AN INDEPENDENT plant shop has made a “stunning” return to the heart of Worcester.
Plantamamita, an award-winning, family-run store specialising in indoor plants and botanical styling, has opened a new store in Chapel Walk.
The shop was previously based in Worcester city centre before relocating to larger premises on London Road, where it is still trading.
Mike Lloyd, centre manager at Chapel and Friary Walk, said: “We are absolutely delighted to welcome Plantamamita to Chapel Walk Worcester.
“The response from visitors has already been fantastic and the shop itself looks absolutely stunning.
“It is especially positive to see successful independent businesses continuing to invest in Worcester.
“Knit N Stuff’s move into a larger unit in Friary Walk is a brilliant example of growth within the centre, and it has allowed another established Worcester business to return to the city centre with an exciting new presence in Chapel Walk.”

The return was made possible after long-standing independent retailer Knit N Stuff relocated to a larger unit in Friary Walk.
Plantamamita’s Chapel Walk store follows recent industry recognition at the RHS Malvern Spring Festival, where it was awarded a four-star trade stand award.
Liuva Chacon, owner of Plantamamita, said: “We are incredibly grateful for all the opportunities coming our way.
“As an independent family-run business, we approach every opportunity with hard work, determination and a genuine passion for what we do — something that originally started in a garden shed during lockdown.
“None of this would be possible without the amazing support we have received from the Worcester community.”

The business has also been invited to take part in the Badminton Flower Show in July, where it will be creating a gazebo-style ‘Houseplant Extravaganza’.
Plantamamita plans to continue trading at markets across the Five Counties and will offer immersive workshops and experiences from its new city centre location.
