✨ A Plant Lover’s First Step When Traveling｜Hidden Gems in Denver

Forget hitting up cafés, museums, or Instagram-famous landmarks — the moment I land, I open Google Maps and type “plant shop”! 🤣💚 I love visiting plant stores when I travel, It’s like collecting souvenirs, but better. I bring home a plant, a few leaves, And with them, a piece of that city’s air and sunlight. The leaf veins, the scents, the names — They’ve slowly become my way of collecting city memories. In Denver — a high-altitude city with bright sun and crisp air — the greens feel especially vibrant. Here are a few local plant shops I explored on this trip, each like a mini-forest with its own style 👇 🌱 The Bronze Petal The most diverse selection — from beginner-friendly cacti and succulents to rare varieties I’ve always dreamed of. One whole shelf was dedicated to rare plants, though prices felt a bit steep. My favorite part? The thoughtful layout, with plants placed according to light needs. Walking in feels like stepping into a real jungle. 🌿🏞️ 🪴 Plant Garage Colorful handmade pots + a room full of greenery = feels like a sunny afternoon somewhere in Mexico. 🇲🇽☀️ 🌵 The Plant Room Maybe my timing was off — didn’t find many plants that caught my eye, but they surprisingly had bamboo! 🎋 💐 Devil’s Ivy Tucked away on a quiet street. They had some lovely begonias, but the selection felt small. More like an Instagram-worthy decor spot than a plant shop. 🌷 Overgrown Home The plants here are truly special — the kind that make you stop and study every leaf pattern. They had the best variety of rare plants among all the shops I visited. ✨ For a plant lover like me, traveling isn’t just about the views — It’s about bringing a little of each city’s air and sunshine back home. Every time I glance at the leaves I brought from Denver, I remember those warm, glowing travel moments all over again. 💫 #LivingWithPlants #CantLiveWithoutPlants #HealingThroughPlants #PlantLife #PlantGrowthDiary#Denver #Colorado #PlantLover #PlantJourneys #TravelMemories
