Welcome To
The Urban Planter
The Urban Planter is a unique and trendy gift shop in downtown Spartanburg. You could say that plants are kind of our thing, but they are far from our only thing! We love plants of all kinds but we prefer the rooted varieties which create arrangements that will last for years to come.
In our shop you will find individual plants, potted arrangements, terrariums, air plants and succulents. We also have a great selection of gifts, local art, greeting cards and home décor items. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram for daily updates on happenings in the store!

“Probably the cutest store in the whole city. So many plants to choose from, and I love mixing and matching my plants to my planters! I’ve never had a problem with a plant not surviving or thriving. Love shopping here!!”
Our Services
A quick glimpse into our store will show that we are about much more than just plants. We keep up to speed with all the new styles and trends for your home and garden. Our lavish inventory includes a great line of gift items from cards and candles to one of a kind items created by local artisans.
From the soil to the accent pieces, we have everything you need to create the perfect arrangement. We are happy to provide as much or as little assistance as needed. We can create a piece for you, assist you with designing your own, or you can pick up one of our premade arrangements. Do you already have a container? Bring it in and we will bring it to life! Need that container delivered?! Yes, we do that too!
Terrariums are enclosed pieces of glass that contain plants and soil. Terrariums are a popular choice among many plant lovers and gardeners because they are very low maintenance. Terrariums come in many shapes and sizes and can be open or closed. We have glass pieces of all shapes and sizes to choose from in the shop. Terrariums can easily be made into a fairy garden by adding some miniatures to the landscape!
Do you enjoy getting together with a group of friends to learn something new? Then you must join us for one of our workshops! We offer a variety of workshops that are available on site or at your private event. A few options are terrariums, fairy gardens, staghorn fern mounting, succulent gardens…the list goes on, so be sure to check back often to see what workshops are being offered.
Do you have a love for plants but have a hard time figuring out which plants will work best where? No problem, we’ve got you covered. Give us a call to schedule a consultation and we will come to your house and provide you with the best container and plant options for your space. If you have a love for plants but not a green thumb, we can provide you with a maintenance contract where we will come weekly to water, prune and maintain your plants. This service is available for residential and commercial spaces.
We do offer outdoor container planting services as well. Give us a call to schedule yours today! This service is offered in the spring and the fall.

Staghorn Fern
This workshop is sure to be a crowd pleaser. We will show you how to mount a staghorn fern onto a piece of cork bark.

In this workshop we will show you how to build a terrarium. A terrarium is an ecosystem with plants, rocks in moss inside of a glass vessel.

Fairy Gardens are a miniature garden complete with living plants, small structures and mosses that can be tended year round.
BYOT
Bring in your own glass piece and we will help you fill it with plants, rocks, mosses and any other little embellishments.
Air Plant Terrarium
This air plant terrarium makes for a great gift. Air plants do not require any dirt or soil which makes them very versatile and a great conversation piece. We can add air plants to decorative containers or glass pieces. They can be done in singles or multiples.

#theurbanplanter #plantshop #plantlife #spartanburgsc #downtownspartanburg #visitspartanburg #hubcity #onespartanburgNood Clean makes soap according to what the FDA and CDC says, soap is the best way to prevent the spread Covid 19 or any virus, germ, or bacteria. FDA writes, so what should consumers do? Wash your hands with plain soap and water. That is still one of the most important steps you can take to avoid getting sick and to prevent spreading germs.. CDC recommends washing hands with soap and water whenever possible because handwashing reduces the amounts of all types of germs and chemicals on hands. But if soap and water are not available, using a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol can help you avoid getting sick and spreading germs to others. Notice!!! “IF” Soap and water is not available then use Hand sanitizer. What is being said, “Hand Sanitizer should only be used when you cannot find soap and water” Nood Clean makes simple pure Castile soap the way it has been made for centuries. Castile’s introduction to Europe was during the Black plaque has been credited for helping to end the Plague. People are always looking for something better. Listen if something works and it is not hurting people why reinvent the wheel? Castile is plant power at work, and it works without introducing things to your body that hurts it inside or out or the world we live in. Castile does not create super bugs, Use Nood Clean today, and every day.

Five awesome women owned businesses in one location downtown. Come check out the Bijou Building at 147 E Main St!!
Look at this beautiful outdoor fireplace and mantle. Finding the right container was a little challenging due to the narrowness of the mantel, but these urns worked perfectly!! Close up of the arrangement provided in the comments.
