Plants, Community, and Business with Tropical Express
About this episode
On this episode of Black In The Garden, we explore the incredible journey of Tropical Express ATL, a business that sprouted from a backyard greenhouse and blossomed into one of Atlanta’s most beloved plant destinations. From serving plant lovers, photographers, and filmmakers, to being a go-to spot for creatives, Tropical Express has become more than just a plant shop—it's a community hub.
We'll discuss how Tropical Express embraced the shift in how people viewed plants and indoor spaces during the pandemic, and how its founder embarked on bold “plant hunts” to curate a standout collection.
Whether you're passionate about plants, business, or community, this episode offers fresh insights on growing not just plants, but dreams. Tune in for a captivating conversation about nurturing both nature and ambition.
