Our Story
Plants Worth Growing.
We think buying plants should be exciting.
Not overwhelming. Not intimidating. And definitely not limited to whatever happens to be sitting on a shelf nearby.
Mary Mae Greenhouses was created to make discovering great plants easier — and a lot more fun.
From everyday favorites to something a little harder to find, we search for plants we're genuinely excited to offer and make them available to plant people across the country.
Because if you're going to make room for another plant, we think it should be one worth growing.
Rooted In Erie, Pensyvania
Mary Mae Greenhouses is based in Erie, Pennsylvania, where every plant we ship passes through our hands before it reaches yours.
We work with trusted growers and suppliers to source interesting, healthy plants, then care for them while they're with us and inspect them before they're packed for their next home.
We're picky about what we sell.
And we think that's a good thing.
We Find The Good Stuff
There are a lot of plants out there.
We want to help you find the good ones.
Our collection is built around a mix of dependable favorites, interesting varieties, collector plants, and new finds that make you stop scrolling for a second look.
Some are easygoing. Some are a little dramatic. Some you may have never seen before.
That's part of the fun.
Our inventory will continually change as we discover plants we think deserve a spot in your collection.
Plants Shouldn’t Feel Complicated
You don't need to be a plant expert to have a home full of great plants.
We organize our collection to make it easier to find plants that actually fit your life, whether you're looking for something easy care, pet friendly, tolerant of lower light, or worthy of a collector's shelf.
And buying the plant is only the beginning.
Our Plant Care resources are designed to help you understand what your plants actually need without turning plant ownership into a science project.
Good plants. Useful advice. No gatekeeping.
From Our Greenhouses To Your Door
Shipping a living plant is a little different from shipping a pair of shoes.
We know that.
Every plant is inspected before shipment and carefully packed with the needs of a living plant in mind.
Weather matters. Temperatures matter. Time in transit matters.
When conditions make shipping a plant unreasonable, we'd rather wait than knowingly send a plant into bad conditions.
And if something genuinely goes wrong along the way, our Live Arrival Guarantee is there to help make it right.
Growing Into Something Bigger
Houseplants are where we're starting.
They aren't where we're stopping.
Our vision for Mary Mae Greenhouses extends beyond the windowsill. As we grow, we plan to expand into garden plants, perennials, and other plants worth growing outdoors, bringing the same approach to the garden that we're starting with indoors.
We're building Mary Mae Greenhouses for people who get excited about plants — whether that's one pothos on a desk, a shelf full of unusual aroids, or eventually an entire garden outside.
There will always be something new growing around here.
Why Mary Mae Greenhouses?
Because we believe plants should be more than another product in a box.
They're something you bring home, take care of, watch change, propagate, occasionally argue with, and hopefully keep around for a very long time.
We want to make finding that next plant convenient, exciting, and worth looking forward to.
That's Mary Mae Greenhouses.
