How green is your thumb?
Whatever you comfort level when it comes to houseplants, we can make recommendations for your success. Here’s a small sampling of our favorites.
LIGHT GREEN: THE NEWBIE
These plants are very forgiving. With a little guidance from our staff and a little love from you, these plants are real confidence builders for the indoor gardener just starting out.



DARK GREEN: THE EXPERIENCED
Experienced indoor gardeners will find a carefully curated selection of houseplants that goes beyond what you would typically find in the big home and garden centers. Inventory changes frequently, but we can guarantee there will be something new to add to your collection.


BEYOND GREEN: THE COLLECTOR
You know who you are. Some people collect jewelry or cars. You collect houseplants. We get you, because one of us is one of you. Below is a sampling of some of the specialty plants we have carried. Inventory in this collection changes regularly and typically does not remain in our care for long.



Meet Karen
Karen has been a fixture at the family store practically since she could walk. Being the youngest of the three siblings, she was eager to “work” at the store like her big brother and sister. So, at a young age she was awarded her first official job— sweeping the playhouse in the Garden Center. Over the years Karen’s responsibilities expanded to include tending to the greenhouses, the Garden Center, and the Pumpkintown concession. Today, she spends much of her time creating content for marketing and advertising and handling the banking for the business. But her real passion is houseplants, and following that passion, she has expanded the houseplant department of Paul’s and Sandy’s to a tropical oasis that has become a favorite shopping destination of indoor gardening enthusiasts.
Karen has two children, a daughter Lena, and son Derek. Lena and Derek both work at the store after school and during breaks.
When she’s off-duty Karen enjoys antiquing and thrift shopping with her family, and long relaxing motorcycle rides with her husband David.
