The shop takes its name from the native passionflower vine and frames its plant selection around biodiversity and thoughtful home landscapes. **What makes Maypop Coffee & Garden Shop special?** The coffee-and-garden hybrid sets the tone — visitors browse plants with a cup in hand, and the greenhouse doubles as an evening event space for workshops and dinners. - The houseplant offering leans tropical and pet-safe, with a curated rare-finds section and a DIY Terrarium Bar that pairs glass containers with succulents, foliage, and decorative accents. - Outdoor plant inventory covers perennials, annuals, edibles, shrubs, and small trees, with a native-plant and pollinator emphasis rooted in the shop’s namesake passionflower; fall bulbs (tulip, narcissus, crocus, allium, amaryllis) and pottery round out the seasonal range. - Services extend beyond retail: garden design for small spaces through full landscapes, custom seasonal porch pots, and houseplant repotting. - The greenhouse hosts a regular events program — wreath-making classes, paint and sip nights, themed dinners, and an on-site farmers market — giving the shop a neighborhood-gathering character alongside the retail role. https://stlouisgardener.com/place/maypop-coffee-garden-shop-webster-groves fc8001f834f6a5f0561080d134d53d29 Sun, 24 May 2026 01:59:54 +0000 Houseplant & Botanical Boutiques **Overview** The Ground is a locally owned coffeehouse and plant shop operating out of a converted bungalow, blending a coffee-first café experience with an in-store selection of houseplants and gift items. Founded with the intent of giving Ballwin a neighborhood gathering spot, the shop brings together plant culture and specialty coffee under one roof. **What makes The Ground special?** The Ground leans into its hybrid identity in ways that go beyond simply shelving plants next to a coffee bar: - Proudly serves Park Avenue Coffee, a local St. Louis roaster, keeping the sourcing close to home - Sources baked goods from The Trolly Stop Bakery, another local partner, rounding out the café side - Plant-themed drinks — including a Monstera Mint latte — signal that plant culture runs through the menu, not just the shelves - The space carries a cottagecore aesthetic that regulars describe as charming and distinct from a standard café **What fellow gardeners are saying** - Visitors consistently describe the space as charming and cozy, with the bungalow setting adding to the atmosphere - The plant section draws guests who appreciate the combination, though most reviewers note the coffee is the primary draw https://stlouisgardener.com/place/ground-coffeehouse-plant-shop-ballwin 22ac3c5a5bf0b520d281c122d1490650 Sun, 24 May 2026 02:02:06 +0000 Houseplant & Botanical Boutiques
