The Owner

Meet Alicia

Alicia Winegar runs the shop day to day. She picks the plants, builds the arrangements, and answers the care questions people bring in. She learned orchids hands on, not from a script. Tell her where a plant will live in your home and she can tell you what will do well there.

Our Approach

How We Work

We keep things simple and honest. We tell you what an orchid needs before you buy it. We match plants to your light, your space, and your budget, which runs from 20 dollars to 500 dollars and up. We make custom orchid arrangements, arranged orchid bowls, and made to order pieces. Bring your own bowl or vessel and we will plant it for you. We also handle event work for weddings, corporate gatherings, and charity events.

From the Owners

A Note From Alicia and Justin

We bought this shop because we love these plants and the people who grow curious about them. We plan to keep it a real neighborhood shop. A second location is opening soon, and we will still greet you by name.
