Award-Winning Worcester Plant Business Returns to the City Centre with Chapel Walk Opening.
An award-winning Worcester independent business has officially returned to the city centre with the opening of its new store in Chapel Walk Worcester.
Plantamamita, known for its specialist indoor plants, botanical styling and immersive workshops, has made a phenomenal start since opening the doors to its beautifully designed new unit, attracting strong interest both online and from visitors to the centre.
The business was previously based within Worcester city centre before relocating to larger premises on London Road, where it continued to grow a loyal customer base and expand its offering. The new Chapel Walk opening now gives Plantamamita a renewed city centre presence alongside its established London Road location.
Adding to the excitement surrounding the opening, Plantamamita has also recently been recognised at the prestigious RHS Malvern Spring Festival, where the business was awarded a 4 Star Trade stand Award — highlighting the quality, creativity and presentation that has helped make the business so popular across Worcestershire.
The opening follows the successful relocation of long-standing independent retailer Knit N Stuff, which recently moved from its Chapel Walk unit into a larger premises in Friary Walk after outgrowing its original location due to continued success and customer demand.
The move created the opportunity for Plantamamita to return to the city centre and bring its distinctive plant-focused retail experience into Chapel Walk.
Mike Lloyd, Centre Manager at Chapel & Friary Walk Worcester, said:
“We are absolutely delighted to welcome Plantamamita to Chapel Walk Worcester. The response from visitors has already been fantastic and the shop itself looks absolutely stunning. 
It is especially positive to see successful independent businesses continuing to invest in Worcester. Knit N Stuff’s move into a larger unit in Friary Walk is a brilliant example of growth within the centre, and it has allowed another established Worcester business to return to the city centre with an exciting new presence in Chapel Walk.
The recent recognition at RHS Malvern Spring Festival also highlights the passion, creativity and quality behind the business, and we are excited to see Plantamamita continue to grow within the city centre.”
Liuva Chacon, Owner of Plantamamita, said:
“We are incredibly grateful for all the opportunities coming our way. As an independent family-run business, we approach every opportunity with hard work, determination and a genuine passion for what we do — something that originally started in a garden shed during lockdown.
None of this would be possible without the amazing support we have received from the Worcester community.
The success we experienced at the RHS Malvern Spring Festival has also resulted in an invitation from the RHS to appear at the Badminton Flower Show in July, where we will be creating a gazebo-style ‘Houseplant Extravaganza’.
Alongside our new Chapel Walk store, we will continue trading at markets across the Five Counties and keep growing the business we love. We can’t wait to welcome everyone in.”
Plantamamita arrival continues the ongoing evolution of Chapel & Friary Walk Worcester, with a growing mix of independent retailers, national brands and experience-led businesses helping strengthen Worcester’s retail and leisure offering.
Visitors are encouraged to pop in, explore the new store and discover more about the workshops and immersive experiences planned by the Plantamamita team.
