Foliage Garden

as a professional florist, I highly recommend Foliage Garden. I have used their plants for many years in both outside seasonal deck planters and in large charity event fund raisers. They are the only store on the block that has their own greenhouse on Long Island, and have a great inventory of exotic trees and plants. Innovators of design, Foliage a Garden sets trends on new ways to display orchids with succulents and bromeliads that are emulated throughout the flower district. My very chic upper East Side clients always call in awe of the beauty that Foliage Garden creates for me. The store displays always make me wish I had endless room at home to create a tropical jungle, but I settle for a couple of their great orchids, fabulous ferns, hanging pitcher plants, and a few amazing succulents.

They may have beautiful plants on display, but it stops here. The cactus my girlfriend and I purchased was already dead until we realized it ten days later. The cactus showed signs of rot as the fungus grew from the root system. I had to take the cactus out to eventually find out that the bottom of the cactus was wounded on two locations right above the root system and hidden enough in the soil. No one would have noticed until the fungus spreads out and it was too late. Additionally, after speaking with an expert, the soil was a wrong mix and extremely moist in the center which means they had no clue how to grow a cactus.
I highly recommend to double-​check what you are doing before even doing business with this store.

I have waited months to write this review because that’s how long it has taken me to TRY and revive the 2 plants I bought from this place that were almost DOA when they arrived at my office.
I was looking for some non-​standard office plants that were pretty to look at and not require a lot of maintenance. I picked up a mini hydrangea which I thought was very interesting and so I proceeding to ask the guy at counter how this would do indoors in an office specifically. He gave me a very short answer that with light it would do fine. I asked about another plant that was sitting outside. Same type of generic and uninterested response.
Fast forward to today and both plants have died after meticulous care. Also after doing some internet research turns out both plants are NOT office appropriate despite the clerk saying they were. And the one I found outdoors is actually an outdoor plant, not even close to being an office plant.
Beautiful plants. Crappy service and apparently liars. How hard is it to take a few moments to listen to what your customer wants?

By far the most beautiful and well merchandised store in the flower district. They have gorgeous plants and a large selection to choose from including at times some very exotic species and hybrids. The plants offered are of an astonishing variety of colors, textures, growth habits, leaf and flower forms. They also carry some of greatest varieties of orchids on the block although availability varies. The sales people leave one to browse around in peace and have been all the same people for years which I take as a sign that they treat their employees quite well. I would give this place five stars if it weren’t for their exuberant prices.

Foliage Garden saved the day! I had to find a live kumquat tree fast, and after calling half a dozen plant shops in the flower district with no success, I was eventually referred to Foliage Garden. Not only did they have a kumquat tree (three, in fact, and all were fruitful and healthy), everyone in the shop was exceedingly friendly, they let me take my time and decide which tree I wanted, and then wrapped it up for me quickly and perfectly. The man who was helping me even set up my dolly for me and tied the tree down to it with a darling ribbon! I would recommend Foliage Garden to anyone looking for plants and flowers, and I can’t wait to go back and pick out some lovelies for myself. The tree was a little pricy, but you get what you pay for, and the quality is excellent. A+!

I was actually on my way to lunch when I passed by the block of these plant shops. Ironically, I totally forgot I worked near all these shops. I was gonna have lunch then go search for succulent plants somewhere. This was not the first shop I saw. I actually went into every one of the shops leading up to Foliage Garden to check prices on what I needed. This was the cheapest place, and they had a good selection of what I wanted. They don’t approach you to see if you need help, so you have to approach them. Once you do, they’re pretty nice. I bought 5 varieties of mini succulents. The guy amazingly packed it only with tissue paper and a bag but in such a way that the plants didn’t budge in the bag. Told me how to take care of them too.
They also have a vast selection of orchids (quite pricey) and lots of other plants. They do close at 3:00, so don’t think about coming here after work. But they open at 6 am.

My review is for the Wholesale to the trade only division of this company.
If you are a florist or interior designer bring your resale form or tax exempt form. Delivery availble for a fee. $$$
Great plants more pricey than others but really good quality.
The staff is helpful.

Probably one of the priciest plant vendors on the block, but these guys also have a wider, more «exotic» array of plant choices. They’re absolutely wonderful to deal with, & they keep a lovely stock of bromeliads, succulents & orchids, as well as other interesting stuff (which changes from day to day).

Wecome to garden lane. I stumbed across the block where Foliage Garden reigns and found one plant shop after the other. The price for starting a garden is really priceless. However, although priceless, the prices here are really affordable. Make some space on your roomtop and start a little garden, or even just get one plant for your living room table. They say plants make you happy, lift your spirits, that kind of stuff.
