“We went through about 100 pots at our first sale,” she said. “We sold all of the pots and plants on Saturday and had nothing left to sell on Sunday. I had to make a list of the people who arrived after everything had sold so I could give them the first choice at my next sale.” During a recent visit, the 200-square-foot store was overflowing with a vast array of popular houseplants, including rubber fig trees, snake plants,“Good vibes only,” read a sign placed on her desk. Behind it, another sign reads “Black Owned Businesses.” On the opposing wall hangs photos of her ancestors who have passed: Her great aunt Naida McCullough, her maternal grandmother Pauline Stovall, , great aunt Lottie Charbonnet and her paternal grandmother.
“We are adding more ancestors to the wall to watch over and protect the store including my father, Thurman Brooms, who was killed when I was 2,” she explained. “He was also an entrepreneur and had stores and from what I hear, I inherited my hustle from him.”Clad in a colorful face mask made from a bold African print, Brooms misted philodendrons while offering advice to customers who perused the spider plants, succulents and pothos she has hung from clothing racks on the sidewalk.
There were times, though, when she worried Queen would not survive. “I fought my way out of it,” Brooms said.
