One of the questions we get asked most often is where we get our houseplants — and all of our plants come from right here in Central Wisconsin. 🌿

We love partnering with a grower that cares deeply about quality, sustainability, and the joy that plants bring into a home. Mill Creek grows their plants with so much care, and we’re proud to bring them into our shop for you to enjoy. 🫶🏼

When you shop with us, you’re not just supporting one small business — you’re supporting a community of Midwest businesses that truly care about what they do.

Stop in to see the newest plant arrivals and let us help you find the perfect one for your home. 🪴

The Heart Behind The Local….

Since we opened our shops it has always been our mission to highlight the small business community. Each of us play such a vital role in creating a space that we love and are proud of. By supporting makers, local restaurants, and the ma + pa shops in your area, you are living out the local mindset.

When you support locally owned businesses, you get to know the families and individuals who feel first hand the impact of your support. That is why we have always shared not only the products of our Midwest brands but their stories with you as well. YOU are making a difference! 🤍

So no matter if you are local to the Central Wisconsin area or live further out, by purchasing from our shops you are saying you too have the local mindset and support the dreamers + doers around you.
