Student shoppers seeking to brighten up their apartments and dorm rooms could purchase plants and flowers from Happy Hole Flower Farm, Smiling Plants and Tickle Root, as well as plant hangers from Martian Macrame at the Back-to-School Plant Pop-Up at Zelicks on Aug. 23.
San Marcos resident Dani Longoria, who bought several plants during the pop-up, said she preferred to buy from local merchants rather than chain stores. “I like buying here because it’s more intimate, since the vendors cater to the community. And I feel that these plants last a lot longer.”
Stetson Click, co-manager of Zelicks, said that the bar wanted to put “their best foot forward” for Texas State students arriving in San Marcos for the fall semester. “We want to make them feel welcome, to make that transition a little bit easier.”
