Our second feature for the PEOPLE OF PROXY series is with Ngoc Luong, the owner and founder of , a local mom-and-pop shop curating a selection of rare and unique plants, pots, and San Francisco-themed gifts.

Cassiopea McDonald, PROXY's Program Director, interviewed Ngoc to hear more about how they got started, growing a business during the pandemic, and her experience at PROXY.

“We’ve built such a great space here together for people, especially during COVID when people needed outdoor space to unite. PROXY is holding movie nights, LUXFit with fitness, us with plants, and the coffee and juice shops.
It's a communal space, and if it does go away, it will be deeply missed. It’s a place for people to come out and take a break from working from home or indoors… Many people don’t have outdoor space, and we like to think people see us as their backyard….
I see a lot of families come here, young folks come here, kinda all walks of life. It’s just a great community!” - Ngoc Luong

Read the full interview at the link in the bio, and stop into TERRAVITA today! Say hi to Ngoc and her team, trade plant clippings, play chess, and shop their beautiful selection. Wednesday - Saturday 10 AM-6 PM, Sundays 10 AM-5 PM

PEOPLE OF PROXY: MaryMar Keenan,

“The MMclay Airstream is perfectly situated in a way that really tells a story, and the way PROXY is set up for us to be here is very inviting. You can feel the sense of space and community in this neighborhood…. That really goes along with what my business is. Making handmade pottery is all about community, whether you realize it or not. It’s about eating and drinking together, creating this ritual for yourself, in your home or in a restaurant.“ - MaryMar Keenan
