*Staff Pick* Houseplant of the week: Monstera Deliciosa 🌿 •Light - grows best in medium to bright, indirect light. •Watering- Water when the top few inches of soil is dry and water until liquid flows through the drainage hole into the saucer. Discard any remaining water that has accumulated in the saucer as a Monstera never wants to stay in sitting water. •Fertilize - once a month with a houseplant fertilizer of your choice. • Humidity - the Monstera is not humidity-sensitive like some tropical plants, but if you want to give it a special treat now and then, occasionally mist the plant leaves. When misting, its best to do so in the morning so that the water has plenty of time to evaporate.🌿

Sharman Ballantine

It was a longish drive for me, but well worth it because they still had cedar window boxes left! I bought five. It is a lovely store with all kinds of gift items and clever ideas. All they needed was a coffee shop. I will be back when I have more time to shop. I also bought three small houseplants and a darling outside door mat.

Tierra LaPierre

The plants here have so much vitality. If I get a little neglectful they are resilient and bounce back like magic. Plants from Lowes or Home Depot are nothing like this. Additionally, all the staff are incredibly knowledgeable/helpful, and the place is designed beautifully. It is well worth paying a little more to get quality plants from Longfellow’s.

Sarah Dyer

What a great place. It’s family friendly – and has an amazing selection of everything! Will definitely make the trip back. Everyone we met was so friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our morning here.
