After months of watching these newly built work/live lofts on Union St. sit vacant, I noticed that one of the storefronts was finally occupied. The new tenant, envy, describes itself as “plants and pots for urban living.” The airy space is filled with tropical plants and hanging planters, and they even have some artwork on display.

The shop focuses on indoor exotic tropical plants, which sounds like just the thing to combat the rainy, gray days of winter that will soon be upon us.

They also have a small selection of outdoor plants, and can special order just about anything you need. They are currently offering 20% off all outdoor plants and trees. Check out the envy blog for more shop goings-on. It’s good to see this space occupied. Hopefully some other business will follow suit!
