Satisfying and so easy!

By layering epsom salts, dried Lavendar buds, and lavender essential oil you can make yourself a lovely aromatic experience for the end of a long day.

I wish I had New Moms Group when my babies were little. I joined their Coffee & Connections Group and we made lavender bath salts so these beautiful mamas have something nice to enjoy.

Sensory stimulation (in calming ways) is so important when living with the anxieties of every day life. It reminded me of how my journey with plants began. As new mom needing a mental break from the daily chaos.

Plus! We supported so many small businesses through this activity!

Step outside for a moment, and you’ll see that nature never stops showing up.

There’s a steadiness in the natural world that reminds us to keep going, to keep noticing, and to keep finding beauty right where we are.

When the world feels heavy, let nature be your reminder: there’s still so much good growing all around you. 🍄

🌿 NAMI Labyrinth Walk | Soft Launch of Rooted in Respite 🌿

Last night we shared something special — our first soft launch of Rooted in Respite at the NAMI Labyrinth Walk!

Guests were invited to take home a plant propagation — a small, living symbol of growth and calm. My favorite part was watching people go from a little hesitant to glowing with joy as they picked out and took home their very own plant.

At Rooted in Respite, we offer private and group classes that connect people to nature through hands-on plant activities and mindful practices. Each session helps reduce stress, spark creativity, and nurture a positive connection with the natural world.

🌿 Big news! 🌿

Easy to Love Plants is growing in a new direction — and with that, I’m changing the name to Rooted in Respite.

What started as a little pandemic plant business has blossomed into something deeper. I’ve loved helping people find the right plant for their home, but lately my heart has been in creating experiences — nature-based classes that bring people together, slow things down, and remind us how good it feels to connect with plants (and each other).

Rooted in Respite will focus on workshops and community classes where we can recharge, create, and grow —

Thank you for being part of this journey - and never forget - you are SO EASY TO LOVE 🌸

This weekend I had the priviledge of hosting a Private Tea Cup Garden Class -- virtually.

This group of friends were celebrating over 40 years of friendship, taking time to connect with themselves and each other. We discussed the impact of using nature-based activities as a way to engage the senses and calm the mind.

I'm booking out for the end of the year and my claendar is filling up quickly! If you have a group or a team that could use a meaningful nature-based experience together, DM me for more information!

If your group could use a little plant therapy to refresh and reset, I’d love to bring this experience to you. Reach out at Katie@easytoloveplants.com.

My motto is simple: “Plants Make People Grow.” And every time I teach, I see it come to life. 🌱✨

About Us

Dear Plant Friends + Family:

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."
