Birch Tree Books & Plants Celebrates Grand Opening of New Location
Leesburg, VA (November 3, 2026) – A ribbon cutting was held Friday, October 30, to celebrate the grand opening of Birch Tree Books & Plants' new location.
Located at 9 W. Market Street, just next door to its previous location, the new space offers more room for books, plants and events.
Co-Owner Ami Mason said they signed the lease within one week. Renovations took about six weeks before the move was official.
“We couldn't have made this incredible jump to a new space without our devoted staff and incredible community,” Mason said. Over the 3-day moving period, almost 100 volunteers from the community helped move everything from one store to the next.
“Our old store had a tight bottleneck in the middle which made shopping difficult. We also lacked storage space,” she continued. “Now we have plenty of space which allows us to have seating throughout the store for people to take their time while they shop. We can also fit a lot more people for big events.”
Mason added that the Plant Clinic has also expanded, allowing for more plants and educational workshops. The new store is also at ground level, making it wheelchair and stroller accessible.
Birch Tree Books & Plants is a woman-owned independent bookstore and houseplant shop in historic downtown Leesburg. The locally rooted small business combines curated books, indoor plants and community events in one space.
