The house plant specialists, which already has shops in Stockport and Sale, will open a six-month pop-up concept on George Street, between Jake Shoes and DCM, in mid-October.

Owner Emma Nosurak started the business after being intrigued by the number of nurseries in Melbourne, Australia. Her mission was to bring “more green” to Manchester and started out with just 100 mini cacti outside an office.

Plant Shop Manchester is the latest independent to arrive in the Stamford Quarter after record label Stutter & Twitch launched a coffee caravan concept in Stamford Square in the spring.
