I live near Central, and I can't for the life of me find a business in the area that sells basic houseplant stuff. I know Home Depot would have it, but I'd rather not commute 20 min to get there.

Pemberton Farms a bit north of Porter on Mass Ave.

Tag's at Porter (next to Star Market).

Also the Ace Hardware's in Central and Inman are worth trying. Don't know if they carry plant stuff though.

Ace in Central closed down a while back.

Google Maps and the Ace Hardware site both say that Pill Hardware is open.

Yes, Pill is open, but there used to be a large Ace Hardware closer to the MIT side of Central Square and that is gone.

Ricky’s in Somerville is probably an option, maybe a mile walk from Central. They have a small amount of parking and there’s a bus stop near by.

Nice! This is much closer to what I was hoping for, thank you!

Mahoney’s

Ah this also looks really promising. Thank you!

Did pill not have it?

Last year the target had potting soil downstairs by the stairs

The target in central didn't have anything (that I could find), neither did the Blick across the street.

Well I was in pill this morning getting caulking and they definitely had all that stuff

Also target has gardening things today. One bag of potting soil left.

Oh good to know. I ended up walking to Ricky's flower market, but for future reference I'll look there. Thanks!

Amazon sells potting mix. Walmart / Target does as well.

Any hardware store will have pitting mix.

TJ Maxx/Marshall/Home Goods has pots.

Also recommend Mahoney’s.

What about that flower shop in Central Square? Might have some supplies.

Walmart has free shipping orders over 35
