P’lovers Environmental Store

The one star is due to a lack of understanding of their customers busy lives. On Friday December 12^th, I made a special trip to Halifax after work. It never dawned on me to check to make sure Plovers would be open, as it was so close to Christmas and a Friday night. After driving around to find parking, I was welcomed with a CLOSED sign on the door at 6:10. Why would a store in the heart of Halifax be closed so early on a Friday night less than two weeks before Christmas. Very disappointing!

P’Lover’s is a unique environmental store. They offer a wide variety of products and many that cater to the vegan customer including a large selection of vegan books, personal care, cosmetics and clothing. The prices are a little steep for me but it’s a really cool store and there’s a lot to look at. Lots of organic, eco-​friendly and unique ideas that would make great gifts for the environmentalist in your family.

I really like Plover’s new location! It’s a lot fresher than their old Park Lane locale. I like going into Plover’s to check out all the cool stuff they have with an environmentally conscious theme. I especially love their baby section and all the lovely bath products they have. Service is great and the staff is always ready to help you find something, or explain something. Plover’s may not be my go-​to store, but I love coming in to look around and sometimes find a new great item!

I popped into P’lovers new location at the Trillium yesterday afternoon and it definitely made me, ‘wow!’ The new space is absolutely gorgeous with high ceilings, unique displays, and something interesting to see at every turn. I hadn’t been into their old Park Lane location in quite some time but it’s easy to see how great of a move this will be for them!
Most of the products aren’t necessarily aimed at someone as painfully mainstream as myself but I can appreciate that they’re packed to the brim with great gift-​giving potential, all served up with a healthy dose of worldly goodness and nature-​loving karma. From baby toys to coffee table books to cozy sweaters to wooden ties (I’m serious), it may not be a place to find exactly what you’re looking for, but I’m sure you’ll never leave without a new ‘want that’ in your life.

Love the new Nest of P’lovers! You have got to see it — the light and energy in this building is amazing.
Great new products and some old one, but overall a beautiful spot! Great place!

I love me some P’Lovers year-​round, but I especially appreciate it during the holidays.
Friendly, informed (and occasionally hilarious) staff is one reason. Knowing that I am purchasing something made locally and/​or sustainably is another. And though there are many ways to spend a lot of money in this store, I also find that they have a variety of goodies at all price points. You can spend $ 20 and get some lovely soap, or candles, or funky stationery … or you can drop $ 200 on organic cotton sheets, it’s up to you (and your pocketbook).
And if you have some feline friends on your list, grab one of their catnip mice: made from hemp and filled with organic ‘nip, these mousies provide hours of entertainment for your kitteh and you — and they are virtually indestructible and such a deal at $ 5.95!

P’Lovers I was not sure that this place was until I entered and found that is was and Environmental store. Clean and fresh and not overpowering like some of other location that you enter that almost take your breath way when you gasp. P’Loves has a calming feel when you enter allowing a relaxed feeling to come over you and allow you to browse with ease.
There was a small by great baby section that you could find anything from a rubber duck to what looked so comfy and that was called a cuddly wrap. I wish I had that when mine was growing up. Lulujo baby wear and blankets for the small ones were available and bath products.
Now for you big people you get to chose from a wide range of organic fabrics for clothing and silks and linens which I find wrinkle alot. Beautiful bold cloths and designs make you want to just touch it. I am sad to say that I have never purchased anything in the way of clothing when it comes to organic but I see these locations have been popping up all over as I found another one just a few days ago.
There are some really beautiful pieces of jewelry that I can see myself wearing as I love silver. Creative pieces that some are actually made here in Halifax. Great conversation pieces.

P’lovers makes me want to pack up and peace to India and meditate with the monks. The store’s soul-​binding body of products are all with a conscious for the environment and high-​minded living,
Clothes are of the cosy variety and come in gorgeous linens, hand woven silks, organic cottons and naturally dyed fabrics. There is an attention to integrity present, whether its by supporting locally made designs, or assuring ethical means of production overseas.
This shop lured me in, and I became smitten. Gorgeous jewelry from both Thailand and Halifax were displayed side by side, offering a cohesive blend of great taste. Necklaces adorned with bits of fine china, gorgeous stones, and sterling silver were there for the swooning.
It was the clothes that really got me. Some great fabrics and timeless cuts that would be well suited for vacations and otherwise. Very simplistic but lovely designs.
As well, the shop boasts a dwelling of health and wellness books for those in need of direction. If your interested in some new healthy recipes or spiritual guidance, there are many books here to peek through.
The apothecary selection is also quite grand. Locally made soaps, creams, candles and more… it all smells delicious, besides being au naturalé! Organic/​Non-​toxic cleaning supplies? Yes… they’ve got those here too. Various nicnacs and home accessories sprinkle throughout the shop, and it all makes for a wonderfully wholesome browse.
If you’re into local, organic and natural living, PJ is calling your name. Located within the downtown Park Lane Mall, its only a short trip away.

P’lovers is the place you go to find a gift for the eco-​conscious among you — or for yourself!
The store is packed full of all kind of ecologically friendly stock, from baby clothes and toys to cleansers. Staff put great thought into sourcing locally and reducing their carbon footprint, down to recycling the packing material in which they receive their shipments for the next parcel sent from P’lovers to a website shopper.
The P’lovers mission and values are in sync with what many people are starting to demand: thinking globally while acting locally.
The windows at P’lovers are also filled with found items, and the choice bulletin board spot in the store is a reclaimed telephone pole.
If you’re at all earth-​conscious, you’ll want to stop into P’lovers to see what’s on deck this week. The planet will thank you.

