Story of Ed's Plant Shop
Ed's Plant Shop blossomed from the dream of founder Ed, a proud Brooklyn native whose love of plants began in childhood. His earliest inspiration came from his grandmother’s vibrant Tradescantia, which thrived on their stoop and sparked a lifelong fascination with the natural world.
Ed’s first step into the retail world began with a Craigslist job doing data entry for a small local shop that later expanded online. That experience, paired with a growing personal plant collection, helped him discover a new passion—not just for plants, but for connecting people to them through thoughtful retail.
After years of collecting and caring for plants in his spare time, Ed decided to take the leap. In 2020, he opened the doors to Ed’s Plant Shop with the goal of curating a selection of healthy, high-quality houseplants that were both accessible and exciting to the local community. What started as a personal project quickly became a trusted source for plant lovers across the country seeking rare finds and reliable service.
