I stumbled upon Asrai Garden when I attended an event at the Ace Hotel. At first I thought it was a…read morenew floral shop in town, but after talking to the staff I learned this was Asrai's newest location. I used to visit the one in Wicker Park so I was thrilled to see they have a location also in the West Loop which is easier for me to get to. This new location is a huge improvement aesthetically compared to the one in Wicker Park. This location is definitely more spacious and seems to offer a wider variety of things from eclectic jewelry to incense. The floral part though may be the bread and butter of this place. I love how they have the flowers on display, making it accessible and easy to choose your own arrangement.

Of course the plants I have cared for in the past never look as good as the plants here. They also sell pots, terrariums, plant and gardening related gifts. Surprisingly, they even have a vinyl record that you play for your plants!!! Employees are willing to help with any questions. This place is just short of visiting a small botanical garden. I almost forgot to mention the rooftop has plants and planters for your rooftop or patio. All items are priced according to the quality of their merchandise. In short merchandise maybe a little pricey compared to a box store but, they have the quality and uniqueness that you wouldn't find elsewhere.

The prices seem reasonable considering the quality of products.

I wanted either a wide mouth with drainage holes or a tall slender pot. I got that and much more. My Ponytail came in a growers pot I just needed something cosmetically pleasing. I walked in this establishment and was met with first a "hello and welcome in" then to the left was BEAUTIFUL ceramic ombré pots, to the right was more colors, sizes and material. Further in the back I saw stripes and blends of color and further back I saw a pot with legs wow mind blowing. I expected these pots to be over $25, not the case I got two for $19.99. Two ceramic pots what a steal. I didn't buy any plants but I saw a Lemon Philodendron that is still on my mind, which I'm sure I'll be going back to purchase. Great service, product and customer service my new favorite place. Oh btw I just started a hydroponic system (countertop) and they had how to books, books for beginner plant mom/dads. Just a great place. I cannot say enough about Christy Webber Farm & Garden

The first one I bought about seven years ago is still going strong, so I know their plants are healthy and well cared for. I'm excited to see how this new one grows and evolves in our dental office at Lumiere Dental. The characteristics of the tree are stunning. The owner was very kind, wrapping it carefully for transport, helping load it into the car, and offering helpful care tips. A wonderful experience all around.

So to just stumble upon the shop was another delight. I wish I could have taken all I wanted but I was walking. Absolutely stunning. A selection to die for. Colors I've never seen in floral shops. It's not going to be cheap, but you are going to enjoy every moment they are in your home. Also although it's a little cramped and I felt the need to hide a little bit in the store as to not be in the way, I never felt ignored. I was asked several times if I needed help/was being taken care of. The woman wrapping my bouquet/vase did a phenomenal job, it lasted another 1.5 mile walk, Lyft back to our hotel, and another night/day at our hotel. Thank you so much!

He was condescending and it wasn't a great experience. Despite the fact that the plants looked healthy, there isn't much that I can say positively. I felt uncomfortable asking questions. As a novice houseplant enthusiast, the appeal of local plant shops are the shop employees/owners valuable input. By the way, monsteras were reclassified as Araceae and aren't considered a philodendron anymore. When I had asked a clarifying question bc he asked me for the genus of the plant, I thought I understood and said "oh like a monstera?" And in a condescending tone he said, uh no, that's the species, it's a philodendron. Awkward/off putting experience. I wouldn't go out of my way again to come back.

I am not from Chicago and needed it early-ish on a Monday morning after a weekend of proms, weddings, and graduations in the city (i.e. all occasions that call for flowers!)

The owner was there waiting for a big delivery and didn't have much in stock, but she showed me what she had and replaced a few older flowers in the one I chose. The arrangement was beautiful and elegant - just what I needed! Thank you. Unfortunately, I didn't have the presence of mind to take a picture, but trust me when I tell you it was gorgeous- delicate shades of pink and caramel, roses and peonies and other lovely blooms.
