I'm Sam and this is my plant shop, Grounded in Salicy.
00:03
Brilliant. Tell me a little bit about the shop and I understand you've been,
00:09
you're up for an award for a muddy stiletto.
00:11
Yeah, so the shop is relatively new. We've been here for about 18 months now
00:15
and we are at the heart of Marmion Road. We love being here. It's just the most
00:20
wonderful place to be. We've been embraced by the community and I think people feel that this is a
00:26
safe, happy, calm place to be. So we're very lucky to be very busy and we're super excited to be
00:32
nominated for an award. We did win an award for being Portsmouth screen this business last year,
00:38
so this is the second award we've been nominated for and I'm just so excited because it's voted
00:43
for by our customers, by the people that come into the shop each day. Tell me what it would mean to
00:49
win the category. We would love to win. We would absolutely love to win. I think it's been, before
00:54
I had the shop, I was working on the market selling the plants for the last few years. So
00:58
I've worked really hard to get where I am. I'm super lucky to have supportive family and friends
01:04
and people that work with me and I think it would be a recognition of all that hard work and again,
01:10
as it's voted for by the public, by the people that come into the shop, that's what means the most to us.
01:15
Brilliant and tell me what makes the business so special?
01:17
I think we specialise in easy to care for house plants. People have busy lives and don't want
01:25
something that's going to make their, green up their space without it being too much hard work
01:29
and we're passionate about what we do. We make lots of the products ourselves, so we make the cork pots.
01:35
My mum makes the cork pots, my brother makes the wooden signs, my colleague Zoe makes the macrami,
01:39
I make the wax mounts. So there are lots of things in store that make us different from everybody else,
01:43
as well as having a huge variety of plants that we squeeze into a very small space.
01:48
So tell me how people can vote for you.
01:50
So we are in the Muddy Stilettos Award for Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. We're in the top five
01:54
in the florist category because that includes plant shops. You can go to the Muddy Stilettos
01:59
website to find information about how to vote or you can look on my Instagram page.
02:05
And also, just to let you know, we are also really happy to say that we have just signed a new
02:10
five-year contract for the premises. So we're going to be at 104 Marmee Road for at least the next five years.
