Reviews of local pros in River Forest, Illinois

The most beautiful greenhouse I have ever visited! Fantastic selections! Healthy plants! Not to mention the wonderful staff, ready to give you an honest answer to any questions. They will even order things for you if you are looking for something that they don't have in stock. Amazing customer service!!!

Beautiful fall plants, broom corn, indian corn, corn stalks, and hay bales combined with garden decor and a cafe makes for an enjoyable shopping experience. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The parking lot is easily assessable. A true gem in Forest Park.

They have a wide variety of plants and flowers, but 90% 9f the stuff doesn't have a price and It's very annoying having to ask someone every time I'm interested in something what the price is, thos place is not cheap at all and I just can't afford to load my cart and get a big bill at checkout specially when most items I can get elsewhere for a very reasonable price. They do have a small cafe area and outdoor seating aswell which I found very pleasing and likes alot.

Wonderful Lunch!

Outside temp 37F and Greenhouse is bright sun and 80F with tables to enjoy lunch! Perfect for a Chef prepared artisan sandwich. Originally stopped for a flowering plant and had no idea about cafe! Great selection of sandwiches and salads. :-)

I loved the place. Very nice, organized. Excellent service. They answered all my questions and doubts. I would come back!!

Cute place, but extremely overpriced. Specialty soil and nutrients are double the price of another greenhouse not too far away. I decided to try this place because it's closer, but it was a quick trip. I asked if they price match and they looked at me like I was from Mars. I'm all for supporting local businesses, and I'm even willing to pay a premium for it... but not double.

I found Good Earth online and called with questions, I live out of town and needed a Greenhouse in the River Forest area. The staff was amazing and the service was professional and timely. They went above and beyond to make my purchase easy and product choices were perfect.
I highly recommend them!

Fast servings and many holiday themed items. We wanted a small live tree and found a 4 footer, perfect for our space. We also bought a beautiful poinsettia. Reasonable pricing too.

All of their plants look lush. I've never been there until this year. I went because my son lives in Forest Park. They know how to charge for their products but they also give you what you pay for

Love coming here. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and the owner is wonderful. We come for both indoor/outdoor gardening and a tree/ live tree decor around the holidays. Some things may be a bit pricier than a chain store, but the smaller, friendlier atmosphere makes it well worth it.

Beautiful place to take a stroll when searching for a plant . The plants are in good shape n condition. Reasonable prices. I found some airplants there I was in love with. Service is nice n friendly definitely a place to check out when looking for a different atmosphere to buy plants other then the big box stores.

For the positive,
they sell smoothies and some other simple foods, and their smoothies are amazing, I love them.

For the negative,
This wouldn't be the first place I go for gardening stuff it's probably 2nd, after Empowering Gardens if they don't have what I am looking for.
The prices at this place are a bit higher than one might want, and service can be slow at times.

They truly do have a great selection, and they are open year round, if it's winter go to this place before you go to home depot or Walmart or something like that.

Was in a rush for Valentine’s Day ad they not only stayed open late but customized the bouquet for me. Really appreciated their patience and going out of their way to accommodate my needs (much more than they needed to)! Flowers were absolutely gorgeous and in great shape.

Wonderful selection and staff EXCEPT for the entitled white girl working at the cafe

I love this place. The employees are fantastic. They remember me each time I visit. When I'm there, I feel like the only customer around! Personalized attention and they are super knowledgeable. If you buy a plant and a pot, they will replant it for you. I've bought many plants there and they are excellent quality.

I love that they sell coffee ❤️

It's a great local place to visit. In the Cafe part of it you can order coffees, smoothies, and other treats. There's a little gift shop area within the café, and they also sell cut flowers so you can create a bouquet and buy a gift for someone special while you wait on your hand-crafted drink. In the cooler, they sell sandwiches and other cold snacks as well as desserts from a local bakery.

In the greenhouse, there are lots of indoor plants, succulents, and planters. Bird houses, lawn decor, soils, and fertilizers/pest control. Outside, there are lots of seasonal plants, trees, and hanging potted plants.

The people who work here have always been polite, and the place is clean. I love visiting.

My Absolute Favorite place to shop for Native Flowers for my garden! I am sure to find something different every visit! The Staff is great! Very cheerfully helpful and accommodating.... always a great experience 💚

Well priced local garden center. The staff are all super friendly and helpful. I purchased some potting soil and a baby succulent.

Nice and friendly plant shop with a very good coffee bar. They potted our plant for us (we nabbed a small pine tree) and were very friendly. Can't wait to go back in the spring for my garden.

Such a great selection of plants and incredibly helpful staff. A must stop shop for anyone in the OPRF area.
