“Hands down some of the nicest people I've ever had the pleasure of purchasing from. The shop is thoughtfully arranged and I'd bet they have something for everyone. AND they provided stellar advice which I genuinely appreciated.”

-David L.

“Urban Jungle is hands down one of the best retail additions to the neighborhood! All of the employees are very nice and very helpful. If you don't see something, ask! It might be in a corner or some other place that you haven't noticed, or they may be able to order something for you. UJ has everything from houseplants, to Christmas trees & ornaments, to annuals & vegetable plants, to candles and large planters. It's a great Neighborhood Place to support and certainly worth a regular swing by just to see what's new. Definitely stop in.”

“The staff at the Urban Jungle is very nice and friendly and always aware of the costumer needs.
I have to say that I truly love this place and more than a business that sells a product to me it seems more like a place where you can trade your money for beautiful plants that will look great and bring peace and beauty to your home.”

-Deion A.

“This is by far the best plant store I've been to. The staff is very friendly and helpful. If you're looking for something specific or want a second opinion be sure that they would help you out. The store has everything you could ask for from herbs to succulents to every kind of pot/soil possible. The layout is also great. Definitely will revisit whenever I need gardening stuff.”
