This place is so cute & they have a really great selection of house plants. I can't say much for the other plants. This was my first time there. When I walked in, someone assisted me immediately & knew where all the products I wanted were. My only complaint is that their prices are a bit steep I purchased a 4" long air plant for $15 & found the same species & size online from a very well rated air plant shop & they sell the same size & for $15 you get a pack of 5. But I needed the plants quick so I purchased them. They are in excellent condition & beautiful

Overpriced, no customer service and rude employees. You are better off going anywhere else. Tree prices are high and the warranty is lousy. Telling someone that "nature is what it is" to explain why a white birch tree purchased with green leaves, now blooms with red leaves is unacceptable from someone with a plant business.

Expensive, by comparison. Like, 33% more than other sources of like products. A repeated pattern over several years. Can't say I'm interested in returning, even though they are just a mile away.

Riverview is the perfect place to pick up a gift. Whether the occasion is a house-warming, hostess gift or thank you, they can help. Typically I shop with an idea or a budget in mind. I share that thought with the staff and they have always been quick to accommodate my request. I always leave satisfied with gift in hand.

Riverview is such a magical place that I add it to my destination list when visiting Eastern PA. I can always find lovely gifts to buy, and the service is impeccable. I never leave empty handed. I like to just wander around the store and the grounds and imagine I'm living there! Their plants I've taken home have had the best longevity of all my house plants, and they always manage to survive the long drive. I only wish I lived closer so that I could take advantage of their landscaping services for my pathetic front garden!

Inquired about a large elm tree they had for sale today for $179.00 price tag ON THE TREE, went up to the office and the girl said oh no that price is last years price todays price is $249.00. It is May 24th here, I was going to have them deliver and plant also and she said it could be $250 or more they dont know. Needless to say I am shopping elsewhere.
