Meet the Owner: Jose Harvey of Urban Pothos
Meet Jose Harvey, the owner and founder of Urban Pothos. From a young age, Jose felt a deep connection to plants, whether it was nurturing them at home, picking cucumbers for his first job, or studying agricultural development at NC State University. Jose eventually found his true calling after switching careers from travel writing in 2020. While searching for his next path in life, he rekindled his passion for agriculture and opened Urban Pothos, a place where everyone and every plant is welcome.
Welcome to The Jungle
When you visit Urban Pothos, you’ll immediately feel like you’re among friends. Jose values building genuine relationships with every customer, whether it’s your first visit or your hundredth. He doesn’t expect everyone to leave with a plant, but he’s always there to help when you’re ready.
Urban Pothos feels like stepping into a thoughtfully curated jungle. Filled with both popular varieties and rare, hard-to-find plants, you’re sure to discover the perfect one that takes root in your heart. Jose takes pride in this lush selection and lovingly refers to it as a jungle you can take home.
Opportunities to Grow
At Urban Pothos, there’s no such thing as a black thumb, only green thumbs in the making. With a background in agriculture, Jose firmly believes that a connection to plants is something innately human. All it takes is a little education and guidance to help anyone care for their plant friends. Check out their workshop and events!
By listening to customers and sharing his extensive plant knowledge, Jose hosts a variety of workshops and classes designed to empower the community. From gardening and planters to terrarium building, there is something for every level of plant enthusiast.
With the support of Urban Pothos, anyone can grow their own green thumb.
A Safe Haven for Plants and Customers
Plants play a vital role in enhancing both our surroundings and our overall quality of life. Just as important is creating a space that supports mental health and well-being. Caring for houseplants offers a meaningful outlet, providing the perfect opportunity to redirect energy and focus into something nurturing and rewarding.
Urban Pothos is also proud of its community outreach and workshops that help foster lasting connections with customers. The care they pour into growing their community is reflected in the same attention they give to helping plants thrive.
