this shop was able to get us 3 BEAUTIFUL orchid leis in just a few hours. Not to mention they were so sweet and understanding! My daughter was stopped several times walking to her car with people telling her how beautiful the leis were. We will forever be grateful for this business for their generosity and care. PLEASE visit these wonderful people for all your flower needs!

Oh my gosh! I stumbled upon this place because an old friend, Miranda, worked at a flower shop and…read moreI would see her post her bouquets on Facebook. I reached out because I needed a bouquet for my wedding and did not know a single thing about making one. She had me come in and speak with her and the owner to give an idea of what I would like. They patiently walked me through the whole process, brought out example flowers and showed me a very rough draft, but could not guarantee they could source the exact flowers at the time of the wedding. Well, when I picked up the bouquet it was everything I could've hoped for and more. Not only were they able to source the exact flowers they had showed me and I fell in love with, but they also got me pussy willows as requested. They really took a vague vision and turned it into reality and it turned out better than I could have ever imagined. Every employee was so friendly and helpful. They even let me take a vase with the promise of returning it, because I stupidly forgot my own! AND they made me a complimentary tossing bouquet. Ugh! Highly recommend. What a wonderful and affordable experience.

Had a very disappointing experience with Foster Feed. I went to the feed store seeking guidance…read morefrom this feed store from what I thought would be informed and helpful people. I explained at the time that I only have three chickens and was in need of a dewormer treatment. I was not informed that the product they suggested is intended only for significantly larger flocks totaling 264 lbs, and is not appropriate nor recommended for small-scale use. They completely misrepresented the product sold to me as usable for my smaller flock. When I attempted to return the item, which is unopened and I have the receipt, the store refused the return, stating a "no returns on medication" policy. However, this policy was not disclosed verbally at the time of purchase, not posted in the store, and not printed on the receipt. (Only a specific clause about final animal sales is printed on receipt, nothing pertaining to medications). Because I was not provided with accurate product guidance or informed of the return policy, I feel completely taken advantage of, as I was unable to make an informed purchase decision.
