Visited recently. Such a cute little plant shop with a nice variety to choose from. Also, it's self service. Simple and straightforward check out procedure. Nice surprise to find this hidden gem over in East.

I absolutely love this place. I have a been a few times. Purchased a rare albo monstera, an Alocasia Jacklyn (probably a year ago), which alocasia are top favorites! Recently purchased philodendron ring of fire, variegated and it's breathtaking. I'm in love and just feel super happy when I'm in there. Thank you! This plant was a baby when I first bought it!

I am a big fan of the african violet soil by Optimara from Selective Gardner and I have purchased their soil repeatedly. My violets really do better in it than in other brand soils such as often recommended 50% Black Gold/50%Perlite. I tried several. They also sell easy to use safe violet fertilizer which I highly recommend. I live in Alabama but was in the area for business and made a detour to visit Optimara Greenhouses to stock up on violet soil and see what else they have, in person. Dropped in unannounced. The owner was super kind and introduced me to their employee, Vladislav, who went out of his way to show me their outstanding facility, rare and exotic plants they are growing, performing selection for new traits and coloring. At this time of year they have lots of tropical plants ready for sale, lots of miniature varieties that would brighten up any office or home. Love this business and the people are wonderful.
