Home Services reviews in Portland, Oregon

Love this place! If you like gardening, native plants, permaculture, locally made goods - than you will love exploring this gem of a shop. So many amazing native plants with really helpful explanations and tips, well organized. I learned so much just by walking around and looking at everything. They also had an amazing selection of gardening tools that seemed really high quality, and sweet gifts, books, and art for all ages. The staff were very helpful and sweet. And I especially loved that they were all masked and request customers mask as well - this made it feel actually safe to bring in my baby who is too young to wear a mask herself. Thank you!!

Superb garden shop, wonderful experience! They meticulously curate their selection and promote high quality products, from local suppliers, that are environmentally and socially responsible. Loved their huge selection of native plants and organic fertilizer options. Staff members were prompt to answer our questions and help us out. We are excited to have this place so close to our home!

I have been there twice and staff have been unfriendly to my partner and I both times. During our last visit, there was only one other person in the store with two employee's. The employee's only said a couple words to me and wouldn't speak to my partner (who is a man of color...).

I will not be going back due to this poor treatment. Bummed and hurt because the plants and prices look rad.

One of my favorite plant stores/ nurserys. They are my first stop when looking for native plants. They have a lot of unique plants that I have not been able to find any where else.

I had been eyeballing this place every time I would drive down Powell, and this weekend finally had the opportunity to pop in. A wide selection of native plants for the yard, and a lot of indoor plants that I haven't seen at other nurseries. Even a decent variety of hoya plants that I don't usually see at other houseplant sellers, and for the best prices I've seen so far (about $12-15 for a 4", if you know you know). Going in, I expected to cruise the selection, see what interested me, and probably leave with a plant or two. I happily spent about double what I intended to and have no regrets about supporting a business that is so clearly sustainably oriented. From in-house propagations (for very reasonable prices) to house-brand soil amendments to the unique herb and edibles selection, you can tell that these folks care about caring. I could go on and on, but Symbiop is worth checking out for yourself.

Lovely shop, friendly staff, great selection!

I especially appreciate that they have a *very clearly marked* section for their pet-safe houseplants, as most of the time when I go into garden stores I constantly have to have my phone out to double-check whether whatever plant that's caught my eye is also safe for my dog to cohabitate with.

This is my new favorite garden shop! They have an amazing selection of natives, edible and houseplants for the best prices I’ve seen. You can expect to find pretty much everything you need for your garden. The staff is nice and helpful. They also have a zero waste model for selling stuff like shampoo, clothes detergent, etc. You can also find a lot of cool handmade crafts made by small local Portland businesses like artisan soap and colorful planters. I highly recommend!

It's hard to overstate how great SymbiOp is. The staff are passionate about what they do and there is an excellent selection of plants, pots, tools, soil, bird food, seeds, soils, and a whole lot of locally made home goods and jewelry.

The cherry on top is they're worker owned so you can feel even better about shopping with them!

We recently went into the SymbiOp Garden Shop and were impressed with every bit of our experience. As a proud plant mom, I’ve purchased many of my plants from well known nurseries around Portland. Many of the shops here are over priced and have sales associates that lack passion and advanced plant knowledge. SymbiOp was the total opposite. When shopping for plants here, I felt very well taken care of. Not only were the prices affordable (more affordable than other Portland shops), I thought the quality of the plants were well maintained and there was a good variety of species and locally crafted products. What I loved most about my experience was instantly feeling like I was walking into a community. It has a beautiful sense of culture and inclusivity. Every associate, including the owner Matt, expressed a deep knowledge of the plants and they were helpful in providing tips and suggestions. We bought four plants about a month ago and they’re just as beautiful as the day we brought them home.

I don't know how anyone could even think of giving less than 5 stars. I have worked with two different people in the store on three occasions and each time I received exemplary customer service that was above and beyond. On two of the occasions they were very busy but they both took all the time necessary to thoughtfully answer my multitude of questions and help me problem solve landscaping challenges. There was no sense of rushing or annoyance. Their advice was very sound and has proven extremely helpful. The quality of their outdoor plants has exceeded that of other nurseries and their peat free soil is amazing for gardening. It's also clear that they live up to their social justice values and are not being performative or using it to just sell their products. I have referred the store to others and they had the same experiences. I just wish I had gotten the name of the two wonderful people that helped me so I could give them a specific shout out.

I wouldn't recommend buying from this nursery!! Here's why First of all they only offer 7 day warranty on their plants, which are way overpriced!! 2nd, I bought several plants, but they were not what the label said, completely different varieties, and I paid a price for what I wanted but ended up with a completely different thing! 3rd their 1 gallon plant/tree died, no refund. It didn't have leaves, how would I know it wasn't dead during the winter at their nursery?! I am very disappointed with customers' service!
Search around there are many good nurseries around but definitely not this one!

This shop was recommended to me by another nursery when I couldn't find some natives I was seeking. The selection is small but you will find things that aren't available everywhere. Their focus is on plants that are native to our climate. I am trying to replace a bunch of existing stuff that hasn't been doing so well with our crazy new weather with things that can handle it better. I really appreciate their commitment to inclusion and love supporting small and local businesses.

Lots of native plant options & some pretty/unusual finds along with air plants & succulents
Helpful friendly and very knowledgeable staff
& they host fun events

Helpful & friendly staff! Good selection of both indoor and outdoor plants

Super happy with my purchases today. Really friendly and knowledgeable service, a lovely experience! I will be back soon.

As an Ashkenazi person I am super happy to shop at a worker owned garden center that supports the people of Palestine. The humanity on display here makes me feel more welcome than in the other shops in town. I will be bringing my business back again and again.

Best plant shop in Portland! We stop by every time we’re in town 😍😍

This is the best place to buy plants in Portland. The shop also supports local causes and nonprofits as they are able. Love them.

Best nursery in town! Great plants, kind and helpful employees and the absolute best vibe.

Great selection nice people, sales always going on and community focused. Well informed staff thats looking out for your interests. Love the flags hung up and that they're humanity and local animal focused.

Such a great find! Lots of indoor and outdoor plants from simple to rare. Prices are outstanding. Would definitely recommend.
