Ginkgo Garden

I absolutely had an amazing time shopping there. Actually went on a date and we stopped there first bc he knew I lo r gardening. Wow. I already planted the plants. I'm in love with that store and will be back. I'll add photos later.

Ginkgo has so many options - I could spend a good hour there. The herb and flower selection are fun to sort through. Good local option for newbies and plant lovers.

I was very excited to come hear about hearing good things. I was looking for something particular that a friend had found here. I asked a long haired male employee for help, and he just told me to look around for it. The place is huge with lots of variety of plants, so I wasted time because I couldn't find it. with that being said, very poor customer service. Wasted my time here.

I came determined to buy herbs and vegetables I could grow from my patio. At first, I was a bit intimidated because I clearly hadn't don't much research but I quickly found an employee who answered all my questions, pointed me to the right products and even took a look at an orchid I've been keeping alive for years without reblooming. Great team and selection!

I have never been to a more unpleasant and rude store in my life. All of the staff (like 8) were walking around and ignoring everyone. Ew. I'll never go back.

Although there is a great selection of plants/ horticulture, the old guy that is either the owner or an employee has a terrible attitude which he attempts to hide with snide remarks and a disingenuous smile! Outside of this abrassive individual the other staff members are wonderfully helpful, pleasant and professional. Please check out other plant buying options in the neighborhood.this man makes the buying experience at Ginkgo Gardens horrible!

We've sent others to Ginkgo Gardens to see if my experience was an isolated incident. It appears this grumpy old guy doesn't like certain groups of individuals. Pitiful Ginkgo Gardens

I took my plant there to be repotted. Spoke to this nice lady who said to bring it and it will be done within a few hours and they will call when ready. 2 days later I call them and they did not even know that they had my plant. The work had not been done. And when I expressed my frustration by saying omg, this very rude guy starts yelling at me and talking over me. Super sarcastic too. Clearly customer service is not his forte. Terrible experience after spending so much money. Will not be recommending to anyone.

I went to this place, really nice area. There nice area outside the store and Two floors of plants. So this store kinda have various plants! I have seen lot nice plants, and they're mostly bushy looking kind of plants. Very healthy plants, as they're cautions to water their plants. This store have various plants like succulents and trailing plants, many soft foliage plants like topicals plants, many other basic houseplants.

My favorite part about this store is they have more topical plants upstairs, that give off a cool vibe like you're entering jungle! Which is pro point for nice media profile pic! Hehe. This store is where I brought my strings of turtles! I have been looking for this plant while and so happy to find one from this store! Thank you Ginkgo Garden!

Some of the plants sold here did not have any roots, so what chance do they have in surviving? The other plant we bought was fine though, still this nursery need to either check their greenhouse or suppliers for rooted plants.

I cannot express how much I LOVE Ginkgo Gardens. I live in Navy Yard and it is a struggle to find seeds and garden supplies here. Just about a ten minute walk from Navy Yard, this Capitol Hill garden center is the BEST. There are a few others in the area, but in my opinion, Ginkgos blows them all out of the water. Especially if you are looking for edible plants (herbs, fruits, veg), you must purchase them here! Especially in comparison to a few other local garden centers, they are super affordable. I'm so excited to stop in again soon!

This place is absolutely fabulous. The customer service is great and they have quality plants. I'm new to the area and needed plants for my apartment. Matt was super helpful in guiding my decisions and accommodating when I had issues (my fault, not theirs). I appreciate the personal touch, timely delivery, quality plants and great selection. Do not go to any other nursery. Ginkgo Gardens is the best.

Small neighborhood plant shop. They have a variety of plants indoor and outdoor, big or small. I got a few of my plant babies from here. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. It can be busy at times especially near closing but they make sure everything works out. As of late they get new plants on Tuesday\Wednesday. I'd recommend if you're looking for new plants or gardening materials. They are on the pricey side but it's DC. What do you expect.

Reasonable prices based on my past experience buying plants in New York City. Staff was really friendly and knowledgeable and gave me good plant recommendations. They have a good and varied selection as well

A few caveats, it's higher priced than a big box store and it's a small business so there's limited inventory. That said, what they do have is wonderful. I'm very picky and I found exactly what I wanted. Whoever does the ordering has great taste. The people are knowledgeable and kind. They go well above and beyond. I was nervous about repotting a plant and they helped me find the soil I'd need and talked me through how to do it. I definitely would have killed it had I not spoken to them. The photo is my successfully repotted peace lily. I will absolutely go back.

Just moved here from Miami & have been searching for a new fav plant shop. Ive explored so many & this one is definitely it! Great selection of plants at reasonable prices. They have an outdoor & indoor section plus an upstairs portion. I've gotten so many plants from here already. The staff is also friendly & helpful. Recommend.

