Metropolitan Plant and Flower Exchange - Fort Lee, New Jersey

I visited Metropolitan Plant and Flower Exchange in Fort Lee, NJ last weekend, and it completely exceeded my expectations. The space is huge, incredibly clean, and beautifully designed—with lovely water fountains that add to the peaceful, welcoming vibe. They have an enormous variety of plants and flowers—truly something for everyone, whether you're a beginner or a seasoned plant lover.

I was lucky to be helped by Nirva, who was absolutely amazing. He guided me with so much care, helping me choose healthy plants and sharing detailed tips on how to care for them. His customer service was outstanding, and his plant knowledge is impressive.

There’s also plenty of parking, which made the whole visit even easier. I’ll definitely be coming back—and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to add some beauty to their space.

Thank you, Nirva! You made it a fantastic experience!

We used Metropolitan Plant Exchange for our wedding florist and cannot rave about Paul and team enough! Our extended family has been long time customers of Paul's so we looked no further for our wedding florals. Paul delivered on our vision without a doubt and exceeded any expectations we had! We were so in love with our beautiful floral arrangements and our guests and venue staff couldn't stop raving about them either. Needless to say we and our extended family will continue to be loyal customers of Paul and the Metropolitan Plant Exchange for years to come!

This place is amazing! You are transported to a beautiful, exotic, tropical paradise! They have an incredible selection of flowers, plants, trees, planters, etc. I don't know of any other place with this type of selection. It is great to just go snd browse, but you will find something you have to buy and it is also great for inspiration.

I would get married to my husband again just to see how Elyse would decorate our wedding all over again. We found Elyse and Metropolitan Plant Exchange by accident and it was one of the best things to happen to our wedding. My husband and I didn’t have a clear idea for what we wanted for florals, I only knew that I wanted a succulent bouquet. Giving Elyse very little to work with at our meeting she was able to ask the right questions to help get us to what we actually envisioned our florals looking like for the wedding without any hard sell at all. It felt like I was talking to a friend who just really cared about my wedding flowers! Because we met in the summer and got married in the fall, several if not most of the florals we had were not in season so Elyse improvised and used photos and similar plants to help us envision what we wanted for the wedding and what she was thinking based on our answers. That being said we left our meeting having no idea what our florals were going to officially look like, but with full confidence that Elyse would deliver. And that she did! Elyse had never been to our venue, Johnson Locust Hall Farm, before, but through photos and our descriptions she perfectly created EXACTLY what we wanted without knowing we wanted it. My bouquet was gorgeous and better than any inspiration pic I had sent or what I had imagined. All the little details were absolutely stunning and Elyse worked hard to stay in our budget. Everything was delivered and set up on time. Additionally, we met with Elyse in Fort Lee, but the store in Paramus was a much closer drive to me and she worked with the manager there to help me make payments where it was convenient for me. I could not recommend Elyse and Metropolitan Plant Exchange more!

I cannot express how EASY Rina and the team were to work with! I have used them multiple times now for large events including my engagement party and bridal shower. They nailed it every time! Their price is unbeatable and their professionalism is top notch! I will keep recommending them to everyone I know! Rina always has a vision and runs with it and you can trust her to make your requests happen.

I love the flower selection here but service is disappointing. I waited for help but the girls continued to help other customers who walked in after me. I felt very unwelcome. The employees were proactively walking up to the other customers and asking if they needed help. I am unsure if it is a coincidence but all the customers after me were not Asian. I even tried to grab one of the employees attention but he walked right by me, not even taking a moment to pause or look at me. He just kept walking to the back fridge while saying “I don’t work here”. 2 out of 2 times I’ve been here, service was terrible.

Today we went to the store as plant newbies and Nirva was absolutely amazing. He planted our Bird of Paradise and other small herbs with such good care and precision into pots that we chose. He also gave very helpful advice on taking care of the plant. We couldn’t be happier with his help and guidance, so thank you Nirva!!! We are so excited to bring these guys home and it was such a pleasant experience at the store today.

Came here to buy outdoor flowers and plants for my business in Manhattan. Large selection and pretty much anything you can think of they have. Still pretty early in the spring so they weren’t fully stocked but I understand they’re likely getting ready still for the big season. Employees were helpful enough. No one really went out of their way to offer help but everyone I encountered was nice and answered my questions when asked. Not sure why Yelp has such a bad rating for this place. Yelp sucks anyway. One star I felt because some things are so marked up. A little hand shovel was $12, a plastic spray bottle was $10. Things like that are $1 at WalMart or HomeDepot just a few minutes up the road. I’d rather by locally even if it was somewhat more expensive but some of their prices need to come back to earth.
