- nice, dimly lit space - price point wasn't outrageous - I like that they labeled which ones were pet safe - no one walking around to assist to ask questions - the two employees stayed at the register area tho no one was in line; not personable - my friend tried to smile at one of the register attendees & she wasn't given the same friendly gesture read more

Really nice store. Beautiful layout. And the staff is really helpful when providing advice on how to care for your plants, even if you did purchase the plants at their store. read more

Such a gorgeous space. A transformed garage made into a garden shop with a greenhouse on the second floor. Beautiful, healthy plants. Mostly succulents but then again, I AM ahead of the season. The prices for the plants were decent and not outrageous. The staff was a little aloof. The young gentleman overlooked me and was more attentive to the couples looking around. In any case, I was nice to see the greenery in the middle of busy ol Passyunk. read more

Neighborhood gem Happy Place Nice selection of plants and garden accessories. Heather was great. I have a few plants that were touch and go but thriving now. Heather provided some suggestions of plants that would be a great addition to my plant family in my bedroom. Pepper is on the left and Ruby on the right. The young lady that assisted with my purchase was very pleasant as well. She carefully bagged my plants. Looking forward to my next visit. read more

Neat store for those of us who love plants, get ideas as to how to care for them and appreciate the mere unique collections of plants - succulents, house plants, etc etc. Right outside the store at the entrance are displays of healthy and thriving plants attended by staff who is very friendly and knowledgeable. They really take great care of their plants! You have to visit this store when in Passyunk PA! read more

Went to Passyunk specifically to visit this nursery and was not let down. The staff was knowledgeable and courteous. The space was open and nice to be in with decent music and a pleasant smell to set the vibe! Of course I bought a plant that was recommended! read more

Great find in the middle of a big city. Ended up coming home with another cactus. Great staff

I attempted to visit this morning at 9:52, not realizing the store opens at 10 AM. There was no signage on the door indicating the hours, and the door was unlocked and opened easily, so I assumed they were open. Upon entering, I was met with an extremely rude and aggressive response from the owner, who seemed appalled that I had walked in--despite the door being unlocked. She curtly told me they were closed and to come back in 8 minutes. Needless to say, after that unpleasant encounter, I will not be returning. No wonder you are on the verge of closing permanently. read more

My favorite kind of garden shop - it's not just a plant store, it's a DESTINATION. Plan on at least 30 minutes here if you want to peruse just the plants for your home and garden. Add another 45 minutes if you want to poke around for some adorableness to add to your home and garden. It's funky, fun, colorful and oh such a great way to while away an hour in the middle of the crazy city streets of South Philly. read more

GREAT selection, healthy plants (former certified arborist and Horticulture degree holder), and plenty of floor space. My complaint is slightly more than half (I became inquisitive) of the products were not priced. When I passed by the register, it was unattended, although I think that was a momentary thing. My policy is to never buy anything unpriced. If I think it's worth $6, I don't want to get to the cashier and find out it's $24 or $48, and have to put it back like I can't afford it. I've worked too long and too hard to be subjected to that. A little attention to the customer's point of view would go a LONG way to pleasing your customers. Maybe in a year or two I'll stop by and give it another shot. Lord knows I'd rather give a local spot business than Lowes/Home Depot. read more

I highly recommend shopping here! The people who work here are so kind and knowledgeable and give you genuine, helpful advice (as opposed to just trying to sell you something). I will definitely be back! Thanks again for your help Urban Jungle! read more

I came here to buy my first ever plant! I left with a pathos, two succulents, potting mix and a beautiful bag plant holder! The staff was friendly but I wish they would have been a little more thorough when explaining the watering process of the plant since I have never owned one before. Other than that, it's a beautiful little shop and it was the perfect way to end our trip to Philly! read more

Urban Jungle, great store for all the green thumb lovers, the ones that are into doing it themselves, or if you just enjoy the beauty of plants and gardening. You can find so much greenery at Urban Jungle. I saw huge gigantic plants that would be beautiful in professional settings like doctor's offices or hotels. They even had little baby exotic plants as well. My aunt has a pond that my uncle created in the back of her house and I was able to see the creation of building a pond through a display at Urban Jungle that had beautiful rocks and other supplies needed for building a mini pond. Jazz music in the background and friendly staff that walks around the store eager to help or answer any questions was there at Urban Jungle. read more

Such an awesomely cool place! When we passed this small warehouse, there was no way we could simply walk past it. The large botanicals and fresh scents lure you in. And what a vibe it was! Urban Jungle has a beautiful selection of houseplants and outdoor plants--fiddle leaves, monsteras, cacti, pothos, peace lilies, and so much more. And they don't have just plants, they have accessories, tools and very unique planters. If I wasn't already struggling with my peace lily plant, I would have purchased the beautiful peace lily plant here! But I wouldn't be able to do it justice. Anywho, this place is a treat. They allowed us to bring in our friend's dog as well so dog friendly : ) read more

