Our new favorite plant shop! We were so happy with the selection of plants, pots, and plant stickers that we had a hard time narrowing it down. Really happy with what we came home with! Excellent service and owners are so friendly. Highly recommend!

WOW! i cannot say enough great things about this store. Truly a 1 stop shop for all amazing things! I have accrued a beautiful collection of cacti, succulents, tropicals, pothos, and everything in between from Sunnyside. Here are some of the reasons I continually choose to shop here and why you should too:

- substantial collection of rare plants that you just will not find at many other places
- extremely generous rewards program. i literally have $10/$15 to take off my total every single time i come to shop
- competitive prices. nothing in the store is price gouged and they often have perfectly healthy plants that are on sale
- full stock of plant essentials including substrate, insecticide, fertilizer, plant grow lights as well as a wide selection of colorful and unique planter pots
- personable staff. owners are extremely knowledgable, kind, and accommodating. they always thank me for my business and i continually look forward to talking to them during my shopping experiences
- store often goes Live on the Palmstreet app to offer product for those who aren’t local. i recommend following them on instagram @sunnyside.plants for updates
- store also hosts a wide range of workshop classes in collaboration with other local businesses in the area
- tons of free street parking nearby
- the gift section of the store is lit. scented candles, artisanal figurines, enamel pins, perfume oil, custom stickers & t-shirts, crystals, jewelry, greeting cards, games, ummmmm need i say more?

Do yourself a favor and get to Sunnyside ASAP to add some joy into ya life!

in my evolution from someone who killed a cactus (a cactus!) in less than a month (a month!) to a full-blown, too-many-houseplants-to-count plant parent, Sunnyside has been an invaluable resource for amazing quality plants, customized and tailored education & recommendations, and overall good vibes. Ann, the owner (we love a woman-owned local business 😍), her husband Tim, and their crew have an encyclopedic knowledge of fine plant care details down to different types of soil & top dressings, and the harry-potter-spell-sounding botanic names of all the plants in the shop roll off their tongues — but they never judge me for saying things like “this leafy boy” or “mr spikes in the corner over there.” the energy of the shop is helpful and nonjudgemental, making it a welcome space for everyone from botanic experts to someone buying their very-first plant baby. their focus on education & making customized recommendations for your plant style, environment, and budget is bar none — and definitely has contributed to me blossoming into the confident plant mom I am today.
Sunnyside also has one of the most unique & diverse assortment of plants, from leafy tropicals to hard-to-find cactus and succulents; and to this day, when people walk into my home that is full of houseplants, the show-stoppers that everyone comments on are plants that I purchased here. 11/10, will happily patron forever.

Sunnyside Plants is a hidden gem in Jefferson park. They not only provide a wide array of house plants, but they also help with care, troubleshoot anomalies that may arise as they often do, and expert advise as well. The small business charm is abundant with this business. I will only get my plants from here

I love this little shop, I have been shopping there since it opened. All of my plants from there have continued to thrive. I love having beautiful plants but it also helps when I buy it from a store that I trust and I don’t have to come home and replace the soil. Will continue to shop there and it’s great to see how it continues to grow as a business!
