Hey there, neighbors! We are so excited to share our interview with Amesia Doles, owner/operator of the STUNNING plant shop Botanic Panic on 18th & Valencia (located in the heart of the Mission District)!
Amesia launched her venture at the height of the pandemic, using government loans to purchase and outfit a vintage van for use as a nomadic "brick and mortar." She recently transitioned into the side space within Fellow Barber, operating her nursery seven days a week.
We talk about the impact that ONE sale can make on a tiny business, and what our hopes + fears are for the coming years in the Mission.
Many thanks to Amesia for sharing her passion with us on the podcast, and for curating such a beautiful collection of plants for all of us to enjoy!
