My only hiccup was my initial interaction at the counter. When I asked if I could set my plants there while I waited, the employee seemed pretty standoffish, and it made for an awkward first impression. Thankfully, the person who checked me out was warm, friendly, and completely turned the experience around. Maybe I've just had some bad luck, but I feel like I occasionally run into this at local shops around Asheville, where it can feel like customers are more of an interruption than the reason the business exists. I genuinely want to support small businesses, so friendly customer service really does make a difference (or at least fix the RBF).

They called because they didn't have the exact same vase that was pictured on the website and I said no problem, her favorite color is purple so whatever works. So unbeknownst to be they added a purple ribbon to the vase which was a perfect touch. Beautiful arrangement and customer service! And even better pricing than the big online box store. My mom also told us that the woman who delivered was so nice. I do not understand all the negative reviews except the arrangement not being exactly like what is pictured on the website, down to the same amount of petals?? Every photo I've seen is just as beautiful as the online photo comparison. Very happy with my order.

There's so much to see here. This is a fun shop.

Local as well as out-of-area art and creations curated so well, it's almost like a museum of kitsch and wonder!

We each ordered individually, but tasted everyone's dish. Beef Tartare: beautifully presented and well balanced. Served with fried saltines (seasoned with Old Bay seasoning). Wood Grilled Asparagus: perfection! Absolutely LOVED the sauce gribiche! Braised Rabbit and Nettle Cavatelli: I thought this dish was stunning. The texture of the cavatelli could not be better and the flavors melded well together. Lardon added savoriness while the pickled ramps balanced the palate. Soft Herb & Pea Risotto: loved this in terms of texture but needed a touch of salt. We added a pinch of their house special salt (mined from a 100 year old salt mine), and it did the trick! Wild Mushroom Tagliatelle: this was my favorite item, though also, requiring a pinch of salt. I really appreciated that the truffle oil did not overpower the dish (that's a pet peeve of mine). We were provided with some truffle salt to enhance savoriness, which absolutely lifted the pasta to another level. Service all around was attentive and friendly. Definitely recommend if you're in town!

Asheville has no shortage of magical spaces that kind of transcend space/time when you wander them. This one is a doozy! Walk down the stone earth entry to the grotto below and tell me you didn't just schloop through an unseen hole in the veil only to emerge into someplace much further than it looked from "out there." It's like the TARDIS of nurseries, it's bigger on the inside. A bit north of UNC Asheville on Merrimon, the only negative thing that I could mention is that parking is a little tight and close to that road, but that's a pretty common gripe in the 828, but I had to mention it for credibility. I mean this is a Yelp! review fercryinoutloud it can't all be pixies and rainbows. They have pots. And plants. Indoor and outdoor types. Annuals and perennials. Gifts and creativity abound, if you can abide. The staff that I encountered were big on hospitality, helpfulness, and that Southern Appalachian humility that I respectfully embrace. We left with a giant clay pot and a half-price Aloe that is entering the rehabilitation porch at home tomorrow at sun-up. Oh, there is a chicken coop just a bit farther out back, past the little creek and through the back greenhouse. Totally worth a peek while you're meandering about. From the looks of it, this place is evolving and growing. I can't wait to see it next time I come. Do yourself a favor and check it out.
