Gold Leaf Botanicals was not only a beautiful store, but the owners are just amazing. They are so kind, patient and knowledgable. I went with my roommates last night and we left with so much more knowledge than we had before. The plants we bought were gorgeous and the care and love they’ve put into the place is so obvious! Will 100% be coming back!

Wonderful little shop! It's so serene as soon as you enter the shop. The plants are happy and so are the owners and employees. Very easy to chat with staff, who are very knowledgeable. They even have a points system: 10 points per dollar spent that you can redeem in store. Will definitely be back again.

Great Product!
I bought Koppert's Thrips & Whitefly Solution: Swirski Ulti-Mite as I feared to have a thrips infestation started.
I bought this product without knowing the pest name.
They are all gone. I am super excited and happy for this product.

You all have to try it once and you will be convinced.

Hidden gem in KW for sure? Kim

I was walking down Park Street in the summer when I heard a friendly 'Hello' and within 30 seconds I met Bryan and his love for.sorry passion for plants.

It was truly an honour to meet and see this green sanctuary inside.

Mentioning even if I have a plant at home and don't know how to take care of it or any questions to feel free to ask.

The rewards program is another thing needed to mention as no one does this any more.

I can go on a long rant about how much I learned in my 10 minute chat with Bryan.

Thank you for that friendly hello.
15 March 2022 9:37
I stopped in to Gold Leaf Botanicals for the first time after learning about this shop on Instagram! Brian was such a delight, friendly, knowledgeable, and genuine. The selection of plants at varying price points was a nice change from some other retailers and the display of the store was like walking into a plant lovers dream!
14 March 2022 15:00
The shop is stacked floor to ceiling with plants.an amazing variety of common and rare houseplants as well.the owners are super friendly and open people, amazing to talk to, and are super duper helpful to aid you in finding what you need.some prices may seem a bit high compared to what you might find in your big box stores, but the plants here are genuinely under top tier care and you will not need to worry about pests, poor quality items, or misleading instructions when you shop here.overall, i would give 10/5 if possible.thank you guys for your help, i love my pink princess philodendron:)

Awesome local business you have to visit. The owners are so passionate about their work, it was pleasure stopping in and meeting them. I was buying a giftcard and the owners both stopped what they were working on and came out to show me around the shop. They were so helpful and friendly- spending the time recommending things to someone who knows nothing about plants. Amazing customer service, awesome little shop run by awesome people. Make sure you stop in!

Bryan and Michael's passion for plants is contagious. They know every plants ' name, what they need, how they grow and plants are thriving at their little store. It's like a mini healthy jungle there and I felt like I got VIP tour of it. Even if you are not sure you wanna buy a plant, go there and get yourself a free entertainment special: Comedy, documentary, drama, vougueging, twists and twirls, they got you you are fabulous and sending you lots of love

Come for the plants, stay for the education! This unique little gem of a plant shop is a must-visit for anyone who considers themselves a plant lover.

These guys really know their stuff, and are gracious teachers who are clearly passionate about what they do. On this first visit I got a little monstera, and feel more than prepared to help it thrive after mostly having pothos and snake plants my whole life.

I will 100% be back, and cannot wait to see how their business flourishes.
18 February 2022 19:53
I popped in yesterday for the first time (meaning to go for quite some time - but life gets in the way). I had a great experience talking to the shop owners about plant care, what they want the shop to be about to the community, as well as general banter. It was a great lunch break:). I will definitely be back to fuel my plant addiction, and for the friendly service. Great shop!
18 February 2022 7:23
