Always a mess around their property. I wish you would keep the block around your property cleaned up it would really keep the neighborhood looking semi nice. We used to love walking around with our daughter now it’s just trash, needles and people camping.

I didn’t even get to experience this because staff decided to close early every time I go. If the hours say Fridays are open 11-5 then why at 3 pm was it closed

If you say you take SNAP then be set up to take it. Don't make it into a giant production and then invite the poor person to the back of the line, while you figure it out.for the first time? "Oh there's just such a low volume of these kinds of payments. " - a guy who should not be allowed to talk to people. There were 3 employees involved by the time I said I could just pay for everything with a different card.

The best place in the area to get native plants! Prices are amazing and staff is super helpful. Avoid the big box stores and buy something native to this area at Greensgrow instead.

Delightful and worth the trip. Huge selection of succulents as well as annuals and perennials for your garden and pots. Plenty of mulch, soils, clay pots, ceramics. Loved it!

This is an educational non-profit, so Im always happy to support. They have a good selection of plants, although sometimes they look a little rough. Mostly old standards, with a few surprises. Some basic gardening supplies. Organic Mechanics cactus soil! That makes it worth the trip. They could do better with some more natives for sale. Was surprised to not see any native fruit trees growing or for sale. People are super friendly and cool.

I love Greensgrow! The staff are always incredibly friendly and helpful, and you can get pretty much anything you need for your home garden here. I bought four different pepper plants for my rooftop garden, and a large 50lb bag of soil during my last visit, all for under $30. The pepper plants are shown in the attached photo along with other plants on my roof.

The staff are helpful and knowledgeable. In terms of plants and veggies, there is enough for you to select from.

Everyone is always friendly and helpful. The layout is not "corporate" and I can bring my dogs. Been shopping there for years.

Always a solid choice for your outdoor gardening needs! (And probably your indoor ones too, but I’m still an indoor plant newb.) Bonus points for being a pickup spot for TrueLove seed orders too.

A block sized farm in the Port Richmond section of Philadelphia with various activities planned during the year, including a concert series set up by near by Philadelphia Argentine Rango Studio as a fundraiser for the place. Parking is limited in the area due to the houses and businesses that surround the facility, but worthy of a visit.

Great local place for produce and plants. I visited during COVID times, so I'm sure there were a lot less plants than normal, but I still enjoyed visiting. They also had a station on the street for "pay what you want" produce, which I thought was an awesome idea.

I started going to Greensgrow when we moved to Fishtown in 2009. It's such a great place- I've done farm shares and become an avid gardener with Greensgrow as a trusted guide and supplier. Great, helpful people and fantastic selection - I have since moved out of Fishtown but still make the trek to Greensgrow for plants!
