The Shop

The Makoré tree is native to West Africa and known for its impressive height and exceptionally strong, durable wood. It reflects the qualities at the heart of Makoré Plant Shop—natural beauty, resilience and a lasting presence. Like its namesake, Makoré brings strength, character and the enduring beauty of plants into everyday spaces.

How it Started.

Makoré, was founded as a reaction to an explosion of online plant stores and sales apps offering an even larger variety of tropical and rare plants. We wanted a store that offered a calm, and quiet alternative to the rushed, pressured, shopping experience created to upsell you at every turn. We wanted a store grounded in old world craft, grounded in science, and managed with plant health care best practices. We wanted to show our community beautiful plants, elegant planters, and a supportive plant culture no matter how far along you are in your plant journey.

What We Crave.

Most of all we craved design forward, plant forward, calm spaces. This is how our vision, to make every space calmer and more beautiful with living plants, was born.

Our Experience Matters.

Our extensive experience sourcing, monitoring and creating both indoor and outdoor landscapes across the United States and locally in the Charlotte, NC metro-area gives our small shop an edge. ISA Urban Forest Professional, ISA Certified Arborist and Certified Horticulturist on staff.
