Learn to create a custom-sized moss pole perfect for any vining tropical plant! A Lepley & Co. team member will guide you through the ins and outs of how to create a moss pole, semi-repotting a plant to incorporate a moss pole, and how to create a happy living space for your plant to thrive and climb! In addition to your moss pole, you’ll also go home with a Lepley & Co. vining plant and a spray bottle.

Adults and children ages 8 and older are invited to join the Lepley & Co. team at MassMu on Sunday, August 18, from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m.! Register via Eventbrite or by calling 330-833-4061.

📸Team Spotlight: Shaniah (she/they)📸

Shaniah is the market & event coordinator at our Akron Northside Marketplace location! She’s an OG Lepley & Co. fan, supporting since the plant stand in Justin’s yard. She lives in Akron with her husband Vincent, their two dogs, Boston & Adonis, and three cats. Outside of work, you can find them tending to their huge plant collection (their fav is philo micans), crocheting, or experimenting with photography. She also loves hiking, especially at the Nature Realm, and volunteering with orgs like Torchbearers and the Akron Zoo’s P.A.W. If you see Shaniah at Northside or at a Pop-up Market around town, be sure to tell them hello!

As Pride Month comes to a close, we at Lepley & Co. want to take a moment to reflect on what Pride means to us and why it shapes everything we do. Simply put, Pride is who we are. Lepley & Co. is not just a plant and florist shop; it’s a Safe Space where we invite our team, customers, and even strangers to be their authentic selves—on good days, tough days, and messy days alike.

The Pride movement began as a fight against a system that oppressed and targeted the LGBTQ community, oppression that still exists today. While big corporations might change their logos for June or introduce new initiatives only to retreat at the first sign of opposition, we remain steadfast. As a queer-owned business with a diverse and inclusive team, LGBTQ issues are integral to our core, and we stand by our community 365 days a year.

These are indeed challenging times for much of our community. With alarming legislation passing across the country and here in Ohio, there is much to be vigilant about. Yet, our hearts are filled with hope, thanks to the supportive community, business partners, and countless organizations and nonprofits tirelessly defending the right to exist authentically every day.

We were honored to once again be Silver Sponsors of the Stark Pride Festival in the county where I grew up. We are proud members of the Plexus LGBT and Allied Chamber of Commerce, and we aim to use our platform to amplify the voices moving the conversation forward.

To our friends, customers, and anyone needing a safe place to be who they are, our doors are always open. You are welcome here.

Lots of love, and always with Pride 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Justin Lepley 💖🌿

🩷 BIGGEST OF THANK YOUS to everyone who chose Lepley & Co. for their Mothers Day flowers! 🌸

Fresh Grab & Go florals have been restocked 💐

Order custom arrangements by calling 330-808-8490 (option 1) or online at LepleyAndCo.com 🌸

We understand that convenience sometimes leads people to larger online retailers, but we urge you to reconsider. When you order from platforms like 1-800 Flowers, you’re not just getting flowers – you’re unwittingly supporting a system that takes as much as 40% of your money, leaving local shops with mere pennies to fulfill your order. These order gatherers use their market share to undercut local florists, making promises they can’t keep and ultimately undermining the integrity of the whole industry.

This Mother’s Day, let’s show our moms just how much they mean to us by showering them with love and supporting our local small business community. Whether you choose Lepley & Co. or another local florist, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for choosing to make a difference.
