If you’re looking to liven your home with plant life, Luna Gifts & Botanicals in the Oregon District of downtown Dayton is a great place to start.

Luna is a home good store that sells plant life, bouquets, gifts, and more. It is located at 261 Wayne Ave, Dayton. The shop offers over 100 types of indoor house plants, said Carly Barrett, 34, one of Luna’s owners.

It also offers a variety of gifts and other non-plant decorations. “If you’re looking for something for yourself or for someone else, [Luna] is a good place to come to,” Barrett said. “We have something for everybody.”

The store’s plant catalog changes weekly. It typically includes a wide variety of succulents and cacti which are some of their most popular plants, according to Barrett.

If you’re new to caring for plant life, don’t worry – Luna sells plants for you. Their ZZ plants and snake plants require low lighting and don’t need watered often, Barrett said. “They’re very forgiving.”

Barrett said she enjoys being located in the Oregon District, which she described as “like a little community”. The staff of neighborhood stores “see each other on a daily basis,” she said. “We are all very supportive and want to help each other.”

Luna is one of three “sister shops” in the Oregon district, along with Heart Mercantile, a boutique, and Hedges & Wolf, a clothing store, according to Brittany Danielle Smith, an owner of Luna. The stores are owned between a group of six longtime friends who attended school and live in the Dayton area, according to Luna’s website.

The store is open Monday to Friday 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m.

The store will celebrate its second-year anniversary this Saturday. On Friday, they will sell free sprigs with a $25 purchase; on Saturday, customers will have the opportunity to play spin the wheel for a chance to win free products and discounts; Sunday there will be a ten percent sale on all items, according to Luna’s Facebook page. Double stamps and coupons will be available all weekend.
