Pot & Box owner Lisa Waud, pictured in 2010, is expanding her flower and garden shop to Detroit.

An Ann Arbor flower and garden shop plans to bring some greenery to Detroit when it opens a store in Corktown this year, Curbed Detroit reports.

Lisa Waud of Pot & Box, located at 220 Felch St., is opening a flower shop in a long-vacant gas station on the corner of Michigan and 17th streets in Detroit. The expansion comes three years after Waud moved into the 900-square-foot space on Felch Street.

Waud and building landlord Andy Didorosi are planning a major renovation for the Detroit property, which will result in a flower shop with outdoor green space and a parking lot for events. First on the agenda: a Valentines Day market event with vendors from across Detroit.

Waud is hoping to officially open the flower shop near the end of the year, the report says.
