"Get to know Harrison, the Macaw who chills in the garden center, or Franklin, the owner Joe Franquinha's pot-bellied pig who's posted in the backyard." - Foster Kamer, executive editor - Mental Floss Read more.
Fuck Home Depot, this place is the way to go. The staff is amazing, they're always willing to help, and they're very understanding with stupid questions.
Go say hi to Franklin the pig, usually found in his pen in the backyard garden!
Support local garden centers. Ask for plants grown and sold locally - better chance for surviving. Joel has given us great suggestions here.
Friendly neighborhood garden center. Lines can be long in peak gardening season - so plan ahead.
Great selection of plants, soils, and planters. Indoor/outdoor space. Very helpful workers who gave me tips for my dying plant. Also totally reasonable and decent prices!
Best plant shop in the city, especially for cacti and other succulents. Friendly people, cool gifts, incredible selection.
Black owned business — beautiful option of fresh flowers, super affordable & the owner is very helpful and knowledgeable. This is a wonderful hidden gem.
Come here instead of Home Depot to buy plants & planters.
Excellent corner nursery, run by a passionate owner whose knowledge of plants is as thorough as it is charming.
Fun place to visit for plants, clothing and various knick knacks. Excellent merchandising. Pricy but well curated and cool finds.
Amazing customer service and an incredible collection of plants, candles, jewelry, disco balls, and much more. A must-visit when in Greenpoint!
The kind of place you should come after a few day drinks and before a night out at House of Yes.
Great spot! Shopping as local as it gets, the people who work here are fantastic. If you're nice, the kitty may pay you a visit
I love smelling their greenhouses.
they are super helpful, even when it's crowded. 🍃 it's like a plant carnival 🍃
Most the plants outside were already wilted and/or actively dying and everything was incredibly overpriced.
Beautiful selection of plants. Some smaller and reasonably priced ones.
Love this place. If you’re carrying a plant you bought from another store nearby (ahem, Tula), they won’t let you bring it inside. Not a dealbreaker, but caught me off guard. Still love the place tho!
Great plants. Great people to ask gardening questions of. Great cat. Read more.
Fantastic prices on ceramic pots. Reason alone to make the trek!! Great place.
Best place to buy foliage in Brooklyn
Good prices and great old Brooklyn atmosphere.
Worth the trip from neighboring areas, Christmas trees cost half of what sidewalk stands charge.
Fantastically helpful and generous staff. An excellent neighborhood hardware store. You won't regret doing all your business here.
Ask the guys up front for whatever you need. The store is compact and you can easily miss anything. Read more.
My favorite hardware store and hardware store staff ever. Lived above here for 4 years and those guys are the nicest team around.
