About me:
My name is Blake Reimert. I own and operate The Neighborhood Plant Project. I am the sole owner and manager. I have a BSBA and I previously worked in Social Services for several years. I have had the opportunity to know my community and the needs of vulnerable adults through my previous work experience. Due to Covid, the community is suffering isolation, especially our vulnerable adult population. My plan is to offer a inclusive environment where like-minded people can come together in a creative atmosphere to shop, learn, explore, gift, and outreach. The Neighborhood Plant Project LLC offers beautiful, premium plants and accessories at affordable prices. I will offer retail and workshops in a creative and vibrant environment and show kindness, love, and acceptance through giving and spreading joy to vulnerable people in our community. Currently I offer products through online sales, pop up markets, farmers markets, and partnerships with business who own a brick and mortar. I have a significant social media presence for marketing. I plan to upgrade my website to attract a broader customer base by offering shipping and online services. I also offer stellar customer service for word of mouth advertising and repeat customers. My competitors will be small plant shops and big box store nurseries. My competitive advantage is purchasing from me, 20% of all sales goes toward the continued investment in the community and combating isolation and loneliness in our elderly, disabled, and homebound community members. I differ by providing a vibrant space for people to come together and shop, learn, drop off donations, exchange gifts, volunteer, and participate in a “plant library”.
