Grow for Good 417, LLC was started in 2021 focusing on plants and plant education. Growing up in rural Missouri to a family of educators, we did not have a lot of money. Each season our family grew our own produce. Farming with my father taught me an understanding of plants. Volunteering with my mom and grandmother at plant-related events played a role in my plant education. In college, I was the

guy with all the plants. Many of my classes were focused on botany, leading me to a degree in biology, and I am currently a professor of biology at a local college. These experiences all culminated in a lifelong passion for plants and sharing them with others. My ‘Pandemic Project’ was to build a greenhouse, providing the perfect opportunity to start a plant business in 2021. Grow For Good 417 creates Garden Art pieces. We find unique containers at flea markets and thrift stores to repurpose and pair with the perfect plant, creating a piece of art that our customers proudly display in their home or office! We work with local businesses to throw Plant pARTy classes and pass along the knowledge I have received to future green thumbs. People have fun, learn about plants, get together with friends, and create their own pieces of Garden Art. What is the meaning of our name? GROW- Plants
FOR GOOD- We donate plants to nonprofits and participate in area fundraising events ($3,172 in 2022 so far)
417- Local area code of the business. Keeping it local and making a difference in our community

It is an ALL HANDS ON DECK kind of Saturday! 🪴🎪

​We have a massive weekend ahead, and the team is splitting up to be everywhere at once this Saturday, June 6th! Note our special late opening time for the main shop so Brenda can get everything set up.

​Here is where you can find us:

​☀️ Saturday Lineup:

​Ethan is hanging out at the C-Street City Market for the C-Street Flower Stroll! 🌸

I will be at the 5th Annual Pickwick Street Fair in Rountree! 🛍️

​Brenda is holding down the fort at the main shop at Metro Eats! (Opening LATE: 12 to 6)! 🏪

​🪴 Sunday Hours:

If you miss the madness on Saturday, the main shop is open Sunday from 10 to 2. Come recover from the weekend with some peaceful plant shopping.

​🎭 Little Shop of Horrors Update:

To top it all off High Tide Theatrical's production of Little Shop of Horrors is officially SOLD OUT all weekend long!

A moment of silence for the plant I totally forgot about... 💀🌿

​Confession time: I found this snake plant in a corner of the greenhouse where it hasn’t seen a drop of water in months.

​The leaves are curled, but after a deep soak today, it will bounce back perfectly. Snake plants are absolute tanks.

​Let this be your reminder: DO NOT OVERWATER YOUR PLANTS! 🛑

​Loving your plants too much with the watering can is the number one cause of plant death. They do not all need water every single week. When in doubt, let it dry out! Your plants can recover from being dry, but they cannot recover from root rot.

Look at this throwback! My, how we’ve grown... 🥹🌱

​Did you know that Grow For Good 417 actually got its start at the very first Pickwick Street Fair?! Looking back at our original booth, we have learned so much. For one, we’ve learned how to take way better pictures.

​Fast forward to today, and we are officially the legacy houseplant vendor for the Rountree neighborhood. We are so incredibly excited to be heading back this Saturday, June 6th, for the fifth annual Pickwick Street Fair!

​When you are out strolling the fair this weekend, we are absolutely your go-to destination for all things green. Accept no substitutes! We’ll be fully loaded with our signature custom Dirt Bags, Shine & Shield, and a massive jungle of gorgeous plants we’ve been hoarding just for this event.

​Come see us, check out how far we’ve come since year one, and let's celebrate five years of greening up Springfield together!

​⏰ When: Saturday, June 6th

📍 Where: Pickwick Street Fair (Historic Rountree Neighborhood)
