Ames Greenhouse & Antiques

"Omg this place is magical. I felt like I was in a forest. So many beautiful, happy, flowering plants, a glorious maze of green, and that earthy smell that gives a gardener those warm fuzzies. I felt at home and in awe of such a magical place that from the outside looks so nondescript. Inside the store, we found amazing treasures, unique, delicate and fun snapshots of an older time that reminded me of warm memories and people I loved who are now gone. I will absolutely be going back to buy gifts and plants for myself. Their selection is phenomenal and so unique I was speechless while there. The space is packed with experiences you can only know firsthand."

"The outside is unassuming, but the inside is an absolutely gorgeous, floor-to-ceiling display of beautiful antiques. From glassware to typewriters, kitchenware and even toy pop guns, looking around from area to area can reveal something new every time! The inside smells like nostalgia and feels like a liminal space, but a safe one. The proprietors are a lovely couple who are very happy to help customers. The greenhouse side has many lovely flourishing succulents and plants, and smells so sweet and fresh just looking at the flowers can make one's day. I'll be sure to go back to this beautiful, hidden-away antique shop. Some of the items we found were absolutely priceless!"

"This place is amazing! The inside is absolutely PACKED with antiques wall to wall. It smells like heaven! The garden center is amazing as well! The woman that helped me find marigolds was so polite and seemed like a genuinely nice person. I tried to tip her and she wouldn't take my money! She said to spread the word instead, so that's what I'm doing! This was my first visit, but it won't be my last! If you like antiques and gardening and you haven't yet shopped here, do yourself a favor and head down today!"

"MEALY BUGS IN EVERYTHING!!!! This place does not treat their soil even with organic chemicals. They have mealy bugs in everything they have spread to some of my other plants. Its a constant struggle to even keep some of these plants alive. I wont buy any more plants here. I have included some of my affected plants. (Some have already died and been rid of)"

"This place is amazing! Antiques and all the plants you could ever want in one place. They have so much stuff it's hard to see everything and so many plants of so many varieties that I felt like a kid in a candy store. The owner is a lot of fun. He's very knowledgeable and super helpful. It's going to be a regular stop whenever I'm in Ames from now on."
