Potratz Floral Shop

Experiencia fantástica: I have utilized Portratz a few times in the past few months . I must say they provide beautiful service, from birthday flowers to arrangements and plants for funeral services ! Also Id be remiss if I didnt mention how helpful their staff in their greenhouse is ! Simply super !!

Experiencia fantástica: THE best place to get plants in erie. there's soooo many plants and so many different varieties that it's amazing. it really feels like you're visiting a botanical garden. on top of all of that, the prices are fair and the staff are knowledgeable.

Experiencia fantástica: House plant mecca. Go there!

Experiencia fantástica: The arrangement turned out even better than the photos on the website. My bestie was so happy with her Birthday flowers! :)

Experiencia fantástica: Had a great experience here. Came here to get hanging plants for one of our coffee shops. Kenzie was a huge help in assisting us with picking out the right plants. We will be back!

Experiencia fantástica: Made a beautiful wreath for grave site

Experiencia fantástica: Potratz recently did the flowers for our daughter's out-of-town wedding. They were phenomenal to work with! Sheena took our ideas, was sooo creative, and made them into reality. Potratz was wonderful with communication and were so flexible with our shifting time lines. We would highly recommend Potratz!! Thank you!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Mel and her team from Potraz did an amazing job with the flowers for our September wedding at the Watson-Curtze mansion (outdoor pieces framing staircase, bouquet, and short + tall centerpieces). The colors were beautiful and the floral variety was just what we were looking for and complimented the venue so well. Mel would call me when she got certain flowers/colors shipped in so I could give feedback for her planning (and I could take a few home!). I would recommend using Potraz for your event any day!

Experiencia fantástica: Mel and Janel from Potratz recently did all of the flowers at our wedding (Aug 2025) at Bear Ridge Destination. They were AMAZING to work with. Both are extremely knowledgeable and experts in their field. They are personable, very easy to work with, and super creative! Mel and Janel both go above and beyond to make every arrangement with attention to detail, crafting the ambiance / environment to perfection. Potratz workers were very helpful and worked closely with our wedding coordinator and other vendors. Both my wife and I would highly recommend Potratz. Clearly the best florists in Erie! Thank you so much Mel, Janel, and Potratz team! You rock!

Experiencia positiva: I love your garden center and Floral shop.but am very disappointed that my credit cards didn't work on your ordering systems this morning and I had to go with a different florist for my online ordering.

Experiencia fantástica: I've been shopping at Potratz since I arrived in Erie, PA! They are the best! Helpful, friendly, and cares about each customer and makes sure they're satisfied!

Experiencia fantástica: How lucky Erie is to have this GEM!! Always a MUST visit when I come back! Keep up the good work, you have amazing employees that always go above and beyond! Until next time!!

Experiencia fantástica: We absolutely loved photographing the stunning floral designs by Potratz at Marissa and Jeffrey’s wedding. Every single detail—from the bridal bouquet to the reception centerpieces—was thoughtfully arranged and bursting with beauty. The color palette, textures, and balance of each piece added such an elegant and romantic touch to the entire day. These florals weren’t just decor—they were art. They elevated every photo and made our job behind the camera even more magical. Potratz was also wonderful to work with: professional, responsive, and clearly passionate about their craft.

Experiencia fantástica: Always a class act.

Experiencia negativa: For years my DIL and I have driven more than 40 miles to shop at Potratz. My DIL loves their plant selection. So when my mother wanted to purchase a gift for her newest great grand daughters recently born, their mamas favorite greenhouse (Potratz) seemed the obvious choice, even though it is very much out of the way for us. So, last September (2024), I purchased 2-Oak Leaf Hydrangeas as gifts from my mother to her 2 great grand daughters. (at $50 a piece I might add. And they didn't look all that nice when we picked them up, but they assured me "they would perk up" after being planted and some adjust time. I called today to tell them one of the plants did not leaf out this Spring. I was very disappointed to hear them say "it was a bad winter, nothing we can do about that" I said, so you won't replace the dead one? They said "No" I guess I should have asked about warranty when I purchased them but I honestly thought purchasing these plants from a "reputable" nursery/greenhouse would assure we got good plants and that they would stand behind their products.. We are so disappointed. These were to be a pair of pink beauties to grow up with the great granddaughters. Pretty sure I at least won't be going out of my way anymore to visit them.

