This place was great! Caroline graciously showed us around and helped us find a couple great plants for my Dad's birthday.

Thank you Caroline & Lily for great service! I walked in not knowing anything about plants and left educated and excited to start my plant mom journey. I was also purchasing plants for my dad's birthday and Caroline sugested the chocolate smelling flower - which he loved! read more

I had came in not sure what to expect and full of questions about some help I needed for a plant. Lilly was more than helpful, she had really gone above to answer my questions thoroughly and leaving me space still to look around. I had gone in thinking I had needed new soil for plant, I was able to explain the entire situation and left with extra knowledge that I didn't have and not being push to purchase something I didn't need. She help guide me in a direction of a new plant I was searching for and again help me with a heap of information to make sure she grows with the correct environment. I could not be more happier with my experience and if you go in, search out Lilly. read more

Gorgeous store! Kind and knowledgeable staff as well. The selection is fairly broad and their solarium was so pretty! The tropical and cacti selections were my favorite! Definitely worth a visit! read more

What a gorgeous store with a marvelous variety of products. If I wasn't getting on a plane, I would've cleared them out of their inventory. Healthy plants, cute accessories, books, tote bags, gems, pots, & more. "More" includes CHICKENS! Not for sale, but definitely for greeting & observing. The non-plant items skewed pricey, but the plants seemed to be priced very fairly. I was taken aback at the price of the gorgeous, fully fenestrated Monstera Albo. I don't remember exactly what the price was, but I remember it being at least half the price of the Albo I have at home & at least twice the size. Even just for an afternoon stroll through the plants, Pistils is definitely worth the stop. read more

Thank you Lily for transplanting my grandmother's Hoya Casnosa, I really appreciate it!!!

Such a beautiful and quaint plant nursery! Variety of plants at average/above-average prices, with a price range for all. The greenhouse area is very lovely, and gave me the feeling of a mini botanical garden. There is a cute watering and planting station in the greenhouse area, which was creatively designed and a charming addition to the nursery. It was raining the day we visited, but the outdoor area looked plentiful. Also to note: we visited during the winter (December), so the plant options may have varied. My sister purchased a plant, and at checkout, the employee gave her a little card regarding care, which was shows Pistils' attention to detail to plants even after sale! Both employees were knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly during our visit. Overall, a delightful spot to visit, even if you don't have an agenda to purchase plants. To put plainly and clichély, this place is good vibes. read more

Pistils Nursery - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Origin: Pistils Nursery was founded in 2001 by Megan Twileger. Reminiscent of western false facade structures, Megan built the flagship store on an empty lot, envisioning Pistils to be a resource for urban gardeners and farmers. Concept: Over the years Pistils Nursery has morphed and expanded. No longer populated by chickens, the nursery is now primarily oriented towards the use of houseplants in interior design. Pistils Nursery takes on the perspective that houseplants are art, and curates houseplants that amplify this view. To complement this vision, Pistils Nursery sells unique containers, and offers interior design services as well. Outdoor garden plants are also available for purchase. Experience: I have made a pilgrimage to Pistils Nursery with each visit to Portland in order to purchase one of the unique containers and houseplants. Employees are helpful and offer detailed care instructions for transport as well as home maintenance. Interior design with houseplants has since returned as a hot trend, and Pistils Nursery remains at the forefront. Tips: Pistils Nursery has a blog on its website that serves as a resource to educate about houseplants, as well as workshops. There is a second location further north on Raleigh Street. This location has shorter hours of operation. Gift cards are available for purchase. Not in the Portland area? An online shop offers a small selection of houseplants and containers for delivery. read more

The store is beautiful! Caroline was super kind and helpful! I will definitely come back!

Pistils is a dream, especially their Mississippi location! Everyone is so friendly and the whole place is clean and tidy. I especially love how involved the employees are. On Sunday, I came by with a friend to browse. A gal working showed us around and shared some of her favorites with us. One plant she loved wasn't in bloom, but she showed us photos of it's last bloom so we could get a good idea of what it looks like at it's best. You could tell she really enjoyed her job. The chickens in the back are also adorable. We didn't leave with anything this time, but we'll definitely be back for some healthy plants and good vibes! read more

I came into the Mississippi location this past weekend for help with an ailing jade plant and had the best experience Shelly!

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Just an incredibly cool little shop. Caroline and Shelly were absolutely wonderful.

I've had my Monstera for 6 years and she wasn't looking too good. I was worried I would lose her and brought it into Pistil's for a repot and restake. Caroline helped me get my plant looking so much better and also gave me tons of good info on how to keep her healthy!! read more

Yes this place is pricey but everything is really amazing and you can tell the plants are very well cared for. Staff is very friendly. There is a limited capacity due to Covid but its well worth the wait. Even if it's too much money for you to spend, it's worth the trip. So beautiful and peaceful. read more

Small, trendy nursery. Main focus for my visit was for hoya plants, and they did not disappoint. Located amongst other trendy spots to make a visit to the area interesting beyond the nursery. They carry larger hanging baskets along with smaller Potted plants. Saw 5 or 6 different quality hoya varieties. read more

I love pistils. it's my favorite plant shop. Shelly and Avery were so helpful, and kind.

