Minimalist design, natural elements, and preserved industrial features
Each space is thoughtfully enhanced by interior plants and art pieces that combine to create a vibrant and inviting atmosphere. Meanwhile, the seasonal exterior botanicals provide a refreshing touch of nature that evolves throughout the year, adding dynamic beauty to the surroundings. The venue’s preserved industrial features complement its modern aesthetic, offering unique backdrops that seamlessly blend contemporary design with organic, natural elements.
About the Owners
The Plant is owned and operated by Travis and Ansley Crabtree, whose combined backgrounds in landscape architecture, urban planning, photography, and design shape every detail of the venue. Their shared work focuses on reconnecting people with nature in places where it’s often absent, especially in cities shaped by industry and sprawl.
Travis is a licensed landscape architect and urban planner whose projects prioritize ecological health, connectivity, and long-term resilience. Ansley is a creative director with a background in photography, branding, and communications focused on public space, nature conservation, community engagement, and placemaking.
Together, they transformed this former pipe distribution warehouse into a botanical venue rooted in biophilic design and community connection. Their mission is to show how forgotten spaces can be reimagined and how nature, when welcomed back into the built environment, can help people feel welcomed and inspired.
MODERN, FLEXIBLE SPACES
Our interior and exterior spaces offer flexible floor plans, allowing for creative designs and effortless arrangements. For wedding days, couples get access to the entire venue including getting ready spaces and extra holding space for the wedding party. Other event types have access to The Atrium & Courtyard, accommodating a variety of programming.
