favorite florist and plant store

by judyhoff

Want to buy flowers, a plant, plan for a large or small party?

A New Leaf has helped me with many family events. The staff has good ideas and the flowers have always been beautiful and perfect for the occasion. They have worked with me on a large purchase of office plants as well, and the plants not only were just what we ordered, but have been easy to take care of , healthy and long-lasting.

I recommend A New Leaf highly. And, to add to the positives, A New Leaf is a not-for-profit organization that helps people reenter the world of work after an illness and deserves our support.

• Pros: responsive, creative, high quality for good price; a non-profit helping people with jobs
• Cons: none

Gardening for a good cause on the East Side.

The Scene
Beyond the beautiful blossoms, there's something else very inspiring going on inside A New Leaf. In addition to gardening essentials, this busy nonprofit shop provides employment to mentally challenged adults, supplying them with important transitional support to make their way back into the mainstream workforce.
The Goods

You'll find a little bit of everything here, from basic hand tools, seeds, peat moss, potting soils and plant food, to a greenhouse filled with seasonal flowers, aloe plants and cactus. And if you can't wait for your own flowers to bloom, head to the cooler filled with reasonably priced arrangements and bouquets.