Visited 5/12 for a Mother's Day gift. Short story- Kate and Joey were phenomenal. Some of the best customer service I've experienced in Portland. We will be back for more DIY terrariums. The kids each want their own. Long story- Before we knew what we wanted, my son started asking Kate a lot of questions. She was so attentive and genuinely interested in the plants he was asking about ( carnivorous type) . Took him over to a few examples and talked to through the types they had and how they eat. We decided on a DIY terrarium. Kate once again jumped in and pointed out all the options and helped us with construction. There was a large terrarium on display that caught all our attention. It was built by Joey. She was also so great with the kids! They asked about a vine at checkout and Joey gave us all the information about it. Mom got a great custom terrarium made by the kids. Will be back for more read more

THANK YOU RACHEL! I just returned from a trip and came home to some sad plants, including my poor Monstera with a totally yellowed leaf. I took it to Pistils hoping someone could help me keep my plants happy and healthy and got more than I bargained for. Not only did I get tons of information, Rachel even took the time to properly repot the Monstera for me! Now I feel super confident in taking care of my plants as we head into the warmer months! read more

We came here a couple of months ago and they had limited capacity in store. It was mostly ok, but it wasn't very staggered and it felt like groups of people were kind of on our heels. The plant selection and layout of the plants is fabulous. Some of the selection is moderately priced, but also worth it. They also had chickens roaming around outside, which was cute! I bought two small plants that have held up well. read more

Walking into Pistils filled with lush, healthy plants - trailing plants hanging from the rafters; large palm, ficus and rubber trees on the floor; house plants covering the tables; and wall mounted plants- immediately I smile, breath deeply and feel calm. It's one of my happy places! My latest obsession is air plants, which btw do need to be spritzed with water! They derive their name because they don't require soil to grow. Pistils has a great selection! I've picked up trailing Spanish moss which provides a great contrast to the short, compact succulents I paired them with on my shelves. The staff is very knowledgeable and has provided great tips ensuring my air plants and succulents continue to thrive. In addition to the plants, they sell various planters, geraniums and vessels, many in a mid century style which i prefer. They also have lots of wall mounted planters which I Just love for their simplicity and the geometric detail they provide. Hang one or a collection to give your space personality and diversity a room. They compliment artwork without competing. Classes are offered for those wanting to build terrariums or wall mounted plants a want a hands on approach to designing your own unique arrangement. The NE Killingsworth store is the original and I've visited dozens of times over the years. They also opened a location in NW, in the Slabtown neighborhood. The NW location is beautiful with light pouring in everywhere and plants draping the walls, ceiling and floors. Pistils is must visit for anyone who loves sharing their space with real plants and bringing nature indoors to create calm and serenity. read more

After hearing from my coworker about how much she loves this place and needing to get some greenery for my apartment, I decided to keep my money local and buy some plants and potting soil from here. I ordered online and paid. They have free pick up for local orders. Their warehouse is just a few minutes drive from my home. Quick and efficient! read more

Guys, I miss nature. One way I'm getting through it? Plotting an urban jungle in my house and staring at plants on the internet. One of my favorite shops, both virtually and IRL? Pistils in Portland! For me, no trip to Portland is complete without a stop here. The shop itself is pretty compact (a front room and a back room), but it packs a punch when it comes to amazing plants to swoon over. The dreamy greenhouse feel paired with Portland's (usually) rainy weather is such a vibe. There's also a little outdoor section if you're shopping for your porch/yard. Love that they have supplies, planters, and books onsite as well. It looks like they're doing curbside pickup if you live in the area, plus delivery from their online site if you don't. I've found the "journal" portion of their website to be both soothing and informative these days (https://pistilsnursery.com/blogs/journal). Certainly worth a real life visit when we're out and about in the world again, but a nice spot for a digital visit for now! read more

I've always been pleased with the customer service and today was no exception. The associate than helped me put together a new terrarium was not only kind and patient, but also had a wonderful artistic eye, resulting in a stunning piece for my home. read more

A place for the thoughtful plant parent. If you're looking for the more unusual or unique, hard-to-find plants for your home or to gift, this is place for you. Definitely on the pricier side, but they have a really varied selection as well as nice pottery options. It's not a massive plant shop but they've got houseplants that would make anyone happy. Friendly, knowledgable staff and a customer rewards program are both notable and keep me combing back. read more

Loved it so much! It was like walking into plant heaven itself. They have tons of plants, and really rare ones, too. I was able to find a great variety of calathea, cacti, succulents, pothos, philodendron etc. Everything was reasonably priced and I would go so far as to say better than the big nurseries in Portland. Staff was friendly and the experience was amazing overall. I was able to find my wishlist plant! They had a select few pink philodendron princess which I couldn't believe my eyes. Not super expensive either, but from what I've found anything under $100 for a PPP is rare. They even had living stone which I had to snag. Along with that they have a rewards program so for every $1 you spend you get points that accumulate. read more
