    SHOPKEEPER SPOTLIGHT

    Sometimes a temporary idea puts down permanent roots. In Reno, Nevada, Samantha Stremmel’s indoor plant shop began as a warehouse pop-up and became a place to stay.

    Sam and her husband, Sutter, started with an outdoor water garden nursery along the Truckee River in 2010. After nearly eight years, they shifted directions, with Sam opening the indoor shop and Sutter focusing on their other business, The Wedge Ceramics Studio.

    Today, Sierra Water brings together indoor plants and gifts for the home and garden, including pots made by local ceramic artists at The Wedge. It’s a lovely connection between the people who make things and the spaces where those things find a home.
