A popular Nottingham plant business has announced the launch of its second shop which is due to open in the city centre around March in time for Mother's Day. The Little Plant Guys will keep their Beeston-based location alongside the new Derby Road store.
He said: "I was walking into town and I saw Universal Works, then I saw the shop next door was up for let. I thought it would be a really good location because Universal Works are a really popular Nottingham brand who are so well-known. The Little Plant Guys shop in Beeston is known for its beautiful layout and chilled atmosphere as well as Phill's dog, Larry, who makes an appearance. The shop is a must-visit for Nottingham's plant fans - not just for an unplanned plant purchase but advice from the man himself on all things horticulture.
"This one is an easy refurb in comparison to Beeston which was the first one we did and it was a mess. We had to do everything which was about eight weeks' worth of work and really full-on. We need electricians to come in and help with lighting then it's a decorating job and furniture." "A big part of the business for me is communication with customers and taking the time to be able to talk to people. It's not just 'here is a plant, please buy' but it's about taking the time to have a conversation with people and let them know what they are buying and how to look after it."
