Tansy: Plants & Decor

Shawna Christian’s dream was to create a beautiful shop that would not only sell decor from around the world, but also be a plant lover’s sanctuary. Tansy was born from this dream. 

Tansy is practically overflowing with plants, the greenery filling the shop to the brim. People often walk into the shop solely because they want to take in the relaxing energy of the surrounding plants. 

“...they come in weekly because they just want their little dose of happiness.”

Shawna wasn’t always into plants. She ran an IT company for over two decades before she became obsessed with plants. There was no going back after that. 

“It took ten years to really just hone my skills and really learn how to take care of plants.”

Even though Tansy sells many other wares, Shawna says that the shop wouldn’t be the same without the plants. 

“You can't put a price on walking in a room and feeling the air change, specifically from just having plants…it's magical.”
