About Us
IvyMay & Co is a family-owned and operated eco-conscious company based in San Marcos, California. Owned and operated by the two brothers, Simon and Connor Shaw, IvyMay is driven by a shared passion for houseplants, sustainability, and exceptional customer service. With backgrounds in business, horticulture, and sociology, they combine their diverse expertise to offer top-quality products that support both plant enthusiasts and the planet.
Founded in June 2020 during California's stay-at-home order, IvyMay began with a simple mission: to bring joy and mental wellness to our community through houseplants, offering free local delivery. By August 2024, Simon and Connor took over the company, guiding its growth and expanding its reach.
Over the years, IvyMay has gained local and national recognition, with features in news articles and television segments. As we built our brand, we also began serving commercial clients, providing in-store styling and branded content services.
As our business grew, we noticed a gap in sustainable and renewable options within the industry. Determined to make a positive impact, we began working with experts to explore greener solutions for our products and practices. This led to a major shift in our business model: in 2022, we made the decision to discontinue live plant sales and focus entirely on creating more sustainable, plant-related products.
Today, IvyMay & Co. continues to evolve, combining our team's expertise and passion to offer modern, eco-friendly products designed for the modern plant parent. Our commitment to sustainability and quality remains at the heart of everything we do.
