I am BEYOND THRILLED that you visited Baltimore!!! Liz and her team are so wonderful, they support local schools and reach out within the community every chance they get. This a charming store in Remington. Thank you for profiling someone in our community and encouraging more plant lovers to visit and experience our city. ♥️ B Willow ♥️ Baltimore!!
When I saw Summer at B.Willow it was for me WORLDS COLLIDING IN THE BEST WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow thank you so much for sharing this. Appreciate you!
I love how Summer goes straight for the cacti ☺️💚🌵💕
What a wonderful shop and ethos! Thank you for promoting education and conservancy at the retail level. Well done!
Thank you for watching! Come see us if you're in Baltimore!
Ohhh Myyy Goodness😮 This is a gem of a cornerstone 🤍🤍🤍
Just binged BAD SEEDS podcast!!!! So good, so true to you and so inspiring. Thank you for keeping the bar high for informative content with a call to action💜@summerrayneoaks
Bad Seeds is so well done!
@@b.willow7046 it really is!
Lovely plant shop, pretty lady and solid philosophy..how cool is that!? Lucky neighborhood 🪴🤗💚
Baltimore representation let’s go!!! 🥳🥳
yessss!!!! thank you for watching :)
My daughter lives in Baltimore and we frequent Be Willow every time I am there. Thank you for putting them on your channel.❤
Thank you so much for supporting us!! Say hi next time you're in if I'm there :)
I mostly cultivate cactus native to where i live (here in South America), it's so cool to see a shop working on conservation!! poaching is such a huge issue but it's not hopeless, together we can solve it. great video!!
Yes we can! Thanks for watching :)
what a beautiful shop with a wonderful philosophy- i would gladly buy there!🍀
so much to overthink in this plant selling buisness..- i personally would appriciate legal actions that make e.g. big box stores take plastik nursery pots back- they are for sure not single use. . .im drowning in plastik nursery pots- asket a plant selling chain if they take them back- to be recycled/used again. . - they said well we would throw them into trash. .sadly very frustrating
YES I hate beyond words how wasteful the nursery pots are. We've reached out to our suppliers to take them back and only one, a small local grower, says yes. Says something doesn't it... we hope to eventually grow our own plants but for now our goal is to shift from working primarily with plant brokers to plant growers. Would love to continue the convo about the environmental impacts of the houseplant industry. Would love to see it become more eco-friendly...and it can! Just takes more people advocating and becoming more aware...
Thank you! Another great video 😊
You're most welcome! Thanks for watching.
Hi Summer Rayne, thank you for spotlighting B Willow. I am from Baltimore and am very familiar with her shop. What she is doing for the endangered species is amazing 👏. And her shop is beautiful.
Thank you for supporting my shop and for watching! Say hello next time you're in :)
So awesome
❤
I've been there before, got a white fusion calathea
I live in Bmore and Plants Alive is my favorite shop in this area!
I've had an Aloe hybrid from there I got in December 2022. Nice to see the place get exposure to the plant community. There are many great plant shops around DC, MD and North Virginia. I remember Summer has also been to Homestead Gardens though. If you're ever in Leesburg Virginia, the downtown has a cute plant shop called "Foliage Plant Shop" nestled within a bookstore called "Birch Tree Book Store".
I am your big fan summer .....love from india💗🙏
Oh! My favorite shop! I live 3 blocks away and visit B. Willow frequently! Thank you for coming to Baltimore!
I suggest you get to know Mich at Prickly Prospects nursery in Tucson. He's a Ph.D. sort whose nursery is also a botanic garden and he's very much into conservation. His plants include many rare, threatened, etc. He's a great source of information as well as plants. His thesis was on effects of climate change on cacti. If you decide to visit Tucson's many gardens and cactus/succulent nurseries, reach out to me. Retired nurseryman complete with guest house. I like what you're doing and getting your niche firmly establisthed.
Beautiful plant shop, wish you all ghe best of success and hope your local community sypport you going forward 😊
Looks like my next field trip into the city! Thanks for posting!
Beautiful shop, I would love to visit when I'm in Baltimore. ❤
Danggit I had not been following your channel in a good while and you came to the city I would have invited you to my place as well for a tour !!
“The vibe is changing” = gentrification. Plants are for everyone, no?☮️
Appreciate this comment but I know Liz and her team. They agree- plants are for everyone!

Sorry, copying and pasting from my other comment - Gentrification is 100% happening in Baltimore- I would never dispute that or pretend that I'm not privileged as a white woman. What we were specifically discussing that didn't make it completely into the episode was how our neighborhood, Remington, used to have a vibrant array of corner stores. At some point they became re-zoned as residential, and lots of these corner stores sat vacant for literally decades. It took a lot of work from our community organization and lots of others to re-zone these corner stores to be commercial... so shops could even open and operate. Hope this adds a little more clarity to that part of the conversation.
Shared 😊
This is a great flower shop and well organized 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you! 🙂

Gentrification was the first thought I had when they were discussing changes in neighborhoods 😢

@b.willow7046 what saddens me most is the cloud of whiteness felt in this episode. I have been watching Plant One On Me quite a bit and this was the first time I felt whiteness and the possible role white privilege may have had for your business. It was terrible. I wish there was more thought as to how this episode and what made it in may have resonated to viewers negatively impacted by gentrification. I didn't enjoy the episode for that reason. While I appreciate your response, with everything terrible happening in the world, I wish either the implications of gentrification was addressed fully or not implied at all.
Please know that this saddens me deeply and I will take everything you’ve said to heart.
I got more encouragement to have indoor jungle because summer Rayne... I hope when she visit for vacation in Cyprus.. I hope she visit in my plantshop
Cactus and Succulent Societies will have members that have been there for so long that they turn a cheek if one habitat collects and give an excuse. Hearing this more helps for the younger ones. No exceptions and no excuses absolutely. Thank you!
Hello hello!
This was so good to see. Absolutely wonderful you were here in Baltimore to bring light to this plant shop. My first hearing of her/her business.
This is my town!!!!!!!
Thank you Summer!
Plant One One Me was my biggest find during covid. Thank you!🪴🌵🌺❤
