I love going here! Everyone is so friendly and helpful, and the plant selection is fantastic. Vega is especially knowledgeable. He helped me pick out perfect planters for too large plants (that were gifts), and of course I picked up a few other plants while there :)

Finally made it out here and lemme just say: wowowow! I felt like a lil' kid in a candy shop but just a diff type of sweet treats so much joy in one space! I'll most definitely be coming back. Also, s/o to Niko who was so helpful and is basically a walking plant encyclopedia; appreciated the time he took to show me around and answer my 21Qs LOL everyone was so lovely and welcoming :) As a first timer, I had such a pleasant plant browsing (and shopping) experience Left the proud owner of two new plant bbs (one of them which I named Niko hehehe) #ShopSmallBiz #SupportLocal fam

About a year agoI came to this place just to take a look, and I took home a Monstera Deliciosa. The price was super fair considering the great quality. She is my princess plant. The older guy in there boosted my confidence because I was not sure if I could keep it alive, and now, a year later, she is still alive! I will be coming back soon to this place to bring home more beautiful plants to my growing plant family and learn how to re-pot them. Folks here are so knowledgeable, and they really care. Thank you.

Best quality plants/accessories and such a fun variety. Love coming into this store, such a comforting environment and you can tell the owners genuinely take pride and care for their products. Even gave advice on how to care/revive my plant that I did NOT purchase from them that is suffering from root rot. Pictured: newest plant/pot they helped pick out we got for my friends new coffee shop that I’m def going back for to get one for my own house!

Hidden neighborhood gem. Whenever we swing by for anything garden related (Christmas trees also), there's just good vibe... And it all starts from the top with Adam and Tony down to all their very friendly and knowledgeable associates. Good people, great products at a fair price. I have not gone back to big box stores for any greenery needs since discovering Adams & Sons (& Daughter - although we have not had the pleasure of meeting her yet). We will be back again.

Great atmosphere, and good prices! They had a live DJ when we visited (Sunday) which was dope! They have small hand-written notes on each of the plants so you know how to take care of it. Being a beginner, I thought this was so helpful and considerate. Very unique vibe and family owned, if you have the chance check this place out.
