The Great Outdoors is a great place to go for all things plants & landscaping. They have great selection of herbs & even an indoor greenhouse for house plants. Best place to buy orchids that are high quality! Great to just visit and walk through if you’re out and about on South Congress. :D

This garden shop far exceeded my expectations. I went looking for lima bean seeds and left with; houseplants, seedlings, and fertilizers. They have a large variety of landscaping plants, indoor and outdoor succulents, houseplants and decorations for all tastes. I especially like that they have an onsite cafe and family workshops- I'll definitely be back!
