The Heavy, Winter Park FL

I have been going consistently to the Heavy for over a year. It is a gem of a place. I love what they are doing. However, it is about time that I call out the blonde lady that manages the store. It breaks my heart that such a lovely place has to miss out on good business because of inhospitable staff. I wish them the best, but sometimes it leaves a sour taste in your mouth and makes you question why frequent a store that makes you feel so bad.

What an incredible (VIBE) here! Filled with beautiful plants, pottery and all kinds of goodness, the place is huge.and gorgeous throughout! And not to worry if you need any kind of help - it is offered freely with kindness & knowledge! I highly recommend The Heavy.

Finally a place that has really unique cacti. Love the inside and decor. 10/10 would recommend and return.

I LOVE THIS PLACE! A Going is like a gallery meets plant? Therapy. Beautiful decor and they host cool niche events now and then too. A lot of games created gifts and home goods.

I wasn't even acknowledged. I walked around for awhile, but the lady kept talking to another customer (just casual chitchat). So I left.

Megan is amazing. Bought a plan from The Heavy a few weeks prior and on my second visit i spoke with Megan and told her I wasn’t entirely sure if the 2” plant i bought was in the correct pot. She full educated on how certain plants she potted and recommended a bigger pot for my lil guy. Highly recommend The Heavy. Love this place

Pro: got a sport fuzzy petiole for the price of regular
Con: brought home a ton of spidermites to my 100+ houseplants: (: (: (there are more higher quality plant stores in orlando I highly recommend. This store is more for stuff than quality plants.

Not sure I can just give this wonderful place just 5- Stars. I can’t say enough about Berkley and the staff here. We hosted a private dinner party here for a 50th birthday tonight. From the beginning of the process Berkley was attentive, informative, helpful, timely all of the attributes that you hope for when interacting with an event planner/coordinator. I appreciated her communication and all she contributed to the event. We worked collectively and elevated the space to a beautiful final result. This venue is exceptional and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to plan an event. Thank you to the all staff at the Heavy. This space is heavenly.

This is my vibe. So many lovely plants and accessories. All thoughtfully displayed. I want to wrap it all up and bring it home.

I also highly recommend the Ikebana workshop. Or any of their workshops!

Can’t wait to go back again and again.

DO NOT RENT THIS VENUE! NO AIR CONDITIONING INSIDE! My daughter's July 2022 bridal shower was a disaster! My guests sweated profusely for 2 hours. How can you rent out a venue in FLORIDA in SUMMER without disclosing it is NOT air conditioned? Greed is the only answer. This venue is not cheap, it would have been worth every penny WITH AIR CONDITIONING.

Very nice store. Large space. Lots of furniture and decorations for the home. Fairly good selection of plants as well. Friendly staff.

Love coming here. Always great plants and decor things to buy. Plenty of species we’ve never seen or heard of before. Service is always great and the plant subscription is a must-have for plant lovers.

This place was highly recommended by a co-worker to me. When I went for the 1st time the staff was very rude. When I asked questions about 2 different plants they hesitated to answer me both times and were very short with the answers. I cannot give my money to a place like that. Awful 1st time there. Will never return.

Besides the employees and management being unfriendly, nearly most of their inventory is bought from Aliexpress, Amazon, and other cheap site and then resold at nearly 150% markup price.
Their plants are poorly managed as I have seen many pest infections regularly.
DO yourself a favor and find a genuine plant shop.

1st time here and all I can say is wow! Super cute place, huge selection, and extremely helpful and friendly staff! Will certainly return
