[@natjoy22]

I bought a cactus and a pot from Adam & Son & Daughter Gardens!

[@teresarose7524]

I thought that was going to be a little shop. Way bigger on the inside! very nice.

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Oh yeah!!

[@yougrowgail]

Was debating doing a little plant shopping today and my plant shopping envy has made that decision a no-brainer! Finishing the video and heading out! Congratulations on all the book signings 💚 and I hope you had an amazing visit with Nicole.

Definitely check out Sprout Chicago the next time you visit. They’re just down the street from the United Center in a cute funky lively neighborhood and they have an outdoor garden center on a terrace patio area that is so adorable. They have awesome handmade pottery, some rare and hard to find plants as well, a terrarium area, knowledgeable staff.... I just love the vibe in there.

Next time you come there are 2 more near Adams Sons and Daughters. Plant Salon which is a Black owned plant shop and Plantier which has more rare plants.

Some great cacti! Wow haven’t seen that many like ever! Always fun to watch plant shopping in different cities. :)

What an absolute slay 💅 keep it up queen.

Loved this video!! Next time you’re here you’ll have to check out Gethsemane in Andersonville. It’s my absolute favorite and feels so serene, the staff is super helpful, and the selection is vast! Plus Andersonville has tons of cool shops to browse too - nice vintage resale shops!

[@yourfavMattina]

Yes! Love that nursery!

[@PlantyGal05]

Alsip Nursery in Frankfort is about 1.5 hours from chicago has a great selection of plants, common and rare, and pots as well as other planty supplies.

[@suelingbravo5648]

The fact that you were in Chicago! 😩😩

[@gracen.2981]

It never tastes the same. Nothing beats home cooking ❤️.

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

So true!

[@genieb3823]

Next time you are in town, you should visit Chicago Bloom. It’s a BIPOC owned independent shop (just like Adams & Son, Plant Shop).

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Yess!!!! It’s on our list for next time ❤️❤️

[@christelarmstrong9598]

WOW the pots wish I could walk in my stores and it's plenty to select from..❤️

[@judymckerrow6720]

Always take an insulated bag with you wherever you go so you can put plant purchases in it. A cooler works too. I’ve brought plants in the dead of winter from Va. to Mi. And they did really well, and if you have to spent the night somewhere just bring them in. ❄️💚🙃

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

That’s a great tip!!! Hahaha

[@Laura_Garcia86]

Hello Becca! I’m new here just started watching your videos and I’m hooked! Have been watching a lot of your older videos and new ones of course lol! I wanted to ask the plant at 1:51 do you know what that is?? I have that plant, but didn’t have a name!! Thank you so much!!

[@jamiev4310]

Beetle Pepperomia?

[@Laura_Garcia86]

@@jamiev4310 Thank you so much! I’ll look it up

[@justinamontgomery2618]

I do like the song you used for that plant store in the background, does anyone know the song or band? Thanks!

[@Carey.S75]

The Farmer's Market garden centre looks amazing also i loved the music you played on that part of the vlog; what was that tune? Good luck on the book signing.

[@aimeehodgin6359]

:) Yah! Awesome video!

[@carmenalvarez9904]

Hi I go there enjoy your day

[@elmerhernandez5810]

Ropa vieja gang! 🤤😋😋😋

[@allright1937]

I bought your dirt bag and it's great

[@grimmsoup3851]

hey, just wondering, you were talking about being cuban and never having been to a cuban restaurant and it made me think of being POC in the plant community. I was wondering, as such a cornerstone in the houseplant community, if you could maybe talk a bit about that because in my experience, most planty creators are white and I would enjoy, as a POC person myself, watching that content and just hearing a pretty un-talked about side of the community. thx :)

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Hey!! First I’m honored that you consider me a cornerstone of the plant community - thank you for that!! What sort of topics would you want to hear about within that?

[@grimmsoup3851]

​@@BeccaDeLaPlants Mostly just your general experience trying to make room for yourself as a poc in a very white and privileged space (because, let's face it, not everyone can afford a $300 monstera albo. I know I certainly can't!). I would love to hear about funny little plant things that have passed from generation to generation in your family or your roots and how plants were integrated into your life before you became so invested in them. Also just how you think about an navigate being in a majority white circle of plant collectors. I know a lot of extremely high value houseplants are also endangered and being taken from places in Asia, South America, Africa, ect, grown by workers in the communities often paid very poorly and then sold at inflated prices to rich white people. How do you try to not be a part of that cycle? Sorry this is so long!! Hopefully this nonsensical paragraph makes the tiniest bit of sense to u!
