    I love plants, and love to be able to stop at plant stores when I'm out and about, so it's so great to have this shop on the East Market, grab a bite to eat, enjoy a drink, and plant shop- what's not to love?! For a small space they offer lot! Houseplants, succulents, cacti, merchandise to help care for plants and plant themed fun items. I have a LOT of plants but I'm still able to find things I don't already have here. Staff is always friendly and can answer questions about care for the plant. Prices are very comparable other plant stores, but I love the ease of shopping, parking is free in the lot outside. Definitely will be getting more plants here soon!

    Super cute little shop! They had a decent verity despite it being side the market. Everything looked so beautiful and healthy! There was one employee who was super helpful and really nice! There were so many things I wanted so I definitely will be back! I also saw they have an only shop as well that you can get delivered with in 10 miles or schedule for pick up. I might utilize that feature next time. Especially when it's busy at the market. I got a beautiful succulent and air plant! The succulent was apart of an event but I payed $6-$7 for the air plant which I think is definitely a reasonable price! There were also some useful plant care tools! Overal great experience and looking forward to going back!

    Stopped into the East Market today heading to check out The Plant Gays to pick up a little gift. I had such a great experience I wanted to hop on Yelp and leave them a review. I easily found street parking and made my way into the front entrance of the Historic Trolley District: East Market. The shop is located in the front center, just behind the foyer of the main entrance. This was my first time visiting The Plant Gays and met David who was working the shop today. I would have never thought I would have so much fun talking about plants, plant care, types of options for different environments, and learning more about thier business and services! There is all kinds of cute stuff here. After browsing a bit, I picked out a Norfolk Island Pine, and also found a cute cactus and a fun looking air plant. The cactus and air plant were perfect for two decorative little planters that I have been wanting to put something in for a while. In addition to the variety of plants, they have gifts & accessories like watering cans, little jars of moss, plant tools, spray bottles and much more. They have different types of planters, vases, and offer plant services too. You can schedule in-home design service, or schedule a re-potting service and bring your plant in (or they can do a home visit for larger plants). Stopping in made my day. Super friendly and great customer service. I even grabbed a Loyalty Card for future visits.

    First time at the East Market and at The Plant Gays. The Plant Gays is the only store that sells plants in the East Market. Don't be fool by the size of the store. It's a small store but packs a lot of stuff. There are so many different types of plants and others things like pots, candles and ornaments. There are many different things you can pick for yourself or for a gift. Soon as I entered the store a gentleman welcomed us and showed us different types of plants and when we picked the plant that we liked, he repotted it and gave us instructions on how to take care of it. He was super nice. Will definitely visit here again for our next plant needs.

    The Plant Gays is a unique store specializing in house plants and flowers, as well as handmade planters and other plant accessories. The business is in the East Market in the Historic Trolley District. This was our first trip to the East Market, and we had a great time. David was very friendly, helpful, and patient as we decided between various plant options. My wife picked the fern plant, while I picked the cactus. Both are beautiful (and I don't even like houseplants)! If you are looking for a vendor who offers something different than big box retail stores, give the Plant Gays a try, and you will not regret it!

    I happen to love a good plant shop and the Plant Gays is adorable. The staff are super friendly and so nice! It was really fun to have a browse and talk about different kinds of plants. They also offer some cute local gift items, including candles and stickers, along with a selection of just really healthy looking plants and some interesting plant pots. For sure worth a visit and a return trip!

    This is such an adorable shop in the East Market! Great parking is available and there are tons of other vendors to visit for snacks after you shop for tons of awesome plants, plant accessories, and locally made giftables. They have lots of smaller plants and event planters for them-- you could create a really adorable indoor garden just from visiting this one shop. I loved the little plant hats they have for cacti. So cute. The owners are in the shop almost every day meeting with customers, and they even have some of their own artisan-made work, like unique pottery, available for sale. It's the type of place where you stop in and sort of want everything. I especially enjoyed all of the little jarred living mosses they have, and the adorable Christmas ornaments they have in stock right now.

