Bloom Collective

Bloom Collective is a shop on Falls of Neuse Road that covers a lot of ground: houseplants and botanical decor, handmade gifts from local makers, a cafe, and space for gathering. The motto is Plants, Gifts, Gathering, and all three are meant literally.

The plant side runs to lush houseplants, unusual planters, plant care essentials and seasonal greenery. The gift side is stocked with work by local artists and artisan vendors, so what you carry out is unlikely to turn up in a chain store down the road.
