Price and Howell have both worked in retail and Pink Flamingo Plant Co. is their first business on their own. Price enjoys art and Howell likes to grow plants. They started out with one tunnel greenhouse full of a variety of indoor plants and a gift shop painted pink on the outside, and have since expanded to three greenhouses with a fourth under construction.The business partners are the owners of the lot and curated the other businesses inside, including Taqueria Jessica, Neptune Coffee and the family-owned Chaba Kitchen. Additionally, the business has a trellised space that can be used for special events and monthly art bazaars.

“We've been patient as far as picking out the food trucks and just waiting for the right people,” Price said.

Inside Pink Flamingo Plant Co., artists' work is on display inside the gift shop. Terrariums, or plant scapes in an enclosed vessel propagated with foliage and moss, sit on the far right wall. The gift shop also carries jewelry and candles from Ella’s Apothecary and Adorn and Garnish, printed sculptures from Print Errors, ceramics from Full Spectrum Ceramics, lapel pins, key chains, gift cards, and work from Object Lover, a print design artist.

“I've got a billion ideas. Most of them are related to creativity in some way or another and I think, ultimately, this place is just kind of a product of me and Chase being ourselves,” Price said.

Price sees parents and kids come on the weekends and others come in for lunch or just to sit with their computer.

“I see people come here and enjoy it, and immediately feel comfortable, like they're at home here,” Price said. “A lot of people have definitely turned this into part of their life.”