Experiencia fantástica: Ya"ll this place is the Bees Knees! Staff-super knowledgeable and friendly. Selection-superb! From fresh cut flowers to outdoor trees, this is my go to spot

Experiencia fantástica: Friendly, knowledgeable staff and good prices.

Experiencia fantástica: They have a huge variety and everything is so nice and clean.

Experiencia fantástica: Great place for plants!!!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Favorite greenhouse! Staff is very knowledgeable and helpful.

Experiencia fantástica: Highly recommend Potratz. First, they provide exceptional customer service. They want to help and go out of their way to do that. I am grateful to be able to rely on this florist to deliver beautiful flowers & plants to loved ones in Erie!!

Experiencia fantástica: This is my favorite Florist. I don't live in Erie anymore but I order from them to send to my Family and Friends who lives in Erie. I Love Potratz ❤️

Experiencia fantástica: I got a beautiful bouquet of flowers for the stage debut of my young next door neighbor. She loved them so much she took them to the Saturday show for pictures. Thank you for taking the time to make a little girl's day....and mine!

Experiencia fantástica: The staff and community have always been welcoming, helpful, and knowledgeable about any questions I may have when it comes to my plants. Courtney, especially, went above and beyond my expectations when it comes to help and customer service. 12/10 would highly recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: Love, love, love Potraz! Tremendous variety of plants and very knowledgeable staff.

Experiencia fantástica: Beautiful greenhouse with healthy plants including cacti and tropicals. Great sale prices also!!

Experiencia fantástica: wonderful service, nicest ladies I’ve ever met. Got my flowers done within a few minutes when I was in a time crunch and so wonderful to talk to!!

Experiencia fantástica: Best greenhouse I've ever been to. So calming. Prices are reasonable as well. Best of all no pests and I've bought 20+ plants from them.

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing assortment at very reasonable prices combined great staff is a win for me. This place is so much better than any chain store. Only downside is realizing how many plants you didn't know that you need.

Experiencia fantástica: For Green Thumbs like me ! This is HEAVEN, Trusted, Friendly , And Very Knowledgeable !

Experiencia fantástica: Potratz is a sanctuary of calm for anyone who appreciates the beauty of our natural world. Take one step into their greenhouse and it feels like you've been transported to a rainforest. Inside Erie's botanical gardens you'll find countless rows of lush greenery and unique finds at every turn; all located right here in the middle of the city. Everyone in the team seems to be either very knowledgeable, or they know how to find the right answer very quickly. If you're looking for affordable tropical plants, rare and unique types of cactus, the coolest succulents you've ever seen, floral gifts, hearty house plants, and basically all-things green, Potratz is without a doubt one of the best greenhouse operations on the Great Lakes.

Experiencia fantástica: And if just come to Afghan community center like everyone to here ok i love Afghan community

Experiencia fantástica: This nursery is a hidden gem! I get completely lost among their endless variety plants and flowers. They also did my wedding flowers, and the bouquet absolutely stole the show — I mean look at that thing!! A must-visit for anyone who loves plants or is looking for stunning event flowers!

Experiencia fantástica: A week later and the arrangement is bought for my husband to celebrate our anniversary is still GORGEOUS! They added the Slim Jim's I brought (made it personal to him) without rausing so much as an eyebriw. Jim, you have an excellent crew - Floral Shop, Greenhouse - I am a Potraz gal for life!

Experiencia fantástica: Potratz has the most beautiful flowers. The prices are great. The staff is always knowledgeable and helpful. Arrangements are made by true artisans.

Experiencia fantástica: Ordered flowers to a funeral home and found out everyone was making a remark about a particular flower arrangement. Well, it happened to be the arrangement my business sent! I let Potratz choose the design. Thank you.

