Brooklyn Plant Delivery
Shop houseplants, floor plants, planters, plant-care supplies, and gifts online with convenient local delivery throughout eligible areas of Brooklyn, New York.
Ed’s Plant Shop is a small, independent online plant shop. Every live-plant order is carefully inspected, prepared, and packed before being released to a local courier.
Eligible Brooklyn customers may see Local Delivery as an option at checkout. Availability depends on the delivery address, products ordered, inventory readiness, courier availability, and our current operating capacity.
How Brooklyn Plant Delivery Works
- Enter your complete Brooklyn delivery address at checkout.
- If the address and products qualify, select Local Delivery.
- We will coordinate inventory and prepare your order.
- You will receive an automatic update when confirmed delivery information becomes available.
- Your order will be delivered by a local courier.
We currently use Uber Courier for many Brooklyn deliveries. Another local courier may occasionally be used depending on the size of the order, route, availability, or delivery requirements.
When supported, Uber may send delivery updates or a tracking link by text message. Traditional UPS or USPS tracking may not be available for local courier orders.
Courier arrival times are estimates rather than guaranteed appointments. Brooklyn traffic, weather, parking, route changes, and building access may affect delivery timing.

Local Delivery Processing Time
Local delivery does not automatically mean same-day or next-day service.
Please allow approximately 5–15 business days for processing and preparation. Five business days is the earliest end of the range, and many orders currently require most or all of the stated processing window.
Ed’s Plant Shop is currently operating with a very small team. Processing may occasionally take longer because of order volume, plant and inventory coordination, courier availability, holidays, weather, or extreme temperatures.
You will automatically receive an update if your order requires additional processing time. There is no need to contact us for a routine order-status update.
Prepare for Your Uber Courier Delivery
Please make sure your order includes complete and accurate delivery information:
- Recipient’s full name
- Complete street address
- Apartment, suite, floor, or unit number
- A working mobile phone number
- Door code, buzzer, doorman, or building-access details
- Helpful delivery instructions when needed
Please remain available by phone while the delivery is in progress. The courier may need to contact you regarding the correct entrance, parking, building access, or another delivery issue.
Address changes are time-sensitive and cannot be guaranteed after order preparation or courier coordination has begun.
Brooklyn Apartments, Walk-Ups and Doorman Buildings
Brooklyn deliveries may involve walk-up apartments, brownstones, converted lofts, high-rise buildings, offices, doorman buildings, lobbies, mailrooms, and other shared-entry locations.
If your building has a doorman, front desk, or package room, please confirm that staff are permitted to accept live plants on your behalf.
If an order is left with building staff, in a mailroom, lobby, parcel area, or another location approved by the recipient or building, the order may be considered delivered.
Standard local delivery is generally to the building or accessible delivery point. It does not automatically include carrying oversized plants up multiple flights of stairs, installation, repotting, furniture moving, or placement throughout a home or office.
Live plants should be brought indoors and unpacked promptly, especially during very hot or cold weather.
Plants for Brooklyn Apartments
Brooklyn homes can vary widely—from bright lofts and garden apartments to compact bedrooms with limited natural light. Plant recommendations should account for the actual light, available space, indoor heating, and maintenance level.
Popular options may include:
- Lower-Light Plants for apartments with filtered or limited natural light
- Hanging and Trailing Plants for shelves, bookcases, and smaller rooms
- Floor Plants for living rooms, offices, entryways, and larger corners
- Pet-Conscious Plant Options for homes shared with cats or dogs
- Grow Lights for rooms without enough natural light
Low-light tolerant does not mean no light. A room without usable natural light will generally require an appropriate grow light for a live plant to remain healthy long-term.
Shop Plants and Botanical Essentials
- Pots and Planters: Decorative and functional containers for indoor plants.
- Indoor Gardening Tools: Tools for watering, pruning, repotting, and routine maintenance.
- Plant Supports: Trellises, poles, and supports for climbing and trailing plants.
- Plant-Care Essentials: Fertilizers, pest-control products, substrates, and other supplies.
- Botanical Decor: Plant-inspired art and decorative items for homes and offices.
- Gift Cards: Let a friend, family member, or coworker choose their own plants and supplies.
Large Plants and Special Requests
Large floor plants, heavy planters, oversized products, and multi-item orders may require additional delivery coordination.
Before ordering a large item, please consider:
- Elevator availability
- Stairs and walk-up access
- Doorway and hallway width
- Building-access requirements
- Loading-zone or parking restrictions
- Whether building staff can receive the delivery
Because Ed’s Plant Shop is currently operating with a very small team, special delivery, installation, sourcing, repotting, commercial, and other labor-intensive requests must be reviewed to determine what is feasible based on scope, location, timing, staffing, and current order volume.
Local Pickup Is Not Available
Ed’s Plant Shop is currently online-only and does not maintain a public storefront, showroom, warehouse, or customer pickup location.
Orders cannot be picked up from our former studio or from Flower Daddy. Available fulfillment options are nationwide shipping and eligible NYC local delivery.
A rotating selection of Ed’s Plant Shop plants may occasionally be available for in-person purchase through Flower Daddy at 539 Metropolitan Avenue in Williamsburg. Flower Daddy is a separate retail location and cannot process, release, return, or service online Ed’s Plant Shop orders.
Delivery Problems and Damage
If delivery cannot be completed because of an incorrect address, missing apartment number, unavailable recipient, denied building access, or inability to contact the recipient, additional courier or redelivery charges may apply.
Local delivery fees are generally non-refundable after an Uber Courier or another delivery provider has been dispatched or a delivery attempt has been made.
Damage or significant plant concerns related to delivery must be reported within 48 hours.
