Lovely Nursery, and garden center, of the beaten path. The small nursery caught my eye, when I was…read moretraveling, and when my wife said she wanted to get a plant for her office, I remember this place and took her. The lady in charge was outside watering the giant hydrangeas, but immediately came to help my wife with her new plant scavenger hunt. Like most times when my wife gets the hunter glare in her eyes, I wisely stay back, and only provide arms for bag holding. My wife was shown several plants and then pots the wound suit her office space. I would definitely recommend you stop by and let them take care of you like family.

My boyfriend and I were in downtown Geneva checking out some of the shops before dinner when I…read morenoticed there was a plant store. I am so happy I found this place! Their plants look really healthy and they have an amazing selection. I had been looking for a scindapsus pictus (often called a satin pothos, but I learned while I was here that it's not actually a pothos). The nurseries I'd been to never had one and so I was pleasantly surprised they had quite a few to pick from! Laura was super helpful and kind! They have a really pretty setup. They sell adorable decor and plant pots as well. As someone who is new to plants, I appreciated Laura's expertise and advice. She answered all my questions thoroughly. I was advised that I could buy soil for my plants from them in the future whenever I need to repot. She gave me a plant card with information on how to care for my plant at checkout. I also joined the plant points program. I live kind of far but will drive out here again to buy another plant, soil, or anything else I may need in the future! If you're a plant person, you must visit GROW Geneva.

I stopped by with a friend when I was in town, and I hadn't been to their new location. This one is…read moreso much bigger than their old shop, so it's great to see that they're doing well. They have a good mix of common and more rare plants, and prices are reasonable for the most part. Their $5 Saturday in store and online plant special is always a good deal (the day I went it was a 4" peperomia frost in store and a 4" lipstick plant online). Their new store has more homewares, jewelry, and gifts/trinkets than their previous location, since this one has more space. They had some cute things. Definitely a fun place to browse, and for plant-lovers like myself it's extremely hard to walk out empty-handed.

We stumbled into The Growing Place on a rainy Father's Day after a farmers market left us wanting…read moremore, and walked out two hours later completely enchanted. In the rain. Nobody complained once. This is not a garden center. It is an experience. The grounds are laid out in a way that feels less like retail and more like exploration, with magical little pockets of gardens tucked throughout that pull you deeper in at every turn. Twenty six gardens maintained across the property, each one more beautiful and considered than the last. We were mesmerized, all of us, adults and kids alike, just wandering and discovering in the drizzle like we had nowhere else to be. The plant selection is exceptional with a strong emphasis on natives, which is exactly what we have been hunting for as we plan out our garden for next year. Prices are reasonable and feel fair for the quality of what they carry. But the real story here is the staff. Joanne has worked at The Growing Place for over 35 years and helps maintain those 26 gardens herself. When our daughter bought a rose bush recently Joanne spent genuine unhurried time with her, walking her through exactly how to care for it. That kind of knowledge sharing and patient generosity is rare and it is clearly baked into the culture of this place. Four generations of family ownership spanning nearly 90 years will do that. You can feel the legacy in every corner of those grounds. They also run community events and educational classes for aspiring gardeners of every level. This is a place that genuinely wants you to grow, literally and figuratively. Our new forever garden center. No question.

This is a family owned business with a very knowledgeable staff. They also have a nice gift shop selling garden and home accents and containers. Thru out the year they offer classes and tours as well as seasonal events. The Garlic & Cider event was smaller than we expected with only a handful of vendors. We did end up buying a few succulents plus they gave us a FREE mint plant. With 2 locations, Aurora and Naperville..they have grown into a garden oasis for everyone!

Wonderful place, really enjoyed shopping there this summer. It was my first time there and the…read moresales lady was amazing. Spent tons of time with me talking about native plants and providing recommendations. They even helped me load my plants, and gave me a few free vegetables. The place is out in the country and a lovely drive. They were even doing a special Day Lily event that we were going to go to but it was way too hot to be out that day. I highly recommend this place if your looking for unique, good quality plants with a sales staff that truly cares about plants and their customers.
