Project Description

deVINE Plantery is a black-woman owned houseplant shop currently based in Maplewood, NJ. Founded by childhood best-friends, Kelly Brown & Maya Haynie, deVINE Plantery was created out of an abundance of love for the beauty and serenity that caring for plants can bring to our lives.  We are now excited to seek the support of our community to help us open our very own space in Montclair, NJ!

deVINE Plantery Logo

deVINE Plantery began as an exclusively online business in Spring 2020 in the height of the COVID-19 lockdown in NJ. During a time that seemed so dark, Maya and Kelly quickly realized the healing power of bringing houseplants into our spaces and wanted to share that with our local community. Fast-forward to September 2020, deVINE Plantery joined an all women-owned shared co-op space, Maplewood Mercantile in Maplewood NJ. This first retail space allowed Kelly & Maya to embody the company’s tag line “Turning plant care into a lifestyle," by truly meeting every plant parent where they are at by providing a personalized experience to every customer.

We have now decided to take deVINE Plantery to the next level by opening our very own retail location in downtown Montclair, NJ! Having a dedicated deVINE Plantery retail store will allow us to truly meet our full potential as a business, while creating a safe space for all plant parents, both new and experienced. We understand the significance of being one of the few fully black-woman owned retail plants stores in New Jersey, and want to continue to service and inspire our plant family who are from all walks of life. Thank you for supporting us to get to this point, and we can’t wait to see you this summer!
