About Us

A creative plant shop where we believe that plants and people belong together.

Hello!

We opened The Victorian Atlanta in 2017 to bring you a curated selection of tropical and desert plants, beautiful quality planters, and fun accessories. Here you'll find a variety of unique tropical and desert plants to enrich your space. You can also count on us for all of the plant tips you need to feel confident about caring for your new plants.

We also offer workshops and residential and commercial plant design through our Greenterior Program.

We're Libby and Cary

We founded The Victorian Atlanta because we were inspired to create the kind of shop that we felt Atlanta was missing: a plant shop offering not-so-common plants along with the indoor staples that everyone knows and loves, plus handmade pottery from both local Atlanta artists as well as artists from around the country.

Libby has a background in the floral design industry, an art degree, and a creative passion for all things floral and botanical. She grew up in a home where plants were always prevalent, and working in the garden was a weekly activity.

Cary is a talented photographer with a degree in photography, and he has grown to love plants alongside Libby. He collects all types of desert plants and loves pairing them with unique handmade pottery. Cary curates our entire desert selection for both shops, and his eye truly helps separate our selection from any other plant shop.

Our Locations

The Victorian Atlanta started inside Ponce City Market in 2017, where we later opened our own storefront in 2020. We've since expanded not once, but twice, into a second location in East Atlanta Village where we dreamed up a concept where plants and coffee could live together.

When we established our second location in 2021 in EAV, we knew it was time to bring coffee into the mix. Our friends at Bellwood Coffee, another local Atlanta business, were the perfect partner for our East Atlanta location. Stop by to snag a cup of coffee and browse our extensive plant and planter selection!

At the end of last year we moved our Ponce City Market location to the brand new Fourth Ward development located on the Atlanta Beltline Eastside Trail in the Old Fourth Ward neighborhood. With this new space we are excited to introduce Burle's Bar, our new cocktail concept, inside our plant shop. Burle’s Bar is a 1960s inspired lounge with a relaxed, moody vibe. The lounge overlooks The Victorian Atlanta plant shop which is the source of inspiration for Burle’s Bar. The bar is named for Roberto Burle Marx, a Brazilian landscape architect and artist. He discovered many tropical plant species, many of which are sold as indoor plants today and sold at The Victorian Atlanta. Burle’s menu ffeatures a selection of rotating cocktails focusing on classics, seasonal zero proof cocktails, natural and small production wines, as well as a simple beer menu + a rotation of local chefs to provide tasty bites and snacks. We can't wait for The Victorian and Burle's Bar to be your favorite place to hang out, slow down and have a drink. Cheers!
