On a recent January day, the owners of a new bar called The Marigold were busy setting up potted ferns and leafy monsteras throughout the 2,500-square-foot space, formerly home to Five Points Market. Their placements may be temporary, however, because these plants aren’t just for decor — they’re also for sale.
