I ADORE this place! They have beautiful plants and it feels like you’re walking into a jungle when you come in. They have so many types of plants to buy and also have a bulk soap refill station!

UPDATE: The owner reached out with apology, explanation of extenuating circumstances, and offer to make it right. Have not had time to return to store or utilize online options yet, so I cannot speak to the quality of the plants, but I do very much appreciate the dedication to customer service. ORIGINAL: Closed during posted business hours (2pm Wed) with no explanation. We had driven from Fuquay-Varina to Durham, as we had been given a gift certificate by an out-of-state relative with creative gift ideas but limited geographic understanding. Utter waste of time, gas, parking, and tolls.

Damien At Zen Succulent has helped me keep my three beautiful plants healthy! He gives me just enough information to be really useful, but not overwhelming. I don’t have a good history with plants, but with wise advice, I have managed to keep my beautiful round snake plant, my bird’s nest and my rattlesnake plant looking pretty great!

My cousin sent me a gift certificate for my birthday and I was thrilled to put it to good use today! Staff were welcoming and answered ALL of my questions about a zillion plants until I narrowed down my choice. I’m confident that the plants I picked will survive in my apartment because I was able to bring home ones specially suited for the kind of light I have. It was my first time in, but won’t be my last!
