Welcome to my YouTube channel where I share my love for all things botanical. Join me as I explore nurseries for unique finds and care for my ever growing collection at home. I began this channel after receiving such positive feedback on my Instagram plant posts and now I am excited to bring that same energy here. From orchids to cacti, succulents to Hoyas I am always looking for plants that catch my eye. They may not be the latest trend but they are captivating to me. Along the way I will share helpful tips and tricks for plant care so both beginners and seasoned plant lovers can learn something new. Thank you for tuning in.
For business and collaboration inquiries including partnerships product features sponsorships and reviews please reach out. I am also open to showcasing products from plant stores and greenery related businesses as well as participating in events for video features.

Finally had a chance to sit back and watch this one! Sometimes when you’re recording, not everything registers in the moment, and this was a long one. Watching it back, there’s actually a few things I should’ve bought 😅 It’s amazing what you notice when you can just sit and relax and take it all in.
