A Journey of Passion, Patience, and Plants

In June 2024, I officially registered my small business—Luscious Leaves LLC—a dream that had been growing quietly in my heart for years. It all started with a simple love for plants and the joy they bring into people's lives. Now, almost a year later, I’m taking a moment to pause, reflect, and begin documenting this journey. Not just for myself, but for anyone who might be building something of their own—something fueled by love, grit, and a whole lot of patience.

Starting a business has been just what you’d expect: a rollercoaster. There have been moments of self-doubt, challenges I didn’t see coming, and days where I wondered if I was in over my head. But looking back, I can see how much I’ve grown—slowly, steadily, and in ways I didn’t expect. What amazes me most is how much I’ve truly come to love the process. Even the hard parts. Especially the hard parts.

This blog is a place where I’ll share what I’ve learned, what I’m still figuring out, and all the beautiful, messy, magical moments along the way. Whether you're a fellow entrepreneur, a plant lover, or someone who just loves to see passion in action—I hope you’ll find something here that inspires you to keep going, too.

Still Growing...

I’m so grateful for every collaboration, every workshop, every kind word from a customer or fellow plant lover. Building Luscious Leaves has been one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done. It’s not easy—but it’s so worth it.

To those of you who’ve supported this journey in any way: thank you. Whether you’ve come to a workshop, shared a post, swapped a plant, or just cheered me on—your support keeps this dream alive and growing.

Here’s to what’s ahead.

Stay rooted,
