Wanna Liven Up Your Sad Apartment? These 15 Black-Owned Plant Shops Are Here to Help
Pro tip: Basically, the number one way to elevate any area is a plant. Wanna add the illusion of actual space to your bedroom? Boom, hang an ivy by the window. Want to spruce up dinner but have no time for a grocery run? Keep a basil plant on deck. Whether it’s for ambiance or a new COVID-19-friendly roomie, greenery is KEY for nurturing that green thumb of yours. So why not support a Black-owned business for your next plant purchase?
Across the country, there are a number of super-cool Black-owned plant companies, each with their own unique takes on plant design, sourcing, and distribution. Their virtual shops mean you won’t have to carefully haul a ficus back from the store, and some even offer annual subscription services so you can gradually build a collection. Creating an at-home oasis while supporting Black business owners? Duh, it’s a win-win.
We’ve rounded up 15 dope Black-owned plant companies that have the block talking. Check them all out below!
