Babygreens originally opened in Downtown Bellingham in April 2018, started by Owner Nick Meza after a lifetime of appreciating what plants can do for a home.
“Plants have always been a really great passion and hobby of mine,” he says. “[I love] plants from all perspectives; keeping them alive and caring for them, designing spaces with them, generally appreciating all they do.”

This passion and a desire to be a small business owner are what combined to become Babygreens, which brightened the corner of Chestnut and Cornwall until fall of this past year. Now, Babygreens has opened up in a shop twice the size of its old location in beautiful Fairhaven.
Meza says after having lived 11 years in Bellingham, he has love for Downtown Bellingham and Fairhaven, and hopes the move will allow growth for his business while sustaining the community they’ve built for themselves at the old shop.

“At our downtown location, truly the majority of our customers were destination based customers … who made it a trip to come and see us,” he says. “I’ve noticed tons and tons of our regular customers coming to see us [in the new location], which has been awesome.”
With customers both new and old and a lot more space to work with, Meza is excited to keep supplying locals with all their indoor plant needs, as well as some carefully curated home and wellness products.
