Waiting in the wings when you break up with your Christmas tree. We feel it, too. That letdown after the holidays. When you take down the tree and everything feels so bare and boring.

These guys are better than therapy. Because #plantsmakeeverythingbetter

Our Top 9 posts of 2020 reflected our need for connection, growth and comfort. We had no idea when this year began how much would change or how long things would last (we’re still wondering about that). But we needed every bit of beauty we could get our hands on.

And then we realized we were doing something right all along. We were making the world more beautiful the best way we knew how: by focusing on plants and the people who love them. We were helping people live in the moment, breathe fresh air, make their spaces (and lives) more personal, grow in all kinds of ways and feel a little bit better.

We hustled to get trees, shrubs, annuals, perennials, pottery, houseplants, soil and so much more online, with descriptions, sizes and in some cases delivery options. We created curbside pick up areas and small, safe, open-air workshops. We personal shopped over the phone and delivered and planted trees.

And we made it. Thanks to you. We’re looking ahead to 2021 not with unrealistic expectations, but with genuine confidence that we can grow amazing together. Our purpose moving forward? To give our time and attention to the people, passions and plants that make us better, healthier, happier and feel more connected. Even if just a little. Want to join us?

Our last tree, shining bright.

Oh what a season it was! We will be taking a little time off to share love with our family and rest up for the next season!

May this new year bring goodness to all. Thank you to each of you! You helped make this past year, feel like home.

Our doors will open back up
January 4th. We look forward to seeing you then!

Plants really do make everything better.

Yes, this year is different. We need more comfort, patience, fresh air and Queen’s Gambit (have you seen? Put it on your list!). In the meantime, we’re getting our fix of quiet, beautiful, life-affirming plants that make every day, including the holidays, a little bit better and brighter.

Are you Team Poinsettia or Team Christmas Cactus? We’ve decided to split our allegiance between the two in part because they look so vibrant in simple pottery and because the minis are so darn cute!

How many houseplants is too many houseplants? Asking for a friend.

We love a cozy corner with some houseplants and a candle lit. It makes the gloomy, winter days feel better.

Houseplants always make a great gift! Come browse our toasty conservatory or shop online from your couch ✨
