The growing popularity of indoor gardening and fostering house plants only swelled during the pandemic. At Arth Group we believe doing your civic duty is as easy as shopping local. We’ve rounded up the four must-visit plant places in the Wilmington area for all your indoor plant needs.
Indoor plants are instant mood boosters. They filter the air and are one of our secret weapons in staging homes for sale. Freshen any work-from-home setup or bring a dull corner to life. Sometimes the best way to bring life to a space is to literally add a living thing.
Here are our top four picks for shopping exotic and indoor houseplants:
Transplanted Garden
502 S. 16th St., Wilmington
This downtown haven may seem small from the street, but up close it packs a flowering punch. Customers will find a wide range of species all set around a small cottage at The Transplanted Garden. An indoor greenhouse complete with beautiful custom pottery and ceramics is home to a number of indoor and exotic plants.
Plant Outpost
1607 Queen Street, Wilmington
If you haven’t followed The Plant Outpost’s adventures on social media, you may certainly catch a case of FOMO (fear of missing out.) This plant store (housed in a shipping container) is lighting up the horticultural scene in town with numerous plants in small containers, plus care guides for each — perfect for those new “plant parents.”
The Plant Place
6114 Market St., Wilmington
On Market Street, The Plant Place is home to rows and rows of growing houses. While most are dedicated to growing something seasonal, like mums, find at least one greenhouse with a selection of indoor and exotic plants, plus a gift shop to find just the right container.
Pender Pines Nursery
20949 U.S. 17, Hampstead
Pender Pines is like an entire world placed into a nursery. There are live animals (yes even emus) and gardens to wander through. Inside their large greenhouse full of indoor plants, shop for exotic species and mature plants among parrots and turtles all basking in the warm air.
No matter how seasoned of a plant person you are, there are plenty of resources in the local Wilmington area that provide a plethora of options when it comes to incorporating plants into your home aesthetic.
