Who am I?
Who am I? Who are you? Why are we here? Lots of questions in life. I don’t have answers to many of them, but I can tell you about me and why I’m here.
I’m Julian, and I’m old-ish, and when recently confronted with my own mortality, decided I really should try to accomplish at least one thing in life that made me feel like I had a purpose. And this is that purpose. I mean, yes, it’s a plant and plant accessories and substrate store, but really my passion is in sharing knowledge about how to grow plants, and creating community for folks to feel comfortable in. I’m always available to answer any plant related questions no matter how small. And I will always give my honest opinion on any plant product items listed on my website. And even ones I don’t I’m sure. (especially the ones I don’t)
Plant stock will always be rotating, so check back often. And if you have a special request for a plant and you don’t see it listed, I’m happy to attempt to track it down for you! I’m lucky to have met many different plant folks with a wide variety of diverse plants. So if I don’t have something, chances are, I’m able to recommend a trustworthy resource who will!
