The range covers indoor plants, plant care products, pots, displays, terrariums and plantware, along with gardening tools, books, gifts, merchandise and some clearance items. The inside is fitted out with natural-wood shelving and tables, and there's plenty of greenery on display. The shop has a 5/5 rating from 116 reviews on Google Maps.

Customers who have left reviews mention the unusual plant selection, the reasonable prices and the wide range of accessories. The owner, Lara, comes up often. Reviewers describe her as extremely knowledgeable and very friendly, and say she gives excellent advice on buying and caring for plants. She has more than eight years of experience running workshops and says she has taught thousands of people. The most popular of these are the terrarium-making workshops, which include mini-terrarium sessions for hen do days.

The workshop booking terms are straightforward. If you cancel more than seven days before the session, you can have a full refund or move to another date. If you cancel within seven days, the booking isn't refundable, and moving to another date means paying again for the new slot.

Other items can be returned in store within 30 days, as long as you have the receipt and the item is in its original condition, for a full refund.
