Case Study: Plants & Spaces streamlines operations and grows retail with Square

Blossoming From Pop-Up to Multihyphenate Plant Nursery With Plants & Spaces

Plants & Spaces, an LA-based plant nursery, interior design, and retail business founded by Zilah Drahn, needed a more professional and scalable way to handle payments, inventory, and service sales as it grew from pop-up events into a multihyphenate operation. The team moved away from peer-to-peer payment apps and spreadsheets and began using Square, including Square Reader, to better support its expanding mix of plant care services, retail products, and larger client projects.

Square helped Plants & Spaces streamline operations with tools like Square Reader, Square Terminal, Square Stand, Square Invoices, and Square Inventory Management. The business said Square made it easier to manage retail, track items with SKUs and photos, and review sales by category for tax time, while also helping the brand look more professional. Retail now accounts for 30% of the business, and Square has simplified day-to-day workflows and improved efficiency as Plants & Spaces continues to grow.
