A Proper Garden

Beautiful flowers, plants, trees. Gift store is full of «must haves»… Romantic charm. Beautiful wreaths, furniture, candles, seaonak items. Friendly staff will create whatever you need for your home. A bit more expensive than most. but worth it.

We ate at The Proper Garden café and loved the food! My wife and I liked the quiche so much we felt it was the best one we’ve had anywhere! Their food is amazing and made us feel like we were in Napa for lunch! A very cool oasis for lunch!

Purchased a «fresh» bouquet which was beautiful for 24 hours and then wilted with a vengeance. I am embarrassed by how much I payed for this arrangement.

I relocated from Southern California where the shopping is superb.
As a retired Interior Designer I will enthusiastically recommend this beautiful well appointed shop! The buyers have a great eye for the unusual. You will find very well made and unique home décor here. I have overall been fairly disappointed in the selection of boutique home furnishing stores in Columbus. They all carry the same merchandise. A Proper Garden is a bit more on the pricey side of retail, but well worth it. They obviously cater to the more discerning customer. I have only been in the winter when the outdoor nursery is closed during the winter months. I’m looking forward to seeing the outdoor nursery. I have heard great things about the pottery and plant selection. The store and bakery are a lovely and charming place to shop and enjoy a hand crafted pastry and coffee. I would even go so far as to say this is the best store I have found in Columbus!
A well designed home interior does not look like everyone else’s. It reflects the sense of style and personality of it’s owners. Dare to be different, check out this hidden gem.
You’ll love it!

It’s unfortunate that I have to review this place so poorly considering they are conveniently located for me and have some really nice items. Of the three times that I have used them, I have been so disappointed with their customer service that I find it unbelievable that they are able to stay in business. Each time I have paid upfront and in full for plants/​installation and each time they tell me that someone will call with a time and date for delivery/​installation. Without fail, each time I have had chase them down and essentially beg them to set up the appointment only to have them never show up and never call. This past time I literally chased them for almost 4 weeks to get them to deliver and plant the tree that I purchased. I would call nearly every day and consistently get the run around (i.e., someone would call me back, so and so is out for lunch, they are super busy, etc.). It’s not until I literally had to threaten cancel the charge with our credit card company that someone finally (and randomly) called on a Saturday morning to say they were coming. I honestly felt like they were holding my tree hostage. I kindly asked them if they would refund the planting fee since it was so late and since the customer service was so horrendous– they of course didn’t. The place is cute but honestly the owners/​operators are a bit snobby. Guess my money wasn’t green enough for them.

Got turned around going someplace else and decided to take a peek in here to see what was what. A quaint little place with a great variety of plants. The prices are a bit steeper than what you would pay at a larger place and much more than at Wallyworld but the variety was far better.
The inside was great if you want to decorate with wreaths or glass globes, cool decorative nik naks. I almost walked off with some old wooden spindles to use as candle holders but got a grip and just settled on some flowers that will continue to bloom into fall.
They also serve food in their little café but no idea when that is as we didn’t notice that part until we were pulling off.

I was greatly surprised by the quaint cuteness of A Proper Garden when I stopped in one quiet afternoon with my mom. When you walk into the shop, there is a calming feeling that just takes over. In this zen shop you will find nik naks and decorations to fill into every nook and cranny in your house. I would say that most are on the steeper price range, but everything you will find here is truly unique.
One aspect of this shop is their little café inside. The café serves daily fresh selections such as soups, salads, and quiche. Since it was past 2pm when lunch is served till, we only had the option of desserts, but they were AMAZING!!! The café has a beautiful case full of cakes, cookies and other sugar filled confections decorated to the nines. We got a chocolate macaron and a mini chocolate covered cheesecake. The macaron was perfectly light and crisp, and the cheesecake was melt in your mouth goodness with the perfect amount of sweet and creaminess.
They also sell plants, but it was still quite chilly out. I can’t wait to go back and visit when flowers are in full bloom and to try out their lunch offerings.

Stopped here to kill some time when the 315-​N extension was clogged due to an accident ahead. Nice folks, pretty flowers, and a pretty expansive selection. As far as flower/​gardening stores go it was a nice place to spend twenty minutes and the flowers, trees, and shrubbery in the greenhouse was quite pretty.
