My daughter and I just visited the Herbary, what a peaceful place and welcoming host Lisa. If you want a relaxing place to just drink or eat something lite!!! before going to the beach, please stop by. No pressure, just park ,head in , and relax.

If you are looking for something special, an inspiration or just a quiet stroll through beautiful plants, this is the place. The plants are all well cared for; healthy,and watered.Some unusual varieties, beautiful planters to inspire. The greenhouse is available for a special occasion party. They have a nice variety of gifts, botanically (is that a word?)themed. The holidays are nearly magical in the gift store.Besides all of this, they have a coffee "shop" with light snacks and beverages.Sometimes I go there for a quiet browse around and feel happy for this wonderful spot.

Beautiful, serene country vibe! Love the friendly staff that go out of their way to make sure you find what unique item you're looking for. Freshest of plants, greens, flowers etc. One of my favorite spots!

Definitely miss the old owners. It's such a beautiful place with so much potential, i even thought of having my wedding here. But, since the new ownership it doesn't feel the same. I recently attended the "summer market" and it was maybe 6/7 small tents ... no food that they advertised. i went into they're very beautiful green house and bought 2 plants that i was so excited they were so cheap... but it came to my attention 3 days later that there's very tiny bugs on one of them that completely broke out all over my house killing the plant. and my other plant from them turned yellow by the next day. (probably why it was so cheap)

Outstanding place! Exceptionally well kept, incredible products, amazing service. My wife, son, daughter and I had an amazing picnic on the grounds today.

Too bad the town is making it impossible for them to stay. I have purchased healthy plants and been given expert advice on what plants will do best in the various locations on my property. Gift selections were unique! It is a beautiful venue for parties, especially in these times people seek an outdoor location.

I had my bridal shower here and they did the flowers for my wedding in September 2021. We could NOT get in contact with anyone almost throughout the entire process even though we were assured everything would be fine. We had to purchase FAKE flowers for the bridal shower, because they could not get it together in time to provide the real floral arrangements.Cut to my wedding day where Dana was so late - she is handing out the bouquets while we’re waiting in the limo to leave for the ceremony. What she provided that day, both at the ceremony and reception site, was cheap and not what we agreed upon. Also, our custom welcome sign, that I kept in their care, arrived to the ceremony broken - they made no mention of this.There was never any follow up after the wedding either. I’m new to Howell, I was very excited to support local business and I felt I was treated like a second class citizen. During a time that should have been fun and exciting - they provided me nothing but grief.I had to find out the Herbary was sold to different owners on social media - no one reached out to inform us of the change. I do understand the owners are now different and my wedding was during that transition (otherwise this would be a 1 star rating). I just hope in the future they can provide the services they advertise, but just in case, let this be a warning to any future brides.

This place is really a hidden gem. They have interesting items for purchase...a greenhouse...a small coffee house...goats chickens and honey! What could be better than that? Prices are a bit steep...worth the trip. I would recommend.

Stumbled upon this place thanks to GPS guiding me through backroads. Though it is a hidden gem, it is surprisingly close to places you may shop frequently in town. I highly recommend you make a stop to enjoy this GORGEOUS barn style herbary. I visited in December and the decorated Xmas trees, Xmas music, scented candles, and very kind people made me want to nestle up and never leave. Everything you look at will be stunning and a feast for your eyes. I ended up purchasing a beautiful soy candle and local. honey. I will make it a point to visit every season at least! Highly recommend you go!
