    I love coming here! Everyone who works here is friendly and welcoming! I've bought lots of plants here, specifically Hoyas and they're beautiful! Massive selections of cactus, tropicals, basic houseplants, rare plants, accessories and pots (Cara de planta pots) and growing mediums. This is my happy place, keep up the great work

    This plant shop was suggested to me by a coworker with whom I share a love of houseplants. From…read morewhat I understand from her, they started selling plants via Instagram and then branched out to their own shop? And I think it's woman-owned, which is definitely something I want to support! This shop is located in Jeff Park, and I missed it when I visited the first time; it's right on the corner of Lawrence & Milwaukee. Parking may not be obvious if you're not around here often, and there isn't parking on Milwaukee this far north. It's about a block from the library and the ACTUAL Jefferson Park, and a block or two from the Copernicus Center in the other direction, so there is some parking but it's probably all pay to park (at least across from the library on Lawrence it was). So you should be able to find a place to park in the surrounding streets. The women working--the owner/s I think?--said hello but weren't overbearing. They offered help if I needed which I appreciated. They were knowledgeable, which you'd think would be a given but doesn't always seem to be when I've visited other plant shops. They were answering a customer's question about a monstera plant that they have in the window, teaching him that the particular plant he was admiring was several hundred dollars because it's a rare one, with a stable mutation; on the other hand, also monsteras do not have a stable mutation and thus their variegated color can shift to a solid green. That was fascinating to learn about (since I was dropping eaves, obviously)! It also taught me to be wary of an expensive albo monstera since this seems like something that scammers would try to sell unsuspecting plant parents. They have some of the plants you'll find at a lot of places, and they're in great health! They also had some carnivorous plants. Plant-related merchandise was also on sale, including accessories like decorative plant stakes (love!), or plant critters to sit with or on your plants, that sort of thing. Pots, of course. They also sell things like face masks, plant-based skincare, and the like. The store is very large and not at all crowded. I'm not sure if they're still finding their footing with regards to arranging their store or not. And they have an awesome plant swap area--a little take-a-cutting/leave-a-cutting shelf. They have a couple of chairs too so folks can relax in the jungle here!

    This is quite an extensive park! We met a group of friends here for one of their periodic bat…read morewalks, which I think was a program of the Friends of Kilbourn Park. They do have a good sized field house here, with programming for a variety of age ranges, so it's worth checking out the CPD activities schedule. There's lots of green space, but also baseball fields, tennis courts, and a nice sized playground. The playground, too, serves a nice range of ages. But what I liked most about this park was the greenhouse and outdoor natural play area. There are places for kids to sit for various activities that take place here, an outdoor kitchen, and a large greenhouse. It's called a "teaching greenhouse", and is unique amongst Chicago parks (at least as of 2026). There's a program called garden buddies aimed at toddlers and I wish I lived closer to be able to have my child participate in it! There's also a plant sale each year. If all that weren't enough, an orchard--the first in a major metropolitan city in the US!--was planted in 2008. Apples, pears, and more--including the paw paw, an unusual, native Illinois fruit--grow on these trees. Currants, berries, and more have also been planted here. I'm excited to keep an eye on their events.

    The Greenhouse is open to the public and they do have a staff in duty if there's any questions…read moreabout the garden. They have a selection of plans and flowers. Next to it they have this beautiful park for the kids to play in the playground. Also they have tennis courts and you can improvise and play pickleball as well. Definitely a great value of time to keep this garden beautiful.

Over the years they've expanded their selection to include more trees and shrubs. One of the things that I love is that they load bagged compost, mulch , potting soil directly to your car.

I decided to come to this place to support private shop owners and not the big chain shops. I avoided going to Lowe's and Home Depot but...This time I came to this place there were 2 guys behind counters that weren't at all helpful. I walked in said hello and neither one responded. When I asked one a question he said to ask the other guy cuz he was helping someone else and he walked away. I could barely understand him. When I looked for the other employee there was no one there. There was only one other customer so I don't understand how busy they could have been. Another reason for being so disappointed with this place is that some of the plants inside appeared a bit neglected. They're droopy, yellow leaves and just sad. I think a nursery should have every and single plant look like they're well taken care of and happy. Most plants inside didn't look like that. It's pretty sad. I put the planter I was going to buy down and left feeling like clearly they didn't need my business. I don't see myself returning to this place.
