Houseplants chosen for the light you have
Tell us about your window and we will show you what does well in it. Then come and choose it at our glasshouse in Asheville.
We are a small glasshouse nursery in Asheville. We grow 15 houseplants on site, sell them in person, and help you pick the one that will actually suit your room.

Get the right plant in three steps
Answer three questions
Which way the window faces, how far the plant will sit from it, and how often you water.
We narrow it down
We suggest up to four plants from our current range, with notes on light and watering.
Come and pick it up
Bring your list to the glasshouse any day but Monday. The benches are laid out by light, the same way the matcher sorts them.
Where will it live?
Three questions about the room and your routine, and we will show you what does well there.
That room gets gentle, steady light. 9 of our 15 plants do well there with your watering — this is the one we would start with.

“Our living room window faces north and nothing I bought lasted. The matcher suggested a snake plant, I picked one up that weekend, and a year later it is still putting out new leaves.”
Come and choose it in person
We sell from the glasshouse six days a week. Everything in the matcher is on the benches, and we are there to help you pick.
Tuesday to Saturday 9am–6pm, Sunday 11am–5pm
Closed Mondays, when we repot and restock. Weekday mornings are the quietest time to browse.
Benches are sorted by light
North, east or west, and south, the same way the matcher sorts them. Bring your list or just tell us which way your window faces.
Cards and cash
Every pot is priced. There is nothing to order ahead.
Wrapped for the car
We wrap each plant for the drive and can carry large ones to your car. Free parking beside the glasshouse.
