This shop hybrid offers customers an eclectic high-quality selection of flowers, cacti, succulents, and tropical foliage, as well as some tasty locally sourced coffee, pastries, kombucha, and ice tea.

The retail concept successfully blurs the two approaches to business. Customers of the shop hybrid can get inspiration for their home, buy a healthy plant and enjoy a special customized wrapping service, all the while indulging in flavorful treats and coffee. Extending the dual concept even further, PlantShed's newest destination in New York City will partner up with local creatives and house art installations.
