Boise Plant Porch by Idahappy Roots

One of my favorite things about this weird little business is that I don’t actually have to be standing here for it to work. 🌿

People stop by, wander through the plants, choose something they love, pay self-serve and head on with their day—sometimes while I’m off doing completely unrelated life things. 😂

I don’t think I’ll ever stop thinking that’s pretty cool.

This tiny porch idea really did become its own little thing. 💚

The bright pink polka dots are BACK. 💕🌿

These were some of the most popular little plants I’ve had—and still some of the most requested—so they absolutely deserved a little attention.

And because I somehow managed to miss most of National Houseplant Week 😂, I’m doing a belated little celebration this week too: free mini plant keychain with purchase while supplies last.

Self-serve as always at Boise Plant Porch. 💚

Things you might not expect to find on a Boise front porch: a tiny plant shop, a little neon, a whole lot of plants, and absolutely nobody behind the counter. 😂🌿

Completely self-serve and somehow still one of my favorite weird little ideas. 💚

Your weekend plans could probably handle one tiny plant detour. 🌿

Browse at your own pace, find something green, and leave with a little serotonin. 💚

For anyone who’s ever wondered, “Am I actually supposed to just walk onto the porch?”😂 Yes. That’s the whole idea. Browse at your own pace, choose your plant and use the self-serve payment set up 🌿💚

I’m starting to think Boise plant people have a type… and apparently that type is pink. 😂💕

I can’t really blame you, because some of the plants going onto the porch tonight are ridiculous.

The cabinet is looking extra colorful and, as always, everything is self-serve. 🌿💚

One of Boise’s slightly more unusual little finds. 🌿 A plant cabinet, a kindness wall, a little neon—and absolutely nobody behind the counter because the whole thing is self-serve on a front porch. 💚

Something about a gloomy Boise evening makes the porch feel extra cozy. 🌧️🌿

The lights are on, the plants are tucked into the cabinet, and the little kindness wall is waiting too.

If your evening needs a tiny dose of green, the porch is open and self-serve. 💚

Just doing my part to make your Thursday a little more dangerous if you’re incapable of walking past a $6 plant. 🌿😂

There are some seriously pretty little finds on the Boise Plant Porch right now—including these begonias and coleus that absolutely did not need to be this cute.

Self-serve porch pickup in Boise 💚

These photos were meant to capture Boise Plant Porch, but looking through them, I feel like they captured something a little bigger. 🌿💚

What started as a tiny idea on my front porch has become this colorful little place where people stop for plants, leave kind notes for strangers, bring their friends, share stories, and remind me how special our Boise community really is.

Obviously the plants are a pretty big part of it 😂 but somewhere along the way, everything happening around the plants became my favorite part.

I love this weird little corner of Boise and everyone who has helped turn it into what it is.

Keep Boise weird. Keep Boise growing. And most importantly, keep Boise kind. 💚
