Seattle, we’re coming for you!

One week before Thanksgiving and just a few weeks before holiday madness, we’re making a quick stop in one of our favorite cities to say hello. We’re very excited to see you, Seattle.

Stop by our pop-up in Capitol Hill to meet our plant and pot sets in real life and chat all things indoor greenery with our plant stylists. We’ll be hosting plant matchmaking, offering special pop-up promotions, and of course, answering all your burning plant questions.

We’ve heard it can get a bit dreary this time of year in Seattle — come get your dose of nature and find the perfect plant that will get you through winter!

Didn’t get around to spring cleaning? It’s not too late! With summer just around the corner, now is a great time to give your home a little refresh, add some lush greenery to the scene, and prep for any summer hosting you have planned.

And for just this reason, we’ll be setting up shop at West Elm for the weekend, making your home decor needs a total breeze. Our plant stylists will be onsite and ready to help you put the finishing touches on your new style and create the plant goals of your dreams.

In the meantime, take advantage of these gorgeous plant moments straight out of West Elm’s spring and summer catalogues as inspiration. Make yourself a refreshing cocktail, have a seat in your living room, and imagine the possibilities!

Come see us at West Elm!

For one weekend only, Léon & George will be popping up in both Northern and Southern California at West Elm Pasadena and West Elm Palo Alto! Add the finishing touch to your new style with fresh live greenery, paired with the perfect ceramic pot and comfortably delivered to your home (perhaps right next to that new West Elm chair you’ve been eyeing!). Hope to see you there!

A new educational series setting out to demystify the most illusive secrets of how plants live and love. Plants are living beings, just like us—and there's nothing secretive about them! They actually make their needs known in very overt ways. Spend an interactive evening in our urban greenhouse and we guarantee you'll learn something new. Space is limited so reserve your spot early!

PART I: PLANTS ARE JUST LIKE US - RSVP
Thursday, September 27, 7pm-8:15pm 
You might think your houseplant is just an inanimate object sitting in the corner… but it's truly living and breathing! At this series premiere, we’ll explore how plant behavior and survival mimics our own, and how we're not so different after all. Participate in a mini-propagation activity and take home a new plant baby of your own!

PART II: SUPERNATURAL PLANT STORIES - RSVP
Thursday, October 25, 7pm-8:15pm 
Plants communicate with the world around them to accomplish some supernatural, superpowered stuff. Come hear the most outlandish plant stories—the good, the bad, and the spooky!

PART III: PLANTS & PEOPLE BELONG TOGETHER - RSVP
Thursday, November 15, 7pm-8:15pm 
Take care of your houseplants, and they'll return the favor. Your plants can help you breathe better, feel better, and live better. We'll explore the many reasons we're thankful for the way plants enrich our lives (and spruce up our style).
