The ZEN Succulent 123 Market Street, Durham, NC 27701

"My cousin sent me a gift certificate for my birthday and I was thrilled to put it to good use today! Staff were welcoming and answered ALL of my questions about a zillion plants until I narrowed down my choice. I’m confident that the plants I picked will survive in my apartment because I was able to bring home ones specially suited for the kind of light I have. It was my first time in, but won’t be my last!"

"came to this shop about a week or so ago. i’ve been looking for plants to decorate my home with and some friends of mine told me about the zen succulent. it was well worth the 2 hour drive. i found the plants i wanted plus a few extra. the service was amazing and i was made to feel like i was a regular customer. definitely coming back in the future and will be recommending this plant shop to others"

"I see the potential. I stopped in for a gift but then I realized none of their plants are in pots. It did not seem to be a problem if you were buying very small plants because they had pots you could purchase separately, but I was buying a small money tree and they had no pots available. I went ahead and bought the money tree, which was very expensive. If I was buying something for a dorm room, I think this place will be perfect but for me, today, I would’ve been better off going to Lowe’s."

"I had a very satisfying shopping experience. The two leaf plants (fern birdnest) were bought here today. The lady in ZEN is very warm and enthusiastic. She helped me to choose my ideal plants which are easy to keep and can live happily inside my two-window room. I definitely recommend here."

"After walking by many times and even reading out it, I decided to stop by to show some support. My office needed a little greenery and this was the right place. The staff person was extremely welcoming and helpful with different plants and options. I walked out with a beautiful plant for my office table and gorgeous little succulent for my desk (both with very nice planters). I also appreciated the watering tips."
