Hopping back on to share the Tri-State Houseplant Expo is only 1 week away!

With our closure we are no longer able to vend but you will definitely see me there supporting other local plant shops & creatives!

Hope to see you there too! 🌱

One week from today!

Feeling nostalgic for my favorite weekend in the garden center! 🌿

Even though we closed last year you can still find many of your favorites locally! We supplied most of our Spring flowers & foliage locally!

Some fan favorites like the Apricot Begonia, Fuschia Hanging Baksets & Dusty Miller were grown locally by Jenkins Family Greenhouses!

The Tri-Color Sweet Potato Vine were grown locally by Danhauer Florist and Gift Shop! They also grew many of your favorite hot pepper varieties & uncommon herbs!

Shop local this Mother's Day weekend! 🌼

Hello friends!

Thank you for all your kind comments & wishes for us to reopen. It means a lot! 💚

As much as I would love to, I've had to accept it's just not physically possible for me to reopen the houseplant store. Maintaining hundreds and hundreds of plants daily is a lot of work. Through the hardwork & dedication of my employees they helped me immensely the past couple of years.

So what is going on with First Ave?

We're still open to subleasing this space, if you are interested feel free to talk to me about the details in-person at the shop.

In the meantime I do have good news for all of our fans who loved our crystal & mineral selection!

Aura Crystal Gift Shoppe opens this Friday!

Opening Weekend Hours:
✨️ Friday Noon-7pm
✨️ Saturday Noon-7pm
✨️ Sunday Noon-4pm

Follow our new page for updates & new items coming soon!

Also, if you are a fellow small business or crafter and would like to arrange a Pop-Up at our shop please reach us at the Aura's fb page or email us at for details at:

Especially, in light of our closure earlier this year, we can't convey how much this means.
Not only were we voted best in 1 category but 3 categories overall!
We're incredibly humbled and flattered. We miss you all dearly & thank you for this very sweet parting gift. 💚

We will be open tomorrow Sun Noon-4pm!

Still lots of random items left & fixtures! Even some new items! Will post pics tomorrow!

09/28/2024

Here until 5pm today!

Especially since the banks are closed today please note we are CASH ONLY.

We no longer have a POS system to accept cards nor gift cards.

I also apologize I won't be able to respond to individual messages or comments today as I run things at the "Indoor Yard Sale".

Popular items going fast but still lots of great items!