    The Plant Gays located toward the back of the East Market and easily spotted along with all greens. I love this little stand filled with all the greens. They have variety size of plant to select. The owner is super nice and patiently explain on the care instruction for the plant. Other than that, they also have some accessories for plant and some interesting gift options as well.

    Another fabulous yelp event where you discover a new place in a city you've lived in for over 30 years! The East Market recently opened and The Plant Gays are the only non food store in the Market. The space is small but well organized and the owner was very helpful. Got the free plant but also bought another one that he potted for me. Excited to come back with my loyalty card.

I hand-build tiny, tiny ceramic pots, so I'm always looking for tiny plants to put in them. Straders has only a small selection of these pots & they are $6-15 depending on plant. DeMonye's had 10x the variety of what I usually find at Straders, and they were $4.49!! I did a little dance. You can find annuals, perennials, indoor plants, bulbs, seeds, soil, garden decor, pots, you name it! I also found flowers and berry plants for my garden. The staff was super knowledgeable and friendly. They said to check out their Facebook and IG for updates of what's in stock!

Otherwise, our experience was overwhelmingly subpar for the investment. We asked for a simple front yard landscaping revamp. There were more misses than wins with the overall delivery: 1) Design proposal took longer than quoted (no big deal, I know they're busy), and was missing a key part we originally asked for (and got an "oops sorry, here's a haphazard fix"). Design still lacked some our accessory asks, but we decided to disregard those anyway. I feel as though our vision wasn't heard and believe me, I am an over-communicator. Maybe budget was an unspoken obstacle? But if so, it should have been communicated - we were flexible! 2) The install day was never scheduled, and the install team showed up unannounced without designer oversight as promised. Luckily I was able to arrange to stay home for the install. 3) We were charged for new plants, that we didn't receive. Instead they "transplanted" our dead plants that looked awful (these were the reason we were investing in new landscaping altogether). 4) Old random foliage and plants were left in our landscape (likely with intention, because they planted the new around them which threw off spacing). 5) Some plants did not take and remained weed-y, even with frequent and appropriate watering. When addressed, we were told we were not watering enough... doubt it, but ok. See photos. I'm shocked they thought this was acceptable, and didn't ask how to handle if there was question at the time of install. We ended up needing to replant about half of the overall work ourselves. Old plant concerns were remedied on our invoice, and follow-up communication was prompt from the designer at least. Won't re-engage.

Well-built retaining walls and two large paver patios - along with new trees, shrubs, and perennials - have added significantly to our family's enjoyment of our home. Jered Seely's expertise in both hardscape and landscape designs is exceptional. He incorporated our preferences into a workable plan with an attractive result. We especially appreciated Jered's utilization of a computer program that allowed us to view how proposed plantings of trees, shrubs, and perennials would look when placed along the front of our house. The quality of the crew responsible for executing the designs was likewise exceptional. They were hardworking, courteous, respectful, and professional. Special kudos to Tyler and J-rod! We have already recommended Seely's to several of our neighbors and will continue to suggest to others that they contact Seely's for any of their outdoor hardscape and/or landscape needs.

A broken wrist stopped me from planting in Spring and early Summer, but I sallied forth today with a list of nearby nurseries. Seely's was first on my list, and I didn't need to go farther. They have an impressive selection of trees, shrubs, flowers, and leafy perennials. Their Hosta selection is the largest I've ever seen. At a guess I'd say they have at least 100 different varieties. It's incredible! The Seely's employees are friendly, knowledgeable, and service-oriented. Julie hauled my cart all through the many plants, giving me advice on what plants would work with my East and West-facing planting areas. When I found one of my favorite plants looking a bit scraggly late in the season, she pruned the leggy parts off and left the beautifully formed inner stems and leaves for me. She was patient as I back-tracked to revisit plants I was interested in. Then she helped me load all my plants and a couple bags of Sweet Peat mulch/soil enhancer into the back of my Outback. I will definitely return to Seely's as I fill out my garden areas in the coming years. And I'll definitely watch for Julie when I do. This nursery doesn't look like much from the road, but it is truly a hidden gem! Check it out the next time you have landscaping and gardening needs!