I developed a very serious houseplant obsession during quarantine, and was really excited to check out Urban Jungle on a Saturday! It's a cute, industrial-hipster vibes place selling everything from plants, soil, and pots to macrame hangers and cute print cloth masks. It's a lovely haven of greenery, and the person I spoke with on the phone prior to coming was really nice and helpful. I didn't interact much with the employees while I was there, but they seemed happy to help folks who needed it and happy tending to the plants! I do wish there were more variety--there were primarily succulents, with a few varieties of pothos, monsteras, and ficus, etc. Everything does lean towards the pricier end, especially the "trendier" plants like monsteras! That being said, I'm happy to support a cute plant store and appreciate this place filled with growth and greenery! We all need more of that these days :) read more

Plants, succulents, pots, candles, local artisan crafts, eucalyptus stems, soil and other supplies - Urban Jungle has it all!! I have been wanting to check out this store for a while and finally found myself walking through Passyunk and stopped by. I am SO happy I did. Staff was super helpful and I could've spent hours looking around if it wasn't nearing closing time :) Cant wait to return! read more

I've followed Urban Jungle via social media for a few months before visiting. They are very good at taking pictures, because the visit was a bit underwhelming and not up to the hype of what their Instagram displays. The atmosphere is certainly inviting, but it's more of a trendy plant shop with not much in stock. I don't believe this was because things were bought up. It didn't really look like there was room for large inventory. There are two "greenhouses" - one is about a 10x10 tent of mostly cacti and succulents, with the other upstairs a bit larger, but still lacking. I found the prices to be a bit more than what I'm used to paying. I believe a baby pothos was $24 and I've purchased the same for far less. Overall I spent about 15 minutes inside. I did leave with a mature string of pearls, which was $40. Given that I can't usually find such a gem in my area, I felt the price was fair. If you're looking for gems, check it out - they may have one or two. read more

You don't have to be a well versed gardening aficionado to appreciate all the breathtaking wonders in plant life that Urban Jungle has to offer. In fact even a person like me who's gardening claim to fame has been giving a Chia Pet one killer plumage of plant fur can appreciate its full on whimsy. Outside you'll find a plentiful assortment of herbs to compliment any of your kitchen needs, and a fine line of plants to really tie your garden together. And the bulk of its plant life comes directly from the stores impressive roof garden when the weather is right. Whether your a green thumb who's in need of some heavy duty equipment, a yoga lover who's looking to craft the perfect zen garden, or someone who just has a weird fascination with garden gnomes; Its vast interior has the perfect tools, soils, and decorations to bring out the best of your dream garden. And Urban Jungle is also the perfect location for any of your festive holiday wreaths and trees. As many of the Yelpers who attended the big Yelp's Passport to East Passyunk EE can attest to Urban Jungle is also the perfect place for holding a decent sized shindig. And East Passyunk Ave has been known to utilize its space for plenty of good special events. read more

Urban Jungle - The place to go if you love plants! - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I wish I could give this place 0 stars, the customer service was AWFUL! I asked for help with the dried flowers bouquet I was told to come back on a different day!! When I asked for help with picking a larger plant she told me " we don't have those" and turned around to continue her conversation with another employee. I did wind up buying a cute little ( overpriced) plant. Unfortunately about a week or so after I brought it home I realized it was infested with bugs.. hundreds and hundreds of tiny bugs that migrated to my other plants! It's a shame because I really wanted to love this place. Unfortunately it was one disappointment after another. I wouldn't recommend this place at all. read more

This used to be my go to place to buy plants but never again because of how they treated my friend She was sold a moss stick for $14 and Velcro for $10 to use together. Came back 5 mins after purchase & they wouldn't refund her money. The two hipsters working the counter May 8th were also so rude about it. No refund policy posted in plain sight. Also the whole scenario definitely had a strong racist vibe. read more

We just stopped in this cute nursery! It was warm and welcoming! They are certainly spreading the holiday cheer while maintaining a COVID-19 safe experience. The staff were helpful and genuinely care about the plants. All the plants looked to be in good health and reasonably priced! We ended up with 2 by the time we left the store. read more

This is a very cute nursery with a nice collection of houseplant and some outdoor plants. I got a couple of succulents, monsteras, and pothos plants from here. It's been a couple weeks and all are doing well. They also have a great selection of air plants and random cute items for home like macrame and candles. Though, I wish they had a larger selection of pots and more items for plant care. On the weekends, there can be long lines but I appreciate that given the pandemic, they limit the number of customers that can browse and they leave the door open so there is airflow. I'll definitely come back when I want to expand my plant family. read more

I frequent this location weekly. I have learned that if you are looking for succulents that it is best to go on the weekend. When I go during the week there are usually less succulents and cacti. Most plants come with a sticker to tell how often to water them and how much sunlight they need for survival. They have a vast variety of pots and garden décor and even fantastic smelling candles. Upstairs is a greenhouse with air plants and all of the needs to care for them. Along with live plants and flowers, they sell seeds to plant. The prices are not the lowest but the selection is worthwhile if you are a plant lover. I have not bought anything for my outdoor garden there but only my indoor plants and succulents. It is safe to say that I am OBSESSED with cacti and have bought FOUR different ones from here. Each is unique and they are all different types. This is a great stop if you enjoy green. The parking in the area is not the best and may take a few minutes to find a spot. They accept credit/debit cards. read more

