Tour an Artsy Atlanta Home Full of Houseplants and Botanicals

Cary Smith, left, and Libby Hockenberry, right, opened their plant store the Victorian Atlanta in 2017 and moved into new quarters earlier this year. Libby’s parents sparked her love for plants from a young age, and it’s a love she and Cary continue to cultivate together as they’ve collected hundreds of plants to decorate their home. “My parents were huge gardeners when I was little, and we were always out working in the yard,” Libby says. When she went off to college, her mom sent her away with cuttings from her houseplants, which Libby says were very comforting for her to have around. Now, she and Cary are instilling that love in countless others who come to them for advice on fostering their own plant-filled homes.
