Favorite Plant & Why:Oh gosh can I have more than one? I love Rex Begonias. Because the true diversity of them is beautiful. Their leaves are captivating and a glorious reminder that not matter the size, shape or color we are simply stunning.
Personal Growth Tip:Keep Planting and sowing, living and knowing: Beautiful things take time, and that is ok.
Definition of Community:Knowing the difference between an audience & a community. An audience needs ongoing energy from you. A community is self-sustaining. Audiences can be bought. Communities are earned. The key is building your community with people, rather than for them. That is where the magic lies.
Favorite Plant & Why:Fatsia Japonica…also known as the Spider Web Plant. I love it because it has such a dope look. The shape is very peculiar & familar. It is certainly a conversation starter.
Personal Growth Tip:Keep learning. The ability and desire to learn are powerful skills. That will always have a positive impact.
Definition of Community:Lean on one another. Uplift one another and reminder each other of the good even during the bad. This is my definition of community.
Antionette Douglas -In House Designer
Favorite Plant & Why? The Lemon Lime Maranta. It was the first real plant I purchased. Not only did it teach me how to take care and spend time caring for my plants but it also came with the meaning prayer plant. Prayer was something I was needing in my life at that time. Seeing it thriving in my room everyday was a constant reminder for me to stop and be grateful for the life I had been given.
Personal Growth Tip approach everything with grace!
Definition of Community: People coming together from every walk of life to better themselves and the community around then. Being open to learning and exploring things that are out of there comfort zone and meeting others where they are at.
Favorite Plant & Why: Fiddle Leaf Fig. They can be tricky, but when they are happy they are so beautiful!
Personal Growth Tip: You should never be the smartest person in the room. Surround yourself with people who have more connections and more experience.
Definition of Community: A group of people who will lift you up even when you aren’t in their immediate presence.
Favorite Plant & Why: My favorite plant is the Chinese Money Plant. It was the first plant I was ever given and the first time I saw it, I was drawn by its circle shaped leaves. A bonus is that it symbolizes wealth, prosperity, and friendship.
Personal Growth Tip:Nurture what you have before yearning for more. Sometimes the grass isn’t greener on the other side. It’s green where you water it.
Definition of Community:I define community as several individuals coming together as their authentic selves, contributing to the group with their unique attributes and abilities. A strong unit that can depend on one another without judgement.
Kathy- People & Culture Manager
Favorite Plant & Why: Fiddle Leaf Fig is my favorite. They have a rep of being finicky and hard to maintain but they just like what they like. Once I understood how to keep mine alive, watching her grow was so rewarding.
Personal Growth Tip: I often ask myself “what’s the last thing you learned?” or “when was the last time you felt challenged?” That is a good gauge of personal development and if I am too comfortable.
Definition of Community: The people in my proximity. I choose my community and how involved I am. They are an extension of my support system.
Favorite Plant & Why: My favorite plant right now is the moonshine snake plant. It is so gorgeous, I had never seen one until it came in to the shop! I hope I can get my hands on one next time.
Personal Growth Tip: Listen, and don’t react. If you’re reacting you aren’t listening, and you can’t communicate without listening! I’m working hard this year to stop reacting and start listening.
Definition of Community: My definition of community is the people who surround you that care for you. The people who wake up every day and root for you, and want to see you thriving. I love the community I have found at The Plant Project!
Lauren - Shopkeeper and Foliage Stylist
Favorite Plant & Why: The Snake Plant It’s low-maintenance, strong, and purifies air—just like strong communities, it thrives even in challenging environments..
Personal Growth Tip: My personal growth tip is to regularly do things that make you happy—even small things. When you prioritize joy, you refill your energy and stay connected to yourself!When you feel good, you show up better for others—and that’s where real growth starts.
Definition of Community: Community to me means creating a space where everyone feels seen, valued, and supported. It’s about rooting for each other! .
