Eco Gro

Always a great place to nice plants of various kinds. Staff is very friendly and always very helpful and knowledgeable. Great prices, definitely going back!

Eco Grow is an exceptional plant shop in Tucson. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by kind employees and a beautiful dog (Ella!). The staff was more than willing to help me pick out the perfect plant and pot and they even potted it for me! I loved my experience here and would recommend it to anyone looking for quality plants and kind people!

Great vibe and selection of weird plants. They also have fish! The workers were super friendly and even potted the plant for us before we left.

Everybody over here was very helpful helping me pick out the right assortment. Everybody was very nice and kind. The price was right on point. They had a lot of good variety.

The staff and owner here are some of the coolest, most knowledgeable people when it comes to caring for plants. The plants are very affordable (often cheaper than you'd find in garden sections of big box stores!) and they offer free plant potting with purchase of a pot. I believe you can also bring in your own plants and have them repotted with purchase of some soil/pots if you don't feel comfortable transferring your own when they outgrow their pots. They also offer free classes on Saturdays - I attended a Carnivorous Plant class and I'm happy to say the knowledge gained has helped me keep my beloved pitcher going even when I previously killed every single plant I owned. I will always stop by and snag up a plant or two (and say hi to Bowser the snapping turtle) whenever I have the opportunity.

Stopped in for some house plants- the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about what would fit my needs best. They even offer to repot your plants with a purchase of a pot. They have a variety of plants available, locally made ceramic pots, plastic pots, and your basic terracotta pots. The locally made pots are a bit on the expensive side but worth it in my opinion.

This was such a fun place to come to! There were quite a few people available to help answer questions. I loved that they had a nice variety of hard to find cacti. I wanted them all and I had a hard time narrowing down my selection. Value was pretty good. The bigger the plant, the higher the price, just like everyone else. But they had a nice selection of smaller plants and cacti if you don't mind waiting for things to grow. I asked a-lot of questions and the person I spoke with was very knowledgeable. I will definitely come here again. I love finding cacti and plants that are "weird" that you jut can't find at the big box stores. Come here if you're tired of seeing the same ole same ole, stuff everywhere else.They have a frequent shopper program and a free repotting of plant ( some exclusions) if you buy a plant and a pot. Except when I paid for the a pot and a plant the cashier didn't do it, and that was after I was told about it when I was still shopping. So I felt weird if I asked, I just stayed quiet because I thought maybe it wasn't complimentary like I had been told.

We stumbled upon this little plant shop on accident with no intentions of purchasing a plant. The staff was super friendly and answered any questions we had. They seem to be bombarded with questions from customers but seem to handle the volume pretty well. I can't wait to go back. I love the location with easy access. We ended up spending a pretty penny and started a grow which was a nice plus.

Eco Gro is still one of the best plant stores around. They've got a unique selection of plants, soil starters, pots and more. The variety biz what sets them apart. But also the great people working there. Their knowledge and enthusiasm is evident. This is a great spot to also learn more about taking care of your plants and troubleshooting any issues you might be experiencing.

WOW! I actually wasn't planning to go, but I passed EcoGro on my way between Desert Survivors and Drutopia, saw the "Weird Plants" sign everyone had talked about, knew the store had great reviews, and immediately found a spot to U-turn. Though I hadn't been planning to stop, I couldn't NOT go in when it was right there, could I?There was ample parking out front, with a few displays. Most of the rest was inside. I went on a Saturday afternoon, and while it wasn't overly crowded, it was definitely a popular spot -- and I could quickly see why.First of all, the staff members were very friendly. Several different people came along to ask if I needed help, and all seemed quite knowledgeable. They showed me different products, answered my questions (even about plants I had at home and hadn't bought from there), and gave me advice based on my particular situation. One even took me into the room where they repot the plants and showed me their different soils, explaining the composition of each to me. (I'd had questions about whether to repot my plants or not when I got them home.) Many stores put their plants in bad, cheap soil in the hopes the plants will sell before the soil affects them and the customer will have to deal with it, but I was very impressed with what they used there. It also sounds like they grow most or all of their own plants in local greenhouses, which is important to me.For such a small space, I was very impressed by how much they fit inside. They had a variety of soil amendments and a good selection of planting supplies, several fish and turtle tanks, and both tropical houseplants and cacti/succulents. Best of all, they lived up to their "Weird plants" sign, providing me with several wish list plants, including two I've had an almost impossible time finding anywhere, either in person or online! (Variegated hoya Hindu rope and variegated string of pearls.) Yay!!! I was over the moon to find those, and for decent prices, too.Yes, some of the plants cost more than the cheap greenery you might find at a big-box hardware store's gardening center. But it did not feel unreasonable. The soil is very good instead of the soggy, cheap stuff the "competition uses." The plants are well-tended, neither flooded and rotting nor dry and wilting, and I didn't find any pests when I looked. Plus, many of the species are MUCH harder to find in big-box stores (or even most nurseries), if not impossible, so if you want something unusual, this is a good place for it. Many of the plants are not only very rare, but also slow-growers and/or tricky to care for, which takes a lot of greenhouse space, time, and know-how from workers, both to propagate them and then to keep them alive long enough for customers to buy them. These plants are also grown here, cutting down on carbon emissions and supporting regular, local people instead of corporations. So, yes, quite worth it!
