New plants come in regularly, and you can find some unique and amazing varieties, from banana plants with their tall, stripy appearance to the Chinese money plant with its round, unusual leaves.

Carnivorous plants, in particular, are show stoppers, from Venus fly traps to the Parrot Pitcher with its wavy and tube-like appearance. (Pictured above)

It’s an Aladdin’s cave of plants and greenery in a wonderful, inviting space.
