Aura Plant Studio
Aura Plant Studio, founded by Cantrece Jones in 2022, is more than just a plant shop; it is a sanctuary. Located in the heart of Jacksonville, it offers a curated selection of indoor plants, pots, and plant care essentials, providing inspiration and resources for plant enthusiasts of all levels.
For Cantrece, plants are deeply personal. Her journey into horticulture began as her way to cope with the devastating loss of her father. Amid the grief, tending to plants became a therapeutic outlet, helping her find solace and healing by caring for something alive. This passion not only transformed her life but also became a way to honor her father’s memory.
The studio’s name, "Aura," reflects Cantrece’s belief in the calming and restorative energy that plants bring into any space. It also symbolizes the positive impact her father had on her life and the way his spirit continues to inspire her every day.
Aura Plant Studio has quickly become a beloved space in the community, hosting plant care workshops, and private events, and offering a serene environment where people can explore the joys of urban gardening. Cantrece’s mission is to share the healing power of plants with others and to inspire her customers to create their green havens, no matter the size of their space.
Through Aura Plant Studio, Cantrece has turned her healing journey into a thriving business that uplifts and connects the community, proving that loss can grow beauty, resilience, and hope.
