Raleigh's One Stop Garden Shop

Logans Garden HouseOne of my favorite things to shop for are plants. But not just any plants. The ones specifically at Logan’s at Raleigh’s Seaboard Station. Why do I say so? ‘Cause I think they’ve got the best selection I’ve ever seen. There are so many options. I can easily spend over an hour at that place. They’re also very helpful with hints and how to take care of plants. I’m a house plant girl but come spring or summer, I like to find outdoor plants.

Here’s Super Friendly and Helpful Bob.

He suggested these Calathea plants for me in my office that gets northern light exposure. The one he’s holding is actually the one I bought. It’s got some pink lines running through each leaf. He made a funny about how it reminded him of that elementary school art project where you take the carbon paper and with another piece of paper rub and draw with a writing tool over it. That took me back for a second. I chuckled ‘cause I remember carving out a giraffe once. I think it was in fourth grade or so.

They’ve got a huge pot selection too. But the funny thing is they didn’t have the one color of pot I was looking for which is a red pot ‘cause I have a red wall in my office that I wanted it to go with. But then a woman came out and asked me if I needed some help. And I told her what I was looking for and she immediately went in the back to see if they had anything like it. They didn’t but Bob showed me some other options with her and I found what I needed.

Logan’s also has some great gifts inside that you gotta check out. A lot of unique true-ism gifts and home improvement goods.

I bought some fresh peaches too, to bring home. They usually have a nice selection by the check out area. They also offered me a Logan’s Reward Card and told me the benefits so I signed up. It was free. You accumulate points I believe like you would with any other frequent flyer type card.