Bought at a pop-up, hence no receipt. DIED in less than a week. No recourse, beyond rude, why buy local when you get ripped off!!!!! The same item is seen at Home Depot for 1/2 the cost with a YEAR GUARANTEE and they actually care - LOL!!!!! Stay away, they could care less after they rob you. read more

Suuuper expensive, and they're not nice or helpful. If you're going to pay more, you'd think you'd make up for it with service. Oh well. Nice to walk by? Try Lowes. read more

I've been here several times and while I love getting ideas the majority of their prices are egregious. I usually leave empty handed because I'm not willing to pay $12+tax for a a plant in a 4" pot or 40-something dollars for a small decorative pot(real life examples). I understand price can be subjective and I understand marking up prices is how businesses make money but I get annoyed by their prices at times because they seem unreasonable. Especially when I can find the same pot for cheaper from the original company or on Amazon(again, real life example.... I've done the research while standing in their store). They regularly get plants that are unique and can't be found just anywhere and the space is pretty big for a city location. On average they seem to offer more tropical plants but they do have a decent supply of succulents and cacti. Their plant selection is always healthy when I visit. This place also has a good base selection of soil, plant food, and pesticides. Some of it you can even get by the scoop which is great when you live in a small Philly apartment with little to no outdoor space to store the extra gardening supplies that plant require. Staff have always been friendly when I visit but I have gotten some funny advice when it comes to plant care. You can also get a Christmas tree here in December or make your own wreath/have one made....but again, you can expect pay more than $60. Summary: This place is perfect for you if you're looking for the perfect monstera or some chic indoor gardening supplies and you don't care about the cost. read more

Came here on a weekend during the pandemic and there was a line due to them limiting the amount of people inside which is understandable. After we finally got in 25 minutes later, we were browsing around for a bit since it was our first time here. We were there for about 20 minutes (with a bunch of plants to purchase in our basket might I add) and an employee came up to us saying "there's a line of people outside and we close in 15 minutes so just be mindful of that." If this is such a big deal, why not stay open later rather than rushing other customers out? We waited in line longer than we spent in the store and were still rushed out. Won't be coming back due to this and not to mention the prices are steep as others have stated. read more

So we wait in line and an employee comes out to "greet us" (just rudely in manner) telling us if we want to buy soil or a specific plant let her know and she can bring it out. The store is full it's a pandemic I get it. My husband asks her a question regarding soil because we are newbies, she talk to us like we are 5 year old idiots. We finally get inside and I'm still excited because of all the hype and it's so charming inside this revamped garage ( this comes in later). There is not much of a selection just your basics pothos, succulents, dumbcane a few ficus and everything is way overpriced. Hear me out, it's a garage, it's dark it's humid there was no air flow and after spending $76 on 3 plants and 3 qts of soil after a week at home and not once yet watered my dumbcane and my daughters flamingo flower were already root rotted and unsaveable and the other plant we bought a save me baby rubber plant had spider mites! The rude woman from the beginning of the story bagged them all together so eventually all of them got spider mites as well! Why would you put a reduced price save me floppy plant from a shelf off the floor in the same bag as $20 good plants, my husband carried the bags out after purchase so I was unaware. The damn soil isn't even all that great. The only good thing about our 35 minute visit was the sweet older woman who nicely gave us some tips and even called Nick to ask for us. He was off that day so I can't comment on his personality or customer service but my husband stopped back in once after and said he's super nice. Do not go here unless you're desperate to find something and only they have it. read more

This is such a cute space that is filled with so many plants and decor in such a tight space. They had a bunch of Christmas decor and like trinkets and pots and DECOR. I went during winter so they didn't have as many plants but they still were stocked with all the trendy and cool plants that are hard to come by! It's located upstairs during winter and I assume it is downstairs during the regular growing season. The upstairs green room is pretty tiny but it packs a punch. The prices are amazing for what you find. It's definitly not cheap but somethings here are way cheaper than at other nursuries. Some things here are a tad expensive but you can find the plants in person. The plants are all in pretty good shape and doesn't look like they are waterlogged. Def not a nursery just to be a nursery but one that has someone giving lots of attention to the houseplants. Also the owner? Manager? Lady is super nice as well. read more

I rarely leave yelp reviews but I walked into Urban Jungle expecting the normal confusion that comes at Home Depot or lowes' garden departments. Marley(sp?) could not have been more willing to help! She went above and beyond to teach me about the plants and helped me arrange two window boxes to put on my balcony. It's nice to go to a place where it feels like the employees really care about the work, and she seemed genuinely happy to be helping me. I'm clueless about plants and she didn't make me feel dumb at all. Attached are some pictures of the final result and I love it! read more