Experiencia fantástica: The BEST plant place I’ve ever been to! My mom and I went on a greenhouse roadtrip and this was our first and last stop. They had everything we were looking to find and ended up spending literally 4 hours here. The variety was amazing. The prices are beyond fair. The staff and the owner were wonderful! I would recommend this place to anyone (but I don’t want to share my secrets so only the people I really like lol). 10/10 all around!

Experiencia negativa: I will never buy anything from them again, my mother past and we ordered $700 arrangements and none of them showed up at the funeral home with the right type of flowers or the right colors when I called to complained they made up some excuses and didn't care about it being all wrong...they wanted to know what was they were suppose to do about it...never again!

Experiencia fantástica: I'm not much of a gardener but this place was absolutely impressive. The variety was astounding. One fellow shopper said that Potratz was the best flower and garden shop on the Eastern US, and said they've lived in every one of the original 13 states.

Experiencia fantástica: Fast and very responsive

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome flower and botnany shop. They have a huge selection. They really do take care of the plants. Slightly pricey but not really, when u consider the care and knowledge they have. Not too many real stores like this left. Better than any big store or any store around here that I've been to. Definitely highly recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: Always a great selection. Could be more organized.

Experiencia fantástica: I received a bouquet of flowers as a gift from Potratz and it’s the most beautiful and sweet smelling one I have ever received. The colors blend together perfectly and they are so fresh and the wonderful smell permeates the entire house. I’m going to buy some more from them just for myself.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent place to shop!

Experiencia positiva: This place has absolutely tons of plants, but they get 3 stars due to the sense of chaos trying to find a certain one or a price.

Experiencia fantástica: very good, I love it

Experiencia fantástica: Very good

Experiencia fantástica: I have always loved Potratz’s greenhouse! Their plants are healthy and there’s so many to choose from. But recently I decided to use their flower shop for my gender reveal! I had the results emailed to them and spoke with them ahead of time about what types of flowers and price range I wanted. They went above and beyond to give me a beautiful bouquet that they carefully wrapped and boxed up so that I couldn’t see the flowers before the reveal. They were so easy to work with and gave a great value for money. I really appreciate everyone there that helped, it was an incredibly special moment for us!

Experiencia fantástica: Always a great shopping experience. Everyone is helpful and knowledgable about plants.

Experiencia fantástica: Top of the line service couldn't have asked a better business to send flowers out of state.

Experiencia fantástica: Beautiful selection of plants and the staff were extremely helpful and accommodating

Experiencia fantástica: Easily one of the top greenhouses in PA, the staffs customer service and knowledge grows brighter every time I visit. Fantastic selection of seasonal and year round plant, be ready to spend some time exploring.

Experiencia fantástica: Got two beautiful bouquets for my niece and nephews play. My daughter enjoyed the smells, the balloon, and the friendly staff.

Experiencia fantástica: I ordered a rose vase arrangement for a birthday. The transaction was perfect and the arrangement was described by everyone who saw it as the most beautiful arrangement they have ever seen. Thank you so much for making it special. I recommend Potratz highly.

Experiencia fantástica: Friendly staff, beautiful arrangements, and great prices

Experiencia fantástica: Kathie, thank you for the outstanding service!

Experiencia fantástica: Great selection of both rare and common plants. Knowledgeable and friendly staff and good prices.

Experiencia fantástica: I ordered flowers over the phone to be delivered for my daughters birthday, and they turned out beautiful and my daughter loved her bouquet of flowers. Thanks Potratz

Experiencia fantástica: Always leave with a smile and a little more knowledge than I had before going. It's definitely one of my favorite hide aways!

Experiencia fantástica: The best plant experience around. Indoors or out. Don't bother setting a budget for yourself! Love their set up. Easy to find what you're looking for in their huge selection.

Experiencia fantástica: Bought valentine's day flowers for my girlfriend. Had no idea what I was doing because this was my first time at a floral shop, but the lady up front made it really easy. Really liked how it turned out.

