Additional Information
The website includes pages for jewelry, services, the cat rescue partnership, contact information, and gift cards, along with a jewelry collection that can be browsed and purchased online. The business combines retail (plants, jewelry, and homewares) with community-oriented offerings such as event space and adoptable cats through its partnership with Nashville Cat Rescue.
According to the website, plants sold at the shop are grown at the owner’s family-run greenhouse in Kentucky, which the company also draws on for its design partnerships and bulk plant purchases. The handmade jewelry, crafted by the founder, is offered in customizable styles, reflecting Tana Smith’s background as a working jeweler. The site presents Hoop House as more than a retail store, describing it as a “common space” oriented around community and the idea of a place “where anyone can flourish,” and tying together the founders’ interest in plants, animals, and people under the theme of “nurturing life in all its forms.” The company operates two Nashville storefronts, an Edgehill location on Wedgewood Avenue and an East Nashville location on Woodland Street, and notes that an outdoor patio area is being developed as an event space. Gift cards are available for purchase through the website for customers who wish to shop the plant, jewelry, and homewares selections.
