Seattle Seed Co., Seattle, WA
Again, we head out west, but this time to a shop that specializes in things like vegetables, herbs, and microgreens. Of course, all the usual suspects are still available—air plants, cacti, and vases included—but Seattle Seed Company goes beyond typical houseplants and provides a full range of choices for those looking to diversify their plant collections. And no plant boutique would be complete without a wide selection of gardening supplies—from potting soil to garden stones, pruning shears, and shovels. In this lovely shop, the options are not only practical, but also stylish.
The Sill, New York, NY
The Sill has long been one of our go-to resources for plant care and advice. Fueled by the simple fact that plants make people happy, their experts place emphasis on education and functionality—thus making things super easy for first-time plant parents and city dwellers who aren’t sure which plants are the best fit for their space (or lifestyle). Though The Sill will happily ship healthy potted plants directly to your doorstep, there’s nothing like browsing their greens IRL at either of their two New York City locations, where plants are grouped into categories like “for small spaces” and “pet-friendly” for ease.
