iNSIDE scoop: Sprout Home
If you are like I am and would love to have a great looking outdoor space, but have had trouble finding cool-looking planters, or even cool looking plants for that matter – you have to check out Sprout Home in Ukrainian Village. A store dedicated to the ‘urban gardener,’ Sprout carries not only vessels for your foliage, but a well-edited collection of housewares by independent designers, great funky kids’ stuff and even offers on-site monthly pickup of organic veggies!
Sprout has a very laid-back vibe (even Grifter, the resident pooch, is pretty chill) and the staff is extremely helpful. Tara, the owner, walked me through their garden design services that run the gamut from in-store help to full-service on-site design. No project is too small (well, almost) and the majority of the design projects are for decks. Design fees start around $75 for container planting (vs. ground planting) and there is a minimum requirement to sign on for a project. (Basically, more than a planter or two!) But, if you are trying to come up with a cool look and want to do it yourself, you can bring in photos of your space to the store where they will graciously assist you in choosing what will work best for you. Or, you might just get all of your inspiration from the well-arranged store displays.So, whether you are looking for some tall plants to hide your unsightly neighbors, (or you, if you are the unsightly neighbors!), or for funky home furnishings, gift ideas or organic produce, Sprout has all of that and more. And, if you are well-meaning but don’t make it there until after summer has passed; fret not. Sprout also carries clean-lined modern holiday trees and trimmings.
See you there!
Some outdoor planters - there are a TON up here. Don't miss the upstairs!
