Nestled in the heart of Leimert Park,  Plant Chica specializes in wish list plants—those rare and unique finds that often only thrive in warm climates or aren’t typically sold in stores. The shop is owned by Sandra Mejia and her family and has grown with the help of a dedicated teamand the incredible community they serve. 

Raised in South Central LA by Salvadoran immigrant parents, Sandra spent her childhood helping her mom pick out flowers and plants for the church where her father was a pastor. Her love for plants bloomed early, passed down from her mother. Over time, Sandra saw the joy they brought to others. Plants, for her, have always symbolized family, and she dreamed of turning her passion into a family business. That dream is now a reality.

Follow along as we get to know Sandra and her passion for her community.
