Downtown Antioch has something new growing!

The Lemon Tree, located at 314 G Street in Antioch’s historic, downtown Rivertown, is excited to introduce Too Much Pretty, a boutique-style plant and home décor shopping experience now open inside The Lemon Tree.

At the heart of Too Much Pretty is a love for plants. From beautiful houseplants and succulents to greenery that brings a little life into any room, the boutique offers a thoughtfully selected collection for both experienced plant lovers and those just beginning their plant journey.

But there’s a little more to discover! Shoppers will also find an assortment of gently loved home décor, decorative accents, and unique finds. It’s a little bit of this, a little bit of that, and, of course, a whole lot of pretty.

Created by The Lemon Tree founder Nicole Holmes, Too Much Pretty is an extension of her vision to continue bringing unique experiences, shopping opportunities, and community connections to downtown Antioch.

“We wanted to create a space where people could stop in, browse, discover something special, and maybe take home a new plant or something pretty for their home. The plants are really at the heart of it. There’s something special about bringing a little greenery into your space,” said Holmes.

Designed as an intimate, boutique-style shopping experience, Too Much Pretty offers a welcoming place to explore, find a new favorite plant, and enjoy a little retail therapy right here in Rivertown.

So, Antioch, if you’ve been looking for a new plant to bring home, a little something to refresh your space, or simply an excuse to stop and shop local, there’s a new place waiting for you.

Too Much Pretty is now open inside The Lemon Tree at 314 G Street in downtown Antioch.

Shopping hours are Tuesday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
