The self-proclaimed plant hunter gave guests a sneak peek of her new business, LeafLove, which is located directly in front of MONO and features living plants and homewares.
Ms Edmonds told the Mail it took her about four to five weeks to transform the former clothing retail space into the homewares store.
“We did it all ourselves,” she said. “Even though we said that we were never going to grind concrete again, we did.”
Ms Edmonds said she was inspired to open the store as she saw the potential the space had.
“I think the building kind of dictated it for me,” she said.
“I could see its potential for beautiful light and space, and I wanted something that connected with MONO, so I had a vision that it would work.
“The plants were doing so well in MONO that I wanted to expand it, and this was the obvious next step.”
