Famous In Oregon

Yesterday we realized what an impact our little corner of plant heaven had on our community. We had no idea how important our physical shop was to so many. 😭

We had folks coming in just for the nostalgia of it, telling us about a time they needed an escape and came to our shop to just feel better. We had groups gathering after we closed outside looking in the windows in disbelief. We saw y’all on the cameras.😭

We had several council members from surrounding cities coming in to support and to tell us how much they love what we’re doing in the plant world.

We had past employees coming in for one last time and even past employees parents of some of our student workers we’ve employed over the years.

And we had an endless line all day long of folks checking out helping us liquidate so we can recalibrate our systems and shipping operations Sunday morning (without having to move plants!) to resume shipping on Monday. We even had mayors from other cities calling us and offering advice and telling us what could still be done.

At one point we had so many cars everywhere and so many people around that the cops showed up!🤣 We are so grateful for the absolute downpour of love and affection. This whole experience has been so heavy on the brain but we feel so full in our hearts.

Thank you for showing up. Thank you for holding us up in a harder time and thank you for always being there for us.❤️

For a super positive person like me, it’s been hard to continue to talk about. I need something else to talk about!🤣 My plan for today is to dive in to our new operations and to make sure our staff knows we aren’t going anywhere. Once I’m done admiring the onslaught of new peduncles on my Hoyas I just found this morning, that is!🤩

Locals, nothing really changes for you except for the shop is no longer shoppable as we will need every inch of space for shipping. Local pickups aren’t changing, large plant orders are still happening as well as repots and Didi stays.🐈‍⬛

Onward to the next chapter of life after Famous In Oregon.❤️🫶🏻🪴📚

With the sudden news that we can no longer ship out of our Victorian property due to zoning, we have made the tough decision to close our store front to move all of our shipping operations in.

We are sad for the community but small business is tough and this is what needs to happen to keep 19 staff members employed and thousands of customers across the country receiving plants.

It’s been a great run, Prosper! We are so grateful for our local customers continued support. We will see y’all tonight at 6:30pm for our last live sale from the shop.💔
