Can I just say that I love this hidden gem (or JAM) of a plant store? Owned by a cute couple, you can feel that every part of this small business is done with a love for plants and sharing that joy with anyone who enters. The owner saw my friend and I taking photos outside the shop and invited us in to take more photos! She was so welcoming, and we were greeted by such cute planters and very affordable house plants.
We learnt that the business used to be a convenience store that they had run for years on East Hastings, but they recently made the switch to selling plants and floral arrangements! Everything felt very hands-on - the sign was carved by the owners, and they even bred their own purple and pink roses for sale in an area behind the store for some really beautiful and unique rose options. Each floral arrangement was done by the owners in-store and felt sophisticated and unique, going for $25 a bouquet. They also have air plants and dried cuttings/dried bouquets you can get (including a very tiny and adorable one.)
I highly recommend checking this place out as not only is it such a treat looking at the display, but the plants are incredibly affordable (a mini monstera plant was going for $13) and everything is done with such love. Their playlist also made me nostalgic and made me feel like I was in my parents' home! read more
