VENDOR SPOTLIGHT: NEIGHBORHOOD PLANTS

Neighborhood Plants will grow on you!

For many residents, Parkmerced is more than a place to live; it is a vibrant community that creates lasting memories.

Such is the case for Jason Chang. Parkmerced was once his second home as he attended SFSU. It was here that he forged life-long friendships, hanging out with friends who were living in the community at the time.

Now, Jason is back, this time as an entrepreneur. His Neighborhood Plants is a new addition to Block Party, the new name of The Market. A first-time vendor, Neighborhood Plants offers residents a wide selection of indoor houseplants, rare plants, and other botanical goods, including decorative pots to give your home a splash of color and the beauty of nature. The company also offers professional plant services.

“Though this will be my first time as a vendor, I am impressed by the effort Parkmerced puts into the Block Party, welcoming all,” says Jason. “I am grateful to be part of this effort and to help advance Parkmerced’s goal to create a community space that celebrates and values diversity and inclusion.”

Jason was drawn to the Block Party by the friendliness of the residents, the graciousness of the other vendors, and the sense of community that celebrates all that is good about life. He hopes that residents will take time to visit his space, ask questions about his many offerings and hopefully find a new plant for their home.

“It promises to be a day filled with delicious food, fun experiences, and tons of lush plants waiting for a new home. I am looking forward to it.”
