Adopt-A-Plant Chica Movement

Adopt-A-Plant began in 2018 as a small giveaway at Sandra’s home, an effort to clear out her less popular plants. That first try was a bumpy one, but once she moved it to the shop, it grew into The Plant Chica’s biggest event. Today, the greenhouse gives away 2,000 house plants twice a year, and it’s free, with no tickets required.

The Mission Continues..

The giveaway is open to anyone, especially neighbors who don’t have a plant or the extra income to green their space. Sandra says many guests have never had a plant at home, and once they take one, they become plant people, and some go on to advocate for more green space. Local greenhouses donate some of the plants, and The Plant Chica pays for the rest, about $2,500 from its marketing budget. The most recent giveaway was held on Saturday, April 25, 2026, from 11 AM to 4 PM, alongside the 2nd annual Leimert Park Earth Day Festival
