Happy Small Business Week, Sacramento. We know small businesses are the heart of our community, so earlier this year, we asked local small businesses to tell us about themselves. They delivered.

We’ll be shining the spotlight on a few of Sac’s small businesses this month, starting with Hella Leaf, a local plant business owned by Leah Anderson specializing in succulent arrangements. You can find Hella Leaf at the Midtown Farmers Market every Saturday and leading fun workshops around town.

Here’s a little more info, straight from the biz itself:
