North Shore Plant Club
The Plant Club is like having an on-demand local plant shop with your friends and neighbors!
In Northfield:
Near the intersection of Winnetka/Wagner, SW of downtown Northfield.
This pickup site has been serving plant friends in Northfield, Glenview, Golf, Wilmette, and Winnetka since 2024. We deliver plants and mulch to zip codes 60016, 60025, 60026, 60029, 60062, 60082, 60091, 60093 and beyond.
The Plant Club is here to help you get whatever plants you need for your yard: spring and fall annuals, patio pots and hanging baskets, native and ornamental perennials, from groundcovers to grasses and shrubs, either individually or in quantities suitable for the biggest yard improvement project. Our pickup sites are hosted by garden friends who love plants — we’ll contact you with specific details when you order your plants.
Hi! I'm Holly Ritter, coordinator of the Northfield Plant Club. Growing up surrounded by gardeners and plant lovers, I've developed a deep appreciation for both. As a Professional Organizer (@wellsortedbyholly), I see many similarities between organizing and gardening. Both involve systematic approaches to space, requiring attention to detail, creativity, and consideration of aesthetics and functionality.
Please say hello when you pick up your plants. If there's anything I can assist you with, feel free to contact me at holly@northshoreplantclub.com. I look forward to meeting you!

Northfield is our newest plant club location... but we've been helping people get affordable access to great plants on the North Shore since 2018.
Here's what they say about the Plant Club:
The hostas you delivered last week are amazing. Can't imagine anything better from any of the retail shops around here!
You saved me nearly $1000 on my new boxwood hedge compared with what I would have spent at [redacted]!
Remember that Fire & Ice Hosta you got me for $5.75? I was up at one of my regular places this weekend and the same plant was almost $25!
The impatiens that I ordered from you were absolutely gorgeous! And the rose bushes are doing beautifully.
We've loved participating the last few years! We terraced our back yard this week & have planting spaces to fill. We are so excited to be a part of the club again this year!
We try very hard to source exactly what you’d like, but sometimes growers run out of plants! While this variety is a great deal at the price shown, we know that it has limited availability. If you want the plant even if it might be more expensive, or in a different size or quantity -- after you place your order, just send us a quick note at help@northshoreplantclub.com. Then, we’ll try to get you some version of this from one of our growers. And if we can’t get it from anywhere, of course, we’ll send a refund!
Plants which are well-adapted to our local climate are most often field-grown (outside). Field-grown plants are generally cheaper and have the advantage of already somewhat acclimated to our cold winters, but that means they’re not artificially far along in the spring and tend to bloom at the normal time in our area.
Spring annuals and tender perennials are typically grown in Greenhouses so they can be ready and luxurious exactly when customers want them. Some perennials are also “forced” into early bloom in greenhouses. In May, there can be a very big difference between field-grown and greenhouse-grown plants of the same type. The latter typically look good right away (so they’re a great choice where that’s important), but we typically pay a premium for it.
The cost of this recipe's ingredients will vary depending on the season and the sizes and varieties you select.

Membership is free, but — since we rely on delivery and local pick-up — you have to live near one of our hubs (or be willing to drive to a site to pick them up). If you live farther away, and would like to help us bring the club to your neighbors, please email helpusgrow@northshoreplantclub.com.
