About Us
An independent bookstore and plant shop – featuring retro vibes and local roots.
Monstera's Books is an independent bookstore based in Overland Park, KS. We sell new books, old books, plants, stationery, local merch, and more.
Our bookshop opened in March 2024 and is owned by Kate Wieners, who got tired of working in the corporate world and chased her dream: spending every day surrounded by books and plants.
We are a local business – our customers are our neighbors. We love Overland Park, we live 5 minutes from the store, and we are working to build something our whole community can be proud of.
