Our Mission
The most unique plants we specialize in are not complicated to grow and nurture. We believe that anyone can grow and nurture a plant if it is the right plant for the your space and you have the right information to be a successful “plant parent”. This means knowing and understanding how the plant thrives in its native environment so that it can thrive for you.
We want to share our passion and pass our knowledge to you. As a plant boutique retailer, our mission is to ensure you have plant care success. We know that not all living spaces are created equal. Moisture, light, temperature, and water quality are factors for choosing the right plant. Other considerations are choosing the right plant for pet- and child-friendly spaces. We believe there are plants for everyone and every living situation.

Team Bio
Lorna (Founding Partner) is resident candle artisan and gardener. She developed her knowledge and skill for plant care and cultivation, starting with designing her outdoor garden. With years of trial and error, she learned which plants thrive and which ones don’t. Over time, Lorna’s outdoor garden began to spread indoors. She has over 60 houseplants in her personal collection, both tropical and desert varieties. Tillandsia air plants, succulents, and cactus plants are her favorites.
Ruthie (Founding Partner) is a gardener with an eye for interior design. Her plant preferences are the tropical plants. Much of Ruthie’s gardening is indoors. Living in a climate where seasonal and air quality changes are extreme, it is a challenge to raise tropical plants year-round. Over the years, Ruthie learned which plants work for her home regardless of season.
