NYC Plant Market is more than a marketplace for plants. It’s a movement to reconnect New Yorkers with nature.
We bring together local plant shops, independent growers, and small nurseries across the city for a once-a-month curated community market that celebrates urban greening. From rare aroids, beginner houseplants, to handmade ceramic planters, we cultivate not just plants, but a green urban community. Our mission is to make green living accessible, sustainable, and rooted in local culture.
Whether you are a beginner or practically Mother Nature, this plant market is for you. Come join the party and learn a thing or two about nature and plants from the community that loves them.
See you at the plant market!
Free entry, but donations are encouraged and highly appreciated. 🌱
NYC Plant Market is a project of Corse Design in collaboration with Culture Lab LIC.
