The Plant Outpost

Sarah was super lovely to talk to, and her plants are healthy, well-stocked and like walking through an orangerie. My husband found a rare plant he was missing for his collection and my daughter found some collectible temporary tattoos and stickers. Sarah also tuned us into the rest of the cargo district and recommendations for local hotspots. A wonderful afternoon!!!

I purchased a plant from here that was absolutely infested with mealybugs :( the plant was placed into isolation as soon as it was brought into my home, so I am certain that it was brought inside with the mealybugs. This was over a year ago so hopefully this isn’t still an issue. Aside from the devastation that I’ve faced as a result of this, this store is super cute and has a great selection of plants. Update: Management cannot seem to handle anything but outpouring positivity in their reviews!

Wonderful shop with interesting plants at reasonable prices! We stopped in while checking out the cargo district a few weeks ago. Brought home two new plants, and they are both doing well, with one now flowering. Good experience overall.

I’ve lived in multiple states and plant outpost is by far my favorite plant store. They have beginner plants all the way to the exotic ones you can’t ever seem to find anywhere. The staff is always so friendly and helpful. This store will always have such a special place in my heart and I am so thankful they are here in Wilmington.

The Plant Outpost is a valuable part of our community. Plants have a way to calm me and make me feel comforted and walking into this business gives me that feeling. Their plants are always so healthy and priced in a way that’s competitive while still able to support a small family owned business. Not to mention their merch is 🔥. I find the comments about “rude” customer service frustrating because Sarah and Dakotah are just introverts yall (as a fellow introvert it’s pretty clear!). They’re quiet and kind and knowledgeable and approachable. Not every store owner needs to boisterously greet customers and schmooze. Anytime I’ve shopped in this store (which over the years is countless, shoutout to the original shipping container!) I’ve been treated with kindness and never rushed or bothered when taking my sweet time admiring their inventory. THATS what I want in good customer service. Wilmington loves the Plant Outpost and so do I ❤️
