Succulence

Succulence is a creative partnership between Ken and Amy Shelf and the rest of the world. Many people, past and present, have contributed to shaping the store into its current form, and many more people will hopefully continue to shape it into something that is always growing and changing. 

Succulence was born when the Shelves (Ken and Amy) were shepherding their video store, Four Star Video, into eternity and wondering how to fill their space at 402 Cortland. Their good friend and mentor, Darcy Lee (of the wonderful neighborhood store, Heartfelt suggested they sell succulent plants in their back patio. After Amy came up with the idea to name the store after the richness of life, their philosophy collided with their venture to form succulence: life and garden.
