We had the loveliest time at our Vintage Tea Cup Garden Class this weekend at The Flower Patch! 🌿✨ Everyone created their own whimsical little worlds tucked into charming tea cups.
Next Class is Saturday, July 12. Sign up today!
These classes fill up fast, and we’d love to see you there next time!
My peace lily doesn't bloom every day. It sits quietly for weeks, even months, being still.
Do you ever feel like this?
Right now you might not be blooming, but you still are becoming. Even when you feel unseen or unsure, you are still alive with purpose, taking in light in ways no one else can see.
Every plant has its own pace, its own way of thriving. And so do you.
You matter. You’re growing. Keep going.

🌿How to Expense Those Plants at Work 🌿
Ever slipped a plant onto your expense report and called it “office ambiance enhancement”? No shame here—studies show plants boost productivity, and reduce stress effectively making spreadsheets more tolerable.
So go ahead, ask your boss if you can expense that pothos. It's technically for work. 😉

We live in an increasingly isolated world where people are starved for connection. Social therapeutic horticulture is an opportunity to reduce stress and anxiety and connect with others screen-free.
Join me in celebrating World Therapeutic Horticulture Day and join a class (or schedule a private class for your team, group, or party) soon!
Your continued support means the world to me. Whether you’ve attended a workshop, shared kind words, or brought friends to buy plants —I'm incredibly grateful to have you as part of my plant community.

✂️ Sometimes growth means letting go.✂️
Just like our houseplants 🌿 need us to clip away the dead, dried, or yellowing leaves so they can thrive—we need to release what no longer serves us.
✂️One thing I'm letting go of is letting comments on social media threads (especially about current events) affect my mood. I'm done reading them. ✂️
Are you letting go of anything? I'd love to hear about it.
Growing with you,
Katie, The Plant Lady

This pandemic hit me, like many of you, in a real weird way.
Long story short: I turned to my house plants and found MY PLANTS BROUGHT ME BACK TO LIFE.
Before, I bought most of my plants at big box stores and most of them lived about a month. Having the time on my hands, I started doing a lot of research. Not only in today's fads, but also those of yesteryear. I've found some similar themes, I tested them out, and voila! I've figured out a very unscientific way to classify plants as "easy to love + hard to kill."
While taking care of plants, we slow down. We put down our phones, we focus on what is real + good.
Everyone deserves a beautiful houseplant that will purify their air and bring growth + life into their home -- yes, even you plant killers out there.
I'm using over 17 years of instructional design experience, my love for creative collaborations, and my passion for plants to create a service-oriented company to grow with your home + business.
