Los AngelesLeaves: A Little Jungle in the Middle of Palm Springs
Who says you need a plane ticket to escape to the tropics? Sometimes all you need is a little greenery, a good cup of coffee, and a hidden gem tucked behind a parking lot.
Meet Los AngelesLeaves, a plant shop hiding in plain sight behind Café La Jefa on Indian Canyon Drive in Palm Springs. Walk through the door and suddenly you're engulfed in what feels like a life-size green terrarium.
Gorgeous indoor plants surround you, creating a lush, leafy oasis that makes you want to trade your desert landscape for a rainforest (at least temporarily).
We caught up with Ian, one of the owners, who shared that plants can do more than make your home or apartment look Instagram-worthy.
They can actually help change the energy of your space. Want to manifest a little prosperity?
Ian suggests the money tree. Looking to bring some fresh, clean energy into your environment? The snake plant is another favorite. Apparently, your next home makeover might just come with a side of manifestation!
And there's some science behind our love affair with greenery. Research suggests indoor plants can help reduce stress, improve mood, enhance focus, and encourage relaxation. Basically, Mother Nature might be onto something.
But here's where it gets really fun for the SQUAD.
Los Angeles Leaves also offers group events, making it a fabulous addition to your Palm Springs bachelorette or girls' getaway itinerary. Gather your girlfriends, get your hands dirty, and create your own tropical masterpieces. It's a chance to unleash your creativity, play with plants, and take home a little living souvenir from your desert escape.
Consider it retail therapy, but make it photosynthesis. Your next happy place might just be hiding behind your morning latte at Café La Jefa.
SQUAD TIP: Coffee, plants, and a creative girls' activity? That's a Palm Springs itinerary trifecta.
