If you’ve ever thought about starting an indoor garden, there’s no time like the pandemic — er, present.
For those of us spending more time at home than usual lately, plants offer more benefits than just beautifying your space.
Studies have found that indoor plants can reduce stress and improve your mood and productivity — a nice perk if you’re still working from home. Some houseplants like pothos and snake plants can even remove toxins and purify the air in your home, according to a NASA study.
The best part of starting an indoor garden is that you can do it — and support local businesses — almost entirely from home. Here are six metro-Phoenix plant shops that offer pick-up and/or delivery.
Pueblo
Pueblo, located in the Historic Garfield District, has been “Downtown Phoenix’s plant shop” since 2015. They sell a variety of plants, candles, pottery and more.
If you see a plant you like on their Instagram page, you can call to purchase it and schedule a pick-up. Their Instagram also features pots and planters for sale, store updates and the occasional picture of Ben, the shop’s cutest (and furriest) employee.
Pueblo recently opened a second location in Venice, California, with plans to expand the Phoenix shop too, according to a recent Instagram post.
Location: 1102 E. Pierce St., Phoenix, AZ 85006.
Hours: Monday-Friday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday-Sunday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Dig It Gardens
Just outside downtown Phoenix, Dig It Gardens offers “diverse plant material, unique pottery and a positive vibe,” according to their website.
The shop’s website lists plants by height and price, so you can find one that perfectly fits your space and place a pick-up order online.
Bonus: Dig It Gardens frequently updates their Instagram with discounts, new plants and other quirky items for sale.
Location: 3015 N. 16th St., Phoenix, AZ 85016.
