Ground Floor Garden becomes blooming Moss in Iowa City
Anne Armitage and Alan Peterka grew from selling willow starts at farmers markets to opening Moss on East Washington Street in Iowa City. The Cedar Rapids business Bark and Bloom expanded from NewBo to Cedar Rapids then to Tow a City, with Moss hosting living decor, planters, pots, and gifts sourced from local growers and their own succulents. They aim to profit in two to three years and emphasize natural, earthy items in a 700 square foot space with a small staff.
