There’s something extra cozy about fall in New England. The crisp air, the smell of cider, the colors, and yes, the urge to hunker down and make our homes feel warm and alive with greenery. This season, we’re spotlighting plant shops around Greater Boston that double as destinations; places where you can sip coffee, stock up on local goods, or wander through farm stands while picking out your next houseplant.

Pemberton Farms Marketplace (Cambridge)
This place is a slice of calm in the city. Their nursery is divine and you can pick up groceries while you’re here, too. They also have a parking lot! Such a win-win-win!
Known for a surprisingly strong plant section.
Bonus: grab artisan foods, cheese, or baked goods while you shop.

Green Haus Cafe (Boston)
Tucked in the Mission Hill neighborhood, this family-run café is the perfect green complement to any fall day. Green Haus Café serves coffee from their Vietnam-based roastery alongside matcha, specialty beverages, and an all-day brunch menu in a bright, plant-filled space. In addition to its cozy atmosphere, the café offers a lovely selection of houseplants for purchase, so you can take a bit of that warmth home with you.
Lush and lively retreat for Vietnamese coffee lovers.

Mahoney’s Garden Center (Brighton)
People refer to Mahoney’s as an urban oasis with expert staff. They’re also close to cafes like Pavement Coffeehouse and local eateries. Each Mahoney’s store has its own individual charm; we love the Brighton location because they thoughtfully arrange their displays with styled plants and home goods, giving us plenty of inspiration every time we visit!
Expansive houseplant selection and outdoor seasonal décor.

Lyman Estate Greenhouses (Waltham)
Locals praise them for their unique house plant selection, like rarer tropicals that can revive the spirit during the colder months. It’s also one of the oldest greenhouse complexes in the country. Their grounds are equally as impressive as the greenhouse itself. A true gem just 20 minutes outside of the city.
Orchids and exotic plants with a historic backdrop.
Gorgeous property to stroll in peak foliage season.
