Mixed-use development Raleigh Iron Works is adding two new tenants to its lineup: a second location for local houseplant store Urban Pothos and Amelia’s Flowers, a Nashville-based florist.

Urban Pothos’ first location on Peace Street offers a lush space with a variety of plants and home gardening accessories like planters and gardening tools. The store also has a build-your-own soil bar with an array of planting mediums and recipes to make the perfect soil.

Amelia’s Flowers blossomed in 2016 and now has three brick-and-mortar stores and flower trucks driving through Music City. At these locations, you can make your own bouquet or choose from a variety of pre-made ones.

Both of these stores, and upcoming chic menswear store Beatniks, are expected to open before Raleigh Fashion Fest on Thursday, Oct. 19.

These retailers are joining a host of exciting businesses, like Eastcut Sandwiches, Andia’s Ice Cream, and the upcoming Brodeto, Jaguar Bolera, and Ponysaurus Brewing.