It was well priced and had a ton of selections. There was an upstairs, downstairs and an upstairs above the upstairs, it was great. I didn't feel sticker shock at any time. If you wanted to start a garden the size of a small city you'd find everything you need here. And parking was super easy if you have transport.

Adorable garden shop with lots of unique plants without an obscene price tag. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable and my dog always knows he'll get a treat there. Will obviously be back!

Ginkgo Gardens is a cozy neighborhood plant store where I get almost all of my houseplants and planters. They also have a wide selection if outdoor plants. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the plants are beautiful. Sometimes I just visit the store for some pleasant browsing.

A beautiful store but you'll pay Tiffany prices and get Dollar General service. Plants, unlike big box stores, are not guaranteed, and if you have a problem the staff is unhelpful. I paid $45 for an azalea that developed a leaf problem, called to see if they had any advice. I was told to email in photos which I did and was ignored. I tried online research to no avail after spending $15 on a fungicide. If I'd gone big box instead of local business I'd have paid less and be eligible for a replacement. Lesson learned.

Although a little pricey still love his nursery! I am able to find plants that I wouldn't normally be able to find in a Lowes or home depot for example. Definitely, definitely, definitely will be returning!

I can't give a plant shop anything less than a three, but I have been pretty disappointed by Ginkgo Gardens on both of my visits (weekday and weekend). Staff seems to spend their time doing maintenance rather than acknowledging customers which isn't ideal when plant sections aren't labeled. You just have to browse around hoping you'll find what you need and when I finally was able to get help I was already at the register.

The indoor portion of the store has an awkwardly placed check-out register which results in people either cramming around it or a looping line that cuts off the entrance. This is partially a COVID-spacing issue but I don't see how it would ever flow smoothly, especially since you need to walk into the store to access the second outdoor section of the shop (which was not yet open for business on my trip last week - during the summer it's full though). My experience seems to be an exception so would like to come back in another few months to check out the selection.

Tucked away on 11th Street SE near the highway, Gingko Gardens is a truly local spot. Whenever residents on Capitol Hill are working on their landscaping and gardens, they go here. During the pandemic, they are limited customers inside, but the flow is quick. The outdoor space is open for people to come and go as they please. The outdoor space is where they have the bulk of their flowers, herbs, plants and bushes.

They even have more plants in the alley in the back and in the backyard of the owners next door. The indoor space has pots, more plants and garden decorations. The staff are helpful and very knowledgeable.

I finally had the chance to stop by Ginkgo Gardens, and it completely exceeded my expectations. There is a WIDE variety of plants, planters, tools, and more! During checkout, I told the man I was just beginning my gardening journey and he pulled out this book to help me with the plants I bought today! Thank you so much for the amazing experience and exceptional customer service. This isn't the closest plant nursery to me, but it is 100% worth the trip. I will definitely be back soon!

Amazing staff, the young lady that works there was amazing, helped me find what I needed and gave me a walking tour through GG. She was happy to talk about all types of plants etc. I grabbed about five different plants for my apt. I just love the place and if it weren't a pandemic would probably hang out more and stop by more often. They have great plants and good prices. Really awesome to have this in area.

I am by no means a plant collector but rather an admirer of plants and plant collectors. However, over the past year I've definitely picked up quite a few smaller plants that have flourished thus deepening my appreciation for plants. Once I realized that one was outgrowing their original pot, I figured it was time to drop by Ginkgo because admittedly I think I was getting by pretty luckily, just watering without any real knowledge about what they may need beyond that.

Upon walking into the outdoor nursery, I was already in love! So much to look at, but inside and outside. Seriously, seems like every inch of this place is adorned with lush greenery, both delicate and strapping. There are two floors to explore and the staff here are all so friendly and knowledge. Just even the short time that I spent shopping, put me at ease while in their space. I look forward to adding to my collection and returning here soon!

Love Ginkgo gardens! Always a good selection of house plants, nice terracotta pots in all sizes at a great price, and the people here are always super helpful. A great place to stop if you're looking for new houseplants or supplies!

Recently expanded, I just love the vibe of this place. There's a wonderful selection of plants and plant-related accessories, and the prices are very good. It's so cozy too. I can imagine just standing in here to soak up the energy.

My first impression of this place is that it's a garden where plants are available to be taken home. The outdoor space is absolutely brimming with happy plants of all sizes so much do that it spills out onto the sidewalk out front. The indoor space has two levels. The second level is accessible by stairs and has a very lovely balcony with more plants and outdoor furnishings.

I didn't notice an ADA option to ascend. It would likely be a tough store to navigate anyhow with such narrow aisles all around. Parking is available on the street. Read the signs because some spots are affected by the school nearby. They had a great variety of planters from basic nursery plastic to ceramic and even brushed metal. As you can imagine the nice ones are pricey as are the larger plants. Furnishings and racks can also be purchased here. They even have terrarium components. Literally whatever you may need for basic indoor and outdoor gardening is under this roof. Go check it out!
