Father's Day is next weekend! Whether you're celebrating many miles apart or in person, show Dad some love with a sweet card. ???? Feel free to call or text the shop if you can't find the card style you like online.

Our sweet little shop is open for in-store appointments and all the details about our safety protocols and practices are laid out on our website (check out the bio link). Thanks to each and every one of you for supporting us in whatever way makes you feel most comfortable. We love you!

We're now open Thurs-Sat from 1-6pm! Book a shopping appointment with us via our website to snag your favorite goodies, like something from our stellar Herbivore lineup. Walk-ins are also available, but pre-booking is highly encouraged.

These magnetic air plant holders are the fridge swag you never knew you needed. They're made from reclaimed wood, come plain or painted and are perfect for showcasing a small air plant. Pick your color when you shop online.

Vote for us! We're finalists in the Best of Portland jewelry category. Click the bio link to show us some love. These gorgeous snake rings are made with 14k gold and a white or black diamond eye (while supplies last). If you don't see your size in the online shop just let us know and we'll order you a custom piece. PS: Reminder that we're now open for in-store shopping Thursday-Saturday from 1-6pm. Book a shopping appointment via our bio link!

Soft re-opening announcement! Starting this Thursday, 5/28, you will again be able to shop with us IN PERSON. While this is very exciting, we want to be super up front about what this phase looks like. Our overall approach is to treat this as a trial run so we can safely and confidently pave the best way forward into this uncharted territory. We're so eager to see you all again and we want to make sure it happens in the best way possible for everyone.⁠ To begin, we'll be open from 1-6pm on Thursday, Friday and Saturday only. We highly encourage pre-booking a shopping appointment via our website. You can also come by without an appt, but you may have to wait if we're at capacity. ⁠ When booking appointments, we have 1-hour time slots available that can be booked as private solos, private groups or public group “appointments”. ⁠ To book a shopping appointment with us, please click the bio link.⁠ We'll be limiting the number of guests in the shop to 5 people. Everyone will be asked to wear a mask while in the store. We'll provide hand sanitizer at the entrance and will ask all guests to use it prior to entry. We'll have arrows on the floor marking one-way traffic flow, as well as signage at the checkout area to keep payment as touch-free as possible. ⁠ Our staff will be masked and regularly cleaning and sanitizing all surfaces to make sure everyone is safe. ⁠ As always, thank YOU so much for your support and love. We are so grateful for this amazing community.

Keep it clean with this award-winning natural deodorant from Ursa Major. It's free from: aluminum, gluten, cruelty, toxins, petrochemicals, SLS, SLES, parabens, synthetic fragrance, glycols and silicones. Plus, this formula boasts a crisp blend of peppermint, eucalyptus, and rosemary – perfect for keeping you cool this summer.

These lovely stone drop necklaces come in a variety of pendant styles, from African turquoise and amazonite to rose quartz and snowflake obsidian. The 14k gold chain measures approx. 31" long and looks great on its own or layered with other necklaces. The best part is picking out the right stone pendant for you or a loved one based on their properties.

Did you know all of our plants and pots are mix and match? You can always DM us about current plant availability, and don't miss out on these terracotta pots that have drainage and a matching saucer. They won't last long!

Help us re-open our doors! Pretty please take two minutes to participate in a short survey to help us figure out the best way to re-open our shop. We want to know what will make you feel most comfortable when it comes to an in-store shopping experience and really value your input. Click the bio link to participate. We promise it's really quick and easy!

What could be better than a dual-purpose clean-beauty product? This sheer moisturizing tint is made from a pure botanical pigment, has an excellent lineup of organic ingredients and comes in a compostable tube. We could wax poetic all day about it. Grab yours in the online shop.

Looking for a stylish way to display your jewelry, or maybe an upgrade to your current wall-hook situation? These brass hooks are multi-purpose, come in various styles and are designed by a mother-daughter duo. Peep the online store to see them all!⁠

Treat your space to the cleansing properties of palo santo. Native to South America, palo santo wood can help relieve headaches, inspire creativity and serve as a natural bug repellent. Pair it with a fire-safe ceramic dish and keep a daily ritual for clearing your home (which is extra important right now since we're spending so much time inside!).

We miss seeing you in the shop. We miss our opening routine and our closing ceremony. We miss connecting with you, our neighbors and friends, who used to come by so often. We really hope we can re-open our doors to you on the other side of this, but there's a lot we need between now and then to make that happen. So, please keep buying gift cards and shopping small, and please keep DMing us about plants and beauty products. Right now the future looks uncertain, but everything you do shows us a way through this. A BIG thanks to all of you who have given us your support to date. You're amazing and we're forever grateful.
