: María Blum-Sullivan built Paraíso Plant Studio from the ground up during a period of profound personal change. What began as a cathartic practice of tending her garden while navigating job loss, new motherhood, and postpartum depression has grown into a thriving Berkeley plant shop and community space.

A community organizer at heart, María built her business model around plant education, strong relationships with her staff and customers, and a deep commitment to creating quality jobs and making a space that is welcoming to all—especially LGBTQ+ and immigrant communities.

To do that, she needed flexible business financing that didn’t infringe on her values or her bottom line. Through a partnership with the City of Berkeley, Working Solutions provided business loans to help María grow into a larger space and refinance existing predatory debt that had been holding her back.

A special thank you to Bond Studio for partnering with us to tell this story!
