Wonderful selection of native plants in good condition.
Thanks so much for the 5 stars. We work hard to keep our plants well stocked and healthy!

Reviewers highlight the store's extensive selection of native and houseplants, noting that staff are generally knowledgeable and helpful in selecting appropriate species. Customers appreciate the organized layout and free parking, though some describe pricing as higher than competitors. Recurring criticisms include inconsistent service quality, with complaints about condescending attitudes toward beginners, limited stock of specific annuals, and a lack of warranty on commercial planting contracts.

We've been customers for 15 years - great service and knowledge. It's a pleasure doing business with them.
Thanks Connie, It's always a pleasure to help you!
The best native plant selection in Chicago I've found. That said, it's hit and miss with how knowledgeable the staff is. Some know their stuff and other seem oblivious.
Great options for houseplants, the garden, tools, and some local/plant-themed gifts. They have a great selection of bulbs and african violets. Very helpful staff!
We are so happy you found what you were looking for. Thanks for the 5 stars! Best, Marina
Super helpful staff and lots of selection given its size. I always walk out with a gorgeous selection for my window boxes and planters. Free parking in the back.
Thanks Ally, We are happy when our customers are satisfied! Best, Marina
Love all the variety of flowers & plants. Everyone was very friendly but Bathroom was very disgusting.
OOps, Thanks for bringing it to our attention. We try to stay on top of all of it but sometimes non-plant items fall through the cracks! Kind regards, Marina
I love native plants and got a great serviceberry tree here. They have an incredible selection of other native plants as well. Cooper is an expert and made the whole process extraordinarily easy!
Thanks for your kind words and 5 stars. Cooper is the best! We are grateful for your business and hope you enjoy your serviceberries. regards, Marina

Beautifully designed store with a wide selection of plants and accessories and friendly, knowledgeable staff - overall a very positive and empowering plant shopping experience! I’m a first-time plant buyer and shopper at Christy Webber, and was a bit wary as I’ve managed to kill all the plants I’ve been gifted over the years except one. I explained this to a staff person at the store when I arrived. Without judgment, they listened to my preferences and walked me through options for plants that require minimal light/watering, and how to pick the appropriate size pot. Then they lent me a tape measure and gave me the time and space I needed to browse. I fell in love with one plant. I also had a particular color and style of pot in mind. Not only did the staff person spend a good deal of time looking for the ideal fit pot with me. When we couldn’t find it, they recommended another store for me to visit, which I did and returned later with the pot. My selected plant was waiting for me by the counter. I received extensive guidance for how to care for my plant from multiple staff members. Although Christy Webber offers complimentary potting, I wanted to pot on my own, and received tips for how to do this correctly, along with a vote of confidence. (The staff at Christy Webber clearly love plants, people, and their jobs.) My partner and I are really happy with our new purchase, and “Gus” - a 2.5' seven-stemmed Dracaena Marginata - is adjusting to his new home. You may pay more at Christy Webber than you would at a Home Depot or CostCo, but it’s worth it for the quality of the products and shopping experience.
Thank you so much Taneka we're so thrilled that you were thrilled!!! And we appreciate your observation that we "clearly love plants, people and jobs" - we truly do! Best wishes to you and Gus!
