A new store has put down roots in Downtown Jackson, promising a range of houseplants for both the amateur and seasoned plant-lover as well as a fresh start for local business owners.
Grounded Plant Company, which opened its doors May 1 to crowds of curious Jacksonians, has set up shop along Airways Blvd to provide a unique plant shopping experience while supporting other small, local businesses.
