Join us outside the shop for our monthly Sidewalk Repotting day
No tickets needed but RSVP appreciated! Bring up to 3 plants from home to get repotted by one of our plant care experts directly outside the shop along our sidewalk.
No fee, we only charge for soil. Bring pots from home or select from one of ours!
Looking to have more plants repotted or can’t make this date? You can always schedule an appointment with us! Click here for more details.
PLUS, from 10AM-12PM we will be joined by Baltimore Tree Trust for a native tree giveaway (while they last!). Registering here does not guarantee you a tree.