Experiencia fantástica: So much variety and affordable prices

Experiencia fantástica: Great place. They’re arrangements are beautiful. I’ll never go anywhere else!

Experiencia fantástica: KC (Kelly) was such an awesome help today! She took my friend and I across the street to see all the giant tropical plants after we browsed the entire big greenhouse. I left with 4 awesome plants I can't wait to pot and put on display. Definitely the best selection and service around for all of your plant desires!

Experiencia fantástica: Potratz has the best selection around and great prices as well.

Experiencia fantástica: Always has been one of our favorite floral shops to go to

Experiencia fantástica: Worth the two hour drive from Buffalo.

Experiencia fantástica: LOVE THIS PLACE AMAZING!! The workers are so nice! I will always return!

Experiencia fantástica: My wedding florals were fantastic thanks to Melody! We emailed back and forth, talked on the phone, shared a lot of photos and go specific about what flowers, height, variety etc.. I loved my arch which was actually the hardest thing to find a photo of online, but she figured it out. Also, Janelle and the staff from the greenhouse were fantastic with dressing the tent and porta potty. Everything was wonderful! THANK YOU!

Experiencia fantástica: In Early August I had to pickup some late Birthday gift Flowers. Money was tight but I was supplied with a nice arrangement for Ten Dollars. Asked the lovely woman how to keep them fresh til gifting and was given helpful information. Real nice service here.

Experiencia fantástica: Always beautiful flowers and great service ❤️

Experiencia fantástica: This is a FABULOUS plant shop/greenhouse with so many selections of house plants, outdoor plants and water plants too! If you are a plant lover- your heart will go WILD walking in the door!! Reasonable prices and even a selection of RARE plants too. Super helpful staff but they don't "pester" you either- you could look all day! I drive over an hour to get there and it's worth it every time.

Experiencia fantástica: Every plant imaginable. Loved it!

Experiencia fantástica: Very good

Experiencia fantástica: I love this place! The vegetables planted and flowers plants are the best. They are the hardest plants I've ever seen and planted! The price is reasonable also!❤❤

Experiencia fantástica: Wow!! Just wow! Tons of plants and flowers. TONS!!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Potratz Floral Shop & Greenhouses have never failed to impress me... Always fairly priced, creative, and beautiful! Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Sheena and Sam made my last minute order happen. Thank you!!! The folks here have taken care of all our flower needs. They never disappoint. I highly reccomend....

Experiencia fantástica: I showed up 10 minutes before closing after another shop lost part of my order for prom flowers. The ladies here jumped on it and made exactly what I needed. They saved the day and made a beautiful bouquet.

Experiencia fantástica: Thank you Potraz for 'once again' saving my beautiful 20+ year old plant Peace Lilly, I almost killed. No matter what goes wrong I know you will always be there to fix it. Over the years I have bought many plants for the office where I worked, and they were georgous when I gave them away upon my retirement. I have 2 large legacy Hoya, you saved one from bugs and germinated one from cuttings and grew for over a year and it was returned to me over with over 4 feet of growth. The Hoya's are are over 60 years old and given to me by my mother who passed a long time ago. When these plants bloom it feels like my mother, who grew up on a farm, is stopping by to say " hello, I love you all" . I hope to continue my long association with Potraz in the years to come. Please don't ever close. Everyone who works there is so nice and knowledgeable and always ready to help. Compared to everywhere else thier prices are reasonable, but more importantly thier plants are exceptional. Thank you

Experiencia fantástica: One of my favorite places in the whole world they have literally everything a plant enthusiast could ever dream of walking through their greenhouses is incredible you have to visit this place

Experiencia fantástica: Owner was very helpful and friendly, i be happy to give him my business again

Experiencia negativa: Wouldn't honor online price after order was already placed..place is a joke

Experiencia fantástica: First time there today and the Greenhouse was epic! Have never seen anything like it, everyone there is very friendly as well

Experiencia fantástica: Drove here from Buffalo,NY after hearing too many good things to not check it out. Absolutely worth the drive. Every staff member was wonderful and kind and helpful. The variety was unique and yet had all the staples too. The prices were competitive and occasionally downright astonishingly cheap for very well developed larger plants. 2 different works gave me discounts on a plant just because! Seriously they made my day. I bought 10 plants and could have happily bought 30 more if I had the room for them. I'll be back for outdoor gardening season if not sooner. Potratz team...you are the BEST. Please dont change!

