MEET: ALYSSA SIDES | PLANT SOCIAL

There’s something grounding about plants — the way they soften a space, slow you down, and make a place feel lived in. Plant Social was created with that feeling in mind. Founded by Alyssa, this shop is for plant lovers, plant-curious folks, and anyone craving a little more green in their everyday life.

Plant Social goes beyond houseplants (though you’ll find plenty of those, too). Alyssa curates botanica skincare, plant-themed stationery, dishware, and thoughtful goods that celebrate living alongside nature. It’s all rooted in the idea that plants aren’t just décor — they’re a lifestyle, one that invites care, intention, and a deeper connection to your space.

For us, Plant Social holds a special place. Alyssa was one of the very first vendors at Joshua Tree Trading Post, and watching her grow alongside the market has been something really meaningful. Her passion shows in every detail, from the plants she chooses to the way she encourages others to bring life into their homes.

If you’re looking to add a little greenery — or just want to browse something fresh and inspiring — stop by and check out Plant Social next time you’re at the Trading Post. A small reminder that even in the desert, things grow beautifully.
