Bespoke Home + Life
817 Haddon Avenue, Collingswood
In 2018, owners Patrick Bartscherer and Eric Hillegass moved from NYC to Philly to open Bespoke Home + Life. They customize the retail experience — and will transform your home with seemingly any kind of greenery imaginable — based on seasonal trends and themes.
Chloris & Prase
1915 Washington Avenue (inside Jinx), Grad Hospital

Whether you’re filling your backyard with petunias or picking out your first windowsill shrub, this Northern Liberties shop sells annual and perennial flowers, plus tropical houseplants of all shapes and sizes.

Cultivaire
915 North 28th Street, Brewerytown
Owners MaryAnne McClay and Justin Kenyon know the struggle of raising a plant in Philly, which is why they’re focused on helping plant lovers across the city find the perfect (and budget-friendly!) florae.

FarmerJawn Greenery
6730 Germantown Avenue, Germantown
FarmerJawn Greenery is a food-focused garden center that advocates for food access, less waste, and more locally grown goods.

Foliage
8137-8139 Germantown Avenue, Germantown
This urban oasis in Germantown started at a local flea market and grew into a flourishing storefront. Foliage offers customers a wide variety of plants and perks, including re-potting and rehabilitation, plant matchmaking, in-home consultations, and plant sitting.
Greenly Plant Co
821 Dudley Street (inside Bok), South Philly
Located inside the Bok building, Greenly Plant Co sells house plants and locally sourced pottery and plant accessories. They consistently update their inventory, so you can either take a peek at what’s currently in stock or be pleasantly surprised upon visiting.
The Ground Coffee, Plants & Gifts
2000 North 2nd Street, C-1 (inside The Gotham), Kensington
The motto of this Kensington shop is, “Good things come from The Ground,” which is why it’s focused on plants, coffee, and other goodness from the earth. The Ground has a wide selection of greenery, as well as planters and pots, that can be bought in store or online.
The Jade Forest
626 South 7th Street, Bella Vista
Run by mom-and-daughter duo Zee and Kacey Morrissey, The Jade Forest helps customers find the right plant to “adopt,” and can plant-sit while you’re away on vacation.

1431 North 52nd Street, West Philly
Plant and People is another shop owned by a mother and daughter who strive to support the community through plants.

Secret Garden
7631 Ridge Avenue, Roxborough
Founded in 2004 by Roxborough native John Lynch, Secret Garden boasts a quiet, secluded ambiance, making it the perfect place to go if you want to shop for your plants in peace. (There’s no signage out front, making it a kind of speakeasy for green things!) The tucked-away garden center and nursery carries a wide selection of rare perennials and annuals, fruit and vegetable plants, hanging baskets, and organic soils and sprays.
STUMP
956 North 2nd Street, Northern Liberties; 22 South 40th Street, University City; and 622 South 9th Street, Bella Vista
STUMP’s owners — who started the brand in Columbus, Ohio in 2015 — have long rejected the model of traditional garden centers. Each location across the country ranges between 550 to 1,250 square feet to provide an intimate community of plant lovers and buyers. STUMP’s airy NoLibs and UCity locations offer an array of tropical and desert plants, plus locally sourced, sustainably crafted wares. They also recently opened their third Philly outpost in Bella Vista.
Terrain
138 Lancaster Avenue, suite 110, Devon and 914 Baltimore Pike, Glen Mills
Terrain’s two garden centers in Glen Mills and Devon are for the posh boho plant parents out there. Summer standouts include blueberry, raspberry, and blackberry plants, begonias and ferns, hanging Spanish moss, and fresh eucalyptus wreaths. And, for those lacking gardening skills, Terrain offers a large collection of faux plants as well, from fig trees to falling vines to magnolia blossoms.
Urban Jungle
1526 East Passyunk Avenue, East Passyunk (retail) and 1721 South Water Street, Pennsport (nursery)
Calling themselves “the plant people of South Philly,” Urban Jungle’s Curt and Tara Alexander transformed a former autobody shop into a massive plant warehouse.

Opt for their landscaping services.

Walter Pine
729 South 4th Street, Queen Village
Walking into this Queen Village floral studio feels like stepping into a Parisian fleuriste’s storefront.