Experiencia fantástica: Always awesome.

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome

Experiencia fantástica: Potratz Floral Shop does lovely work. Two of the plants I ordered this year, a Peace Lily and Poinsettia, were beautiful. I’m from out of town and ordered for a friend who lives in Erie. Their work is exceptional and the arrangements are very creative. The workers are so knowledgeable and accommodating. They are Very professional and respectful. I highly recommend this business. I’m glad I found this florist.

Experiencia fantástica: Always one of my favorite places to be Huge selection and friendly staff

Experiencia fantástica: Patras did a very nice job for me today they found me an indoor plant that I will love and the wife will love and thank you very much for doing a good job I would tell anybody if they want to find any plans and any kind of arrangements to go to potraz we've been with them for 30 years thank you very much guys

Experiencia fantástica: Fantastic Service Ordered a fall themed Corsage beautiful colors absolutely gorgeous!Exactly what we wanted !! Couldn't be happier with the service !

Experiencia fantástica: Potratz did our wedding flowers this past July. Melody was great to work with and went out of her way to make sure I had anemones for my bouquet when they were difficult to find. Everything turned out beautiful!

Experiencia fantástica: This is only the second tropical plant greenhouse I've been in and it is awesome. Big. You could spend hours if plants are your thing. Inexpensive. Easy to indulge yourself, buying babies or big showpieces. I got a baby, now a showpiece goldfish plant!

Experiencia fantástica: Potratz did our flowers for our wedding in June 2021. I had a great experience working with Mel to make our floral vision come alive. I didn’t know much about flowers and found it sometimes hard to describe exactly what I wanted, but I learned so much from Mel. She really knows her stuff! I love how resourceful she is too; she would suggest ways we could use our flowers both at our ceremony and reception. She is very kind, professional, and detail-oriented. Our flowers turned out beyond perfect for our wedding day. I would highly recommend Mel and Potratz for all your floral needs! Photo credit: Kibbe Photography

Experiencia fantástica: Potratz recently did the casket flowers and two sprays for my Mother's funeral. They were very well done and beautifully coordinated. I highly recommend them. I had also had plants delivered to her, which were very beautifully arranged and still living affyer transplanting a year ago.

Experiencia fantástica: They have so many varieties of everything! I was not only able to find plants I've been looking for and couldn't find anywhere else, but so much more I didn't know I wanted until I was there, and varieties of each I didn't know existed. I love that they explain to you whether or not each plenty will survive an Erie winter, how to care for your plants, and answer any questions you have about anything they have there. The very friendly lady who rung up my purchase was very knowledgeable about not only my purchase, but several behind me, as well. I could wander there all afternoon. I will definitely be back.

Experiencia fantástica: This was my first visit and was very pleased with the selection. The workers were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Prices were very good for a nursery imo.

Experiencia negativa: Had big bouquet in a vase delivered to me for my birthday as a gift from a family member. By the end of the day..flowers were dead and falling on the table..Took it back to the flower store..they replaced it with a Smaller amount of flowers..Had the nerve to ask me if it had water in the vase..of course I checked it soon as I picked it off if my side door on the cement..that's how it was delivered.. Door bell rang and the guy was already getting in the van...

Experiencia fantástica: Great selection of tropical plants and good prices. Hands down one of the coolest greenhouses I've been to in awhile.

Experiencia fantástica: The best greenhouse for plants and exotic plants/trees. A real treasure seriously... you have to go!!! This is the BEST place by a landslide, a real hidden gem. I travel 2 hrs to come here for my plants and am never disappointed. So much bigger than it looks from the outside/front. The workers are very helpful which is an added bonus.
