If you’ve ever visited Botanical Dwellings, you know the feeling—stepping into a space where plants, creativity, and design come together in the most refreshing way. Owned by Culpeper entrepreneurs Tabatha and Eric Fulton, this modern home décor and plant shop has become a destination for anyone looking to bring life, beauty, and personality into their everyday surroundings.
Tabatha’s journey into the world of plants began while she worked in marketing and merchandising for a local nursery and event venue. It was there that she discovered her talent for blending greenery with décor in ways that transform ordinary rooms into uplifting, “living” spaces. That discovery eventually sparked a leap of faith: in 2021, she launched Botanical Dwellings, giving herself the creative freedom to design a shop that inspires others to style their homes with confidence and joy.
Over the last few years, the shop has blossomed into a community favorite. After spending three years on Main Street, Botanical Dwellings moved to a larger location on East Davis Street, offering the team more room to dream, grow, and expand their highly sought-after workshops. Today, the shop is a bright, welcoming oasis filled with plants, décor, textures, unique finds, and helpful guidance from a team genuinely invested in helping customers thrive as plant parents. As Botanical Dwellings continues to grow, one thing remains at the heart of their success: the people behind it. Tabatha is quick to emphasize that the shop’s warm, knowledgeable experience is a team effort. “I couldn’t do what we do at Botanical Dwellings or provide the level of service our clients have grown to expect without the team supporting the business every step of the way,” she shared.
While plants are at the heart of Botanical Dwellings, the experience goes far beyond greenery. Their selection of houseplants is thoughtfully curated, from easygoing staples like pothos, spider plants, ZZs, and succulents to plant-lover favorites like monstera deliciosa and adansonii, maranta lemon, and the striking calathea lancifolia. Each plant is paired with personalized advice to ensure it fits the customer’s light, lifestyle, and skill level. Tabatha and her team always aim to send customers home with not just a plant they love, but the confidence to keep it healthy.
Every plant needs the right home, which is why their shelves are lined with an array of planters and accessories to match any style. You’ll find everything from simple cover pots to terrariums, hanging planters, wall planters, propagation tools, moss poles, trellises, and carefully selected plant stands that double as décor pieces. The shop’s attention to detail makes it easy to bring home a complete setup—plant, pot, and the tools needed to help it thrive.
Botanical Dwellings is also a beautiful source for home décor that complements their plant-forward aesthetic. Candles, throws, pillows, baskets, and decorative accents fill the shop with warmth, while books on design, cooking, and plant care make thoughtful additions to any coffee table. Their curated botanicals, lighting, rugs, and eclectic mix of furniture add texture and charm to every corner, including their signature brass pieces that customers have come to adore.
Beyond the home, Botanical Dwellings has become a go-to spot for gift giving and personal treats. Their lifestyle offerings include jewelry, hair accessories, hats, apparel, puzzles, stationery, and bags; items that bring creativity and comfort into daily life. Their kitchen and entertaining selection features stylish serveware, drinkware, linens, and consumables perfect for hosting or gifting.
And for those seeking a moment of calm, their self-care shelves are filled with small luxuries, from bath and shower products to body care, stress relief items, and wellness essentials that encourage you to slow down and simply breathe.
One of the most special parts of the Botanical Dwellings experience is their calendar of workshops and events. Over the years, the team has hosted a wide variety of hands-on sessions, including harvest wreaths, air plant terrariums, houseplant propagation, succulent crescent moons, lavender wreaths, holiday tree décor kits, flower crowns, dried botanical arrangements, and even seasonal favorites like succulent pumpkins. They’ve also offered yoga series and creative gatherings that bring the community together in fun, welcoming ways. With their new, expanded Davis Street space, the possibilities for future workshops are only growing.
Visitors can also enjoy perks like a customer rewards program, earning a point for every dollar spent, with every 300 points earning $20 back. Gift cards and holiday gift boxes make giving the Botanical Dwellings experience easy and memorable.
Botanical Dwellings is far more than a shop. It’s a place built with passion, intention, and a genuine love of helping people feel good about their spaces. Tabatha, store manager MacKenzie, and their team have become familiar faces in Downtown Culpeper, contributing to a vibrant community and helping people discover how plants and thoughtful décor can transform a home.
Whether you’re searching for your next houseplant, refreshing a room, looking for the perfect gift, or wanting to learn something new at a workshop, Botanical Dwellings offers inspiration at every turn.
