Andi Xoch, creator of @LatinxWithPlants hosts plant pop-ups on the weekends outside her home in Boyle Heights
Xoch says her weekend plant pop-ups have grown more popular each week. “Supporters have expressed that they don’t want to support big corporations, and people are dealing with anxiety caused by COVID and the long history of systemic oppression,” she says. “People are hungry for any sense of normalcy, and plants provide that.”
To purchase, prospective plant parents can browse the @LatinxWithPlants Instagram page to see what’s for sale and then direct-message the account for an appointment. Xoch will set up a 15-minute time slot to view plants and planters and make purchases in real life.Advertisement I started the page because I wanted to highlight my Latinx plant parenthood community and see how we connect and identify through plants, whether their plants be native, from their native homes or houseplants. I live in Boyle Heights, where there are many hidden gardens that represent immigrant homes. Their gardens have plants and herbs that they grew up with. It’s not just for aesthetics. Their plants represent them and their culture.
Andi Xoch, right, creator of @latinxwithplants on Instagram, talks with a customer in her pop-up tent.During COVID lockdown, I felt myself relying on my plants for solace and consolation. I realized more people were feeling the same way, and that drove me to start doing the pop-ups and doing porch pickups. I want to keep these beautiful plants at an affordable price, and I want more POC in the plant world. I want to educate my community about air-purifying plants and native plants .
