A brand-new plant shop in Union County is offering more than just greenery — it's bringing creativity to the community.

Behind the Vine held its grand opening in September. The shop offers a variety of houseplants as well as terrarium and paint-and-pot classes. Owners say you don't need a green thumb — just an open mind to learn about plants and create something unique.

Co-owner Sue Ann Suarez says, "A lot of people like to come together creatively and do something they can take home and remember. It's like a shared memory and you get to meet a lot of new people."

Sessions are offered several times a week, or you can book the space for a party.
