Mona Bahraini is founder and owner of The Prickly Pear + PP Jungle Shop and Garden Venue. She fell in love with succulents and cacti while growing up in Phoenix, Arizona. When she moved to Northern California in 2013, she realized how much she missed the desert landscape and her plant jounrey began. In 2017, she started her plant shop out of her backyard and it quickly expanded into one of the first boutique plant shops in Sacramento, California with a range of different services from custom centerpiece designs, landscaping, plant care advice, community garden projects and her prickly pear cactus oil skincare line called PPBody. Mona also created the very first Pot n’ Sips, where you can pot a plant and enjoy local wine with friends, family or co-workers for team building activities. You can now visit The Prickly Pear + PP Jungle located at 816 U St., a hidden gem in a historic Sacramento home converted into a greenhouse, shop, desert garden and venue! You’ll find the largest variety of succulents and cacti at The Prickly Pear plus experience the newest addition, PP Jungle, a diverse selection of tropical house plants. Mona also loves sharing her passion for mama earth and her family farm life on her social media platforms.
