Tansy is a black, woman-owned and operated plant nursery and home goods store located in Seattle, WA and Burbank, CA., founded by Shawna Christian, an L.A. native.

The pivot to owning the plant shop happened after Shawna’s 20-year career running an IT company. Around the time she turned 50, she had her ‘Aha!’ moment, realizing she was ready for a big career shift. A lifelong lover of plants, she invested all her money and opened the plant store Tansy in L.A in 2019. In April 2023, Tansy expanded to Seattle becoming the city's only black woman-owned plant and retail store, and it’s quickly developing a fan base in the Emerald City.

Their mission is simple, but powerful: helping every home inspire joy and reflect the uniqueness within each person. Wherever they go, the Tansy women create a sense of community, not just an exceptional shopping experience. That’s just one of the reasons the store quickly became a go-to spot for plant enthusiasts and plant-curious customers alike who revel in their wide array of hand-selected indoor and outdoor plants as well as vast selection of art and home goods.

One of the things that sets the shop apart, along with its incredible house plant selection and explosion of vibrant colors, is that it’s ethno-centric. 90% of their home decor is either sourced from charitable organizations or crafted by artisans from around the world, representing almost every country on the planet. It also provides a community space where kids, families and others can experience hands-on learning about how to choose, plant and care for house plants.

We are a small business, retail store focused on plants and worldly home décor. We have price points for every budget.
