HELP HOT PLANTS HAVE A NEW HOOP HOUSE POST MEGA SNOW MALAISE
Donation protected
If you're seeing this you probably already know, but all the same hey hi Hot Plants is a 'practical' plant nursery in New Orleans that grows mostly herbs and vegetables on site for home gardeners, farmers, apothecarians, erstwhile hobbyists and whomsoever else likes to grow plants that do things. In operation since 2018, this business has never been booming (I still have to work plenty elsewhere to make it do, practical plants are not like, magical market commodities), but it HAS always run in the black. This past year is the first that we operated at a loss (meaning I, Ian, lost $6000 total to make hot plants exist this year, instead of making any money at all). That was fine. But then the freeze happened, and my sturdy lil hoophouse that has moved around this city four times since 2014, collapsed under the weight of the snow during our beautiful little blizzard last week, and that was a huge bummer for Hot Plants. And myself. And my money sucks in life in general right now, and i want to keep Hot Plants alive and WILL regardless through at least 2025. But. it's pretty rough stuff at the moment. If you're at all able to help me get a new hoophouse and balance out other startup costs for this spring season just a bit, I have full faith that Hot Plants will remain a stalwart vessel for many a New Orleans season to come, so long as there is still a New Orleans to have seasons in, or a world to have New Orleans in.
