PlanterSam Expands and Celebrates One Year of Business

PlanterSam is celebrating their one-year anniversary and is excited to announce their opening. After outgrowing their first location, they have expanded to a new 1,175 square-foot retail space, where they look forward to serving the community in the San Marcos area and beyond!

How Did PlanterSam Grow Their Roots?

The founder of PlanterSam, owner Samira, feels that plants give a sense of purpose, and this was the premise that started PlanterSam a year ago during the pandemic. Along with her love for plants, Samira's plant knowledge grew, which ultimately gave her a sense of belonging. Slowly, alongside her husband Morteza, Samira began to sell her arrangements on Instagram and decided to start a pop-up plant store. What first started in her mom's garage quickly expanded to the driveway (a sign that they might need a new space). Samira's mom joined in, creating the gorgeous macramé that you can still buy to this day. Now, you can purchase everything from plants, pots, and succulent arrangments to macramé, plant accessories, and products from other San Diego small businesses and gift shops.


With the help from the community earlier this year, PlanterSam was able to donate multiple carloads full of warm clothing to a local San Diego non-profit that helps people experiencing homelessness.


All of this ties into their new slogan, which they are proud to reveal: "Rooted in Love."

A One of a Kind Business

Samira has created a community where visitors feel welcome and loves to use her expertise to help clients buy the perfect plant. It doesn't matter if you are looking for your first plant, your hundredth, or a gift for someone special. Many customers rave about the knowledge that Samira and Morteza have about caring for each plant they sell — hence the repeat customers! It's not uncommon to leave with personalized tips for caring for your plant. And, if you need it, they will help pick the plant that is perfect for your environment!
