Main Street Evanston IL and Cultivate

It is really called Cultivate Urban Rain forest and Gallery. A wonderful small business on Evanston's Main Street. We visited this store Sunday early afternoon for the first time and wanted to share Cultivateour experience with you and suggest you too check this interesting and cool store out.

This a store owned by Louise Rosenberg who can be found at the store and answering questions about the great inventory of mostly plants, nick knacks, ceramic pieces and a nice selection of Terrariums.

We never intended to go to this place today, Sunday October 23 or 2016. We were walking to the Sher-Main grill located at the intersection of Sherman and Main. A dive type diner that has been operating for over 50 years and serving excellent food and service and nothing fancy. I loved our meal. 

CultivateI had two eggs scrambled with hot sauce and bacon with two pieces of French toast with egg batter hanging off the sides of the pieces and two cups of tea. The service was top notch and we enjoyed their scene.

Upon leaving we found Urban Rain forest and Gallery in the old spot of Dave's Rock Shop. They moved across the street setting the way for Louise to start this wonderful new store.

Cultivate has so many great plants for sale and much more then that, You have to see this unique store that is very inviting. When I entered the store I was met by Louise Rosenberg who was there to answer any questions we had about the type of plants offered and so many accessories available.

This store really has the Evanston feel to it and I suggest you check it out. I promise you will enjoy this great shop in Evanston IL.

The Main street area of Evanston IL is so unique and interesting and worth checking out. If you take the time to do so I promise you will be impressed. I want to write about some of the different small businesses on Main Street and will do so in time.

Good morning, Noah --- I think a visit to Sher-Main Grill is definitely on my checklist when I visit Evanston followed by stopping in to Dave's Rock Shop and Cultivate Urban Rain Forest.  Your post highlights just some of the reasons why you love your city so much.

Hi Noah Seidenberg, if I was near Evanston IL, this would be a place I would like. There's a similar place in Orlando where guests make their arrangements while enjoying wine.

Hi Noah - Cultivate looks like a great store - I know Mary would need a cart to take home the stuff she'd buy there. Have a great week!

Noah the Cultivate Urban Rain Forest and Gallery is a place my wife would really enjoy.  And those dive type diners always seem to have excellent food, we have a diner like that around here.

Hi Noah

Looks and sounds like a very cool place, and I bet Louise is thrilled you took time to visit, but also to share. I hope you told her you were doing so and have shared this link with her! I love showcasing local businesses and when I see others doing the same.

'Terrariums'  now there is a word I have not heard in awhile much less seen as popular.  Glad to see a local shop is doing well with them.  Mark
