As many of you know, the UMaine students have headed home for the summer, which means small businesses in our area enter a slower season. 🌿
For locals, summer in Orono can feel peaceful and quiet — but for small businesses, it can also be a challenging time. Since we’ve been open, in 2019, we have watched many businesses close because of this slow season we are about to enter.
At Mainely Succulents, we want to be more than just a plant shop. We want to be a space where people in our community come to create, connect, learn, and grow — just like the plants we care for every day. 🪴✨ We’ve got lots of fun workshops and community events coming up this summer, and we’d love for you to help us spread the word by inviting your friends to like our page and keep an eye out for upcoming workshops & events—-Pottery, planting, painting & more!!
And yes… it’s rainy again today ☔️ which makes it the perfect day to stop in and add a little color to your life. We’ve got fresh flowers from Paint Box Flowers arriving every Thursday, plus lots of thriving houseplants, succulents, local & handmade made gifts, thrifted & vintage clothing and cozy shop vibes waiting for you.
Summer hours are still:
Thursday • Friday • Saturday
10 AM – 6 PM
Thank you for continuing to support small, local businesses like ours. It means everything!! 🙏🏻💚🌱
