Two Founders Rebuild with Plants | Los Angeles News

Two former hospitality execs and a burned-out horticulturist are turning rubble into roots at Monarch Nursery, a vibrant 4,000-square-foot garden hub on Lincoln Boulevard that’s become a community refuge for urban growers. Anton, who left distilling after the pandemic, and Jasper, who rebuilt after losing his home and business to fire, teamed up to create more than just a nursery—they’ve built a sanctuary where people find joy, resilience, and fresh produce in their own hands. With everything from drought-tolerant plants to personalized gardening advice, Monarch isn’t just selling greenery—it’s offering healing, connection, and a smart response to rising food costs.
