Home Services reviews in Portland, Oregon

AMAZING service with Wet Kat, the staff is well versed in their knowledge, their Customer support is top notch, used in many communities and they are always the VERY BEST. Thank you to Genevieve for the excellent support and Nichelle for always supporting the clients!

Our 50 year old HOA Pool was in disrepair. Wet Kat, and Michelle specifically, turned our pool around. We have had the best experience with the entire staff. They are prompt, caring, mindful of our budget and nothing short of exceptional.
Our pool is constantly clean and glimmering. I cannot recommend more highly.

Great selection of native plants and gardening supplies. They even have a really cute gift area where we bought some beautiful cards. Will definitely be coming back here often!

Gorgeous space with a wide variety of native plants, houseplants, garden supplies, and gifts. The owners and staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. Plus they're a worker- and BIPOC/LGBTQ-owned business. Highly recommend!

Excellent selection of native plants, beautiful local artwork. Will shop here again!

This shop looks appealing but the charm only lasts so long. It's vital to inspect/quarantine any houseplants you buy from here (or just don't buy them at all). A few weeks after purchasing a monstera from this garden store I found it was badly infested with thrips. This was my first experience with a houseplant pest of this magnitude so by the time I realized what was happening they spread to other beloved plants and several, including the monstera itself, have had to be thrown out. I had to throw out another tonight, which prompted me to write this review. I've been a plant person for over a decade and this has been my single worst experience buying a plant - very disappointed and will not be encouraging anyone to shop here. The prices are also quite high in general.

Right out the door, SymbiOp had the widest selection of native plants of any nursery in Portland. Very reasonable prices, too. I'm looking foreard to seeing what they offer as we begin to move into spring.

This was my first visit, so I mostly just stopped by to cruise the aisles for future reference. I loved all the great natural gardening resources. The place also has a big community vibe! I look forward to shopping there later in the season.

Such a great space. Besides having any native, medicinal and edible plant you could want, the staff was so helpful. I came in with my 4-year-old and my 1.5-year-old twins in a wagon and they let me start a "plant pile" at the register so I didn't have to struggle carrying them or have my kids tear them apart in the wagon. One employee then helped me out to my car. We will definitely be back to get more plants and support such an awesome buisness!

I really enjoy shopping at SymbiOp to discover more alternative products l have not seen offered by other retailers. It was great to find a line of food products from an Arizona Pima tribal member and her family on my last visit. Ramona Farms is reviving the agriculture of native desert foods once grown by her people.
The shop and online educational articles for backyard growers to regional environmental policies are very refreshing. Good job being done by the hardworking worker-owners.

We spent about an hour here before buying a full cart of beautiful Oregon native plants, flags, pins, patches, hot sauce, carnivorous plants, house plants like philodendron, gloves. You name it, they have it. You have to check it out.

The *only* problem with SymbiOp is that I always leave with more art than I needed... otherwise, an amazing, welcoming, and friendly place.

Constantly impressed with their dedication to native plants and really love how tags suggest that less familiar plants can be used in place of daffodils, for example. They often have the same species in multiple ages, so you can kind of pick your budget too -- super handy when you're prone to impulse purchases.

...how did I get all these salmonberry bushes...

Speaking of the art, their collection of goods from local artists (dat soap tho) and book library keep getting better. It sure does feel like they're part of the community!

Queer friendly! love the plant selection as well as local art on display.

I frequently browse garden shops for things that I “need” and jeez I walked out with a handful of goods! Such a good selection of native plants (and seeds), good quality hand tools, reference books, and other odds and ends. Great social media presence too—give them a follow for sure on Insta!

my jewish self, my jewish husband, and my jewish mother-in-law visited over the weekend. i got some seeds for native flowers that i'm going to germinate over winter and there were some cute stickers that he got. i'll be going back for the barrel planters soon and hopefully they'll have more palestinian flags in stock by then so we can get one of those, too. we'll hang it on the window by our front door, next to our mezuzah. i feel a lot safer at this shop than i do in most shuls, i'll say that much

Just took a wildflower ball/bomb making class here that was informative, engaging, and delightful. I swing by SymbiOp at least once a month to pick up indoor plant buddies or to augment the outdoor environment around my home. They focus on regional flora and offer guides to help with plant selection and placement that create mini ecosystems to benefit local fauna (us two legged animals included). The staff is always extremely helpful, and passionate about cultivating an inclusive, restorative approach to gardening and community. They currently also have a Winter Market full of locally produced, thoughtful gifts.

By far the best selection of native plants in Portland! I've been to at least 4 or 5 other nurseries and SymbiOp is #1 for natives. They also have their own peat-free soil that is very affordable, and I honestly didn't know that peat was a problem until I learned it here. I was pleased by how much handmade art and household items by local Native American artisans that they sold. In addition, because of their upfront support of the LGBTQ community and the fact that they're worker-owned, I felt like this is a store _for_ people like me.

Great selection friendly staff and constant sales.They really care about the community and I love the flags supporting humanity and local animals

This is probably my favorite garden shop in Portland. They have a pretty great variety, but my favorite part is the many native plants they offer. Additionally, every member of the staff that I have spoken with is extremely knowledgable and has always been very helpful….and patient even when I think my questions might be kind of dumb haha. Love this place.

Decent plant selection, but do a close inspection before taking anything home. Bought a plant two months ago that had fungus gnats that I'm still dealing with. Also their plants have death plugs, so if your plant ends up dying, it's not your fault - it's theirs.

Always so friendly and helpful! A great place to pick up native plants and learn from the very knowledgeable staff.
