A plant boutique featured in the latest season of Netflix’s “Love is Blind” has announced its second location in Crystal City.
The D.C.-based shop, PLNTR — whose Dupont Circle location hosted the now-separated reality TV couple Monica Davis and Stephen Richardson — offers plant retail and a host of green thumb activities.
