"This overachieving West Adams plant nursery goes above and beyond to make the queer community feel safe. Not only do they host an event called “Readings At Sunset: A Queer Poetry Night'' on a monthly basis, they also operate an inclusive night market with over 20 QTBIPOC vendors selling handmade earrings, matcha candles, vintage clothing, and more. So if you’re looking for a laid-back space to meet new people, pick up a new swiss cheese plant, and support some queer artists, this is it. Recently, the space has been threatened by plans for a future development project—Plant Chica’s owners have launched a GoFundMe to raise money for securing their current space, or finding a new one in the neighborhood.
