Wellness at Casa de Luz East

Ivy League Botany Plant Shop

Born from a deep love for plants, kitchen chemistry, and movement, Ivy League Botany Club is a passion project turned plant boutique. Fueled by a desire to foster creativity, connection, and maybe even a touch of Magic School Bus energy, this small business is all about exploration, growth, and collaboration.

Now located at Casa de Luz East, Ivy League specializes in tropical indoor plants, succulents, and small cacti, along with handmade, botanically inspired goods like plant-dyed wool, vegan soap, and homegrown loofah sponges.

Founded by an Austin native and self-proclaimed “mad botanist,” Ivy League Botany Club is more than a shop—it’s a playground of curiosity and leafy bliss. With a strong belief in community and collaboration, this growing business seeks to connect with local artists, makers, and plant lovers to create and thrive together.

Come visit Ivy League Botany Club at Casa de Luz East, where plants, people, and creativity come to life. 🌿✨
