History

After working years in the retail industry, we shifted gears to do something more creative. We opened a landscape design and construction business. But never stopped scouring estate sales, and vintage flea markets, and turning those cast-off treasures into repurposed one-of-a-kind furniture or art pieces. We also found new inspirations from our travels. Working at Pottery Barn and managing various fortune 500 companies gave us the experience to run a store. We opened our shop with the mission to share our love of nature and highlight talented local makers. Now we are back to our roots and into the weeds!

Specialties

We are the 1st in San Diego to sell Rare Aroid plants and Oddities. We feature local artisan, fair trade and US-made products. A unique home and plant gift store that is a fusion of indoor-outdoor living and creative space. We love the juxtaposition of modern vintage and organic. We appreciate all designs from minimalist to bohemian nomad and have brought that eclectic aesthetic to our shop. Visit our Instagram @shopartifactsandartichokes
