NEW! Visit the Plant Doctor

Have questions about the health or care of your indoor plant(s)? Looking for help on how to repot your plant? Bring in your plant(s) or a photo, and our horticulturists will provide you with an on-the-spot assessment and treatment. Examples of services offered include: Pruning, repotting, leaf cleaning and pest removal.

Please note: If your plant is HEAVILY infested with pests, you should keep it at home and only bring in a photo. This service is ideal for small or young plants. We will not be able to help you unload/load your plant.

Free Plant & Seed Swap

Bring as many plants as you wish to trade. If there isn’t anything of interest on the table when you arrive, add your plant(s) and take a ticket to redeem later when you see something new you’d like to try.

Drop by the Weston Family Library, which houses our Seed Library. You can borrow seeds for FREE! If you have extra seeds, package and label them to add to our seed library collection. There will be a seed library assistant to assist you with your selections and contributions.