For all you dirt kissers out there, P’lovers is the joint for you (this includes me — self proclaimed dirt kisser).
Even though this little shop is inside of Park Lane Mall, it still manages to maintain its independent boutique vibe, while providing top-​quality and earth-​friendly products.
You can find organic cotton clothing, lots of soaps and personal hygiene products, household wares, and a great selection of Nova Scotia info, like trail maps and tourist guides to all of the great local outdoor spots.
Once you’ve made your purchase, feel free to buy a card and some gift wrap so you can sweetly package your item (unless of course it’s for yourself).
The prices can be high, but that’s the nature of the nature saving game: bigger price tags for better quality, eco-​conscious products.
GO! BUY SOMETHING! You’ll love it.

P’Lovers…for lovers of the planet.
This is a great store located in the Park Lane Mall. For those who are environmentally conscious about their purchases this is a great store. For those who just like an interesting alternative there is also plenty to see.
P’Lovers is riding the green wave (which, hopefully, is actually beautifully blue), carrying books and goods made out of recycled and environmentally friendly materials. Some of the stuff in here is really interesting. I actually picked up a book the last time I was here about tree houses, which is awesome. It is upsetting that some people’s tree houses are nicer than my house, but also pretty upsetting.
There are also a lot of very nice scarves for sale as well as toys for babies and environmentally safe cleaning products. It’s essentially a hippie’s Wal Mart.
Everything is a little pricey, but not out too lunch. I expect to pay a little more at stores like this and am generally fine with doing so. If you love the planet, I suspect you should probably shop here and avoid P’Lovers arch nemesis store, E’Haters (Earth Haters*).
*Of course this is not a real store, don’t be silly.

Is it just me or does anyone else not really know what the name of the store is? I thought it was Pull Over, but I guess I was wrong. Oh well, not important.
Everything in it is organically made and environmentally friendly, which is perfect for the ‘Go Green’ craze! People now-​a-​days are loving the environment, which I’ve got absolutely no problem with. This store is actually pretty cool because of all the random gear in it. They’ve got everything from Rocky Mountain soaps to eco-​friendly pots and pans.
The store is kind of divided among sections. First there is a bathroom and household section containing towels, cooking utensils, shampoos, and lotions. Then there’s a book section with a bunch of different books about cooking and being green. They even have an adorable baby or kids section. There are some stuffed animals and clothes, as well as toys and games.
I wouldn’t say the prices at this store are totally unreasonable. It might be a bit of an investment, but it’s worth it. Plus, it smells really good in there!

P’lovers is for lovers… of the environment. Or something. But it’s cool, so go there. Tucked away in the mall (blech, why?) you’ll find this neat little shop that consistently receives awards for most conscientious local business and what not.
One really convenient thing for is that I can buy eco-​cleaning products here — they’re hard-​ish to find in Halifax, but I know now that P’lovers has got me covered. (Inadvertent rhyme, I swear.)
They’ve got a great selection of books for those who are educating themselves, or others, on the enviro issues that we’re faced with in today’s world. And honestly, we’re all in need of more of this, regardless of how much we know already. Gifts, journals, body products and clothes are all available here — fun stuff to look through, and a great cause to support.

P’lovers Environmental Store is a great place to go gift hunting. This shop literally has something for everyone! Organic soaps, books on real life tree homes, bamboo cotton clothing and a wealth of other useful eco-​friendly items.
I especially recommend checking out ‘P’lovers’ if you have someone if your life who is particularly environmentally/​socially conscious. Last year I picked out a great book for my sister: ‘Consumed: How Markets Corrupt Children, Infantilize Adults, and Swallow Citizens Whole’ by Benjamin Barber.
I especially like the quotes on the chalkboard outside of ‘Plovers.’ Always something meaningful and grounding, which can be especially nice to read as you walk through a mall a month before Christmas.

One of the first of its kind, at least in Halifax, P’lovers was environmentally-​friendly, when environmentally-​friendly wasn’t cool. Stocked with products from cosmetics to clothing, P’lovers is a good gift store when you’re looking for a gift that has a little more meaning (say, for a new baby) than something like, say, the now-​debunked Baby Einstein videos. Everything here is, frankly, better than anything made of plastic that will just end up in the landfill.

If you care about the environment but also want a corn pen, head to P’lovers.
P’lovers is an environmentally friendly store that believes in selling environmentally conscious products. From candles, to clothes, books to pencils made from pruned branches of willow trees (thus ensuring no trees were cut down to make pencils), this place as it all.
They can even help satisfy a technology geek such as myself. Instead of getting rid of computer circuit boards and throwing them in a landfill, P’lovers has converted them into shinny and neat clipboards! I feel one step closer to being in a Star Trek episode when I pull out my circuit board clipboard.
The staff are obviously fans of environmentally friendly products because they know their stuff and love talking to you about the products. They aren’t mind-​blowing amazing staff. But they are always pleasant to deal with.
Their book selection is also impressive. Its not that large but I am always shocked to see the books they sell because I don’t see the same books elsewhere! Of course the majority are about Zen or environmental theme’s but they aren’t at all boring. The books are written by famous writer’s who have new insights into what is happening with the world. If you’ve read my other reviews you might know I am a fan of Wal-​Mart. So for a store like this to catch my interest so much that I buy a book on being environmentally conscious, well that’s just darn impressive.
P’lovers is a wonderful store to have in Park Lane Mall. I love walking in and see what they have around the area. Their prices are a bit high but they have to be in order to be so environmentally friendly. I love their corn pens and other nifty products. This store is great for Christmas shopping or just to browse around.
