So
 Any Questions?

Is this seriously going to help me stop killing plants? I'm beyond help at this point...

I was a plant killer before I became the Happy Plant Lady I am today. This course is my 8 years of expertise I learned from 100s of podcast episodes, many university level courses and real life experience caring for 200+ houseplants, distilled into under 3 hours, to save you the heartbreak I suffered. Trust me, you've got this! 

I already have plants that are thriving. Is this right for me? 

This course is fully comprehensive and designed to fill in gaps of any knowledge holes you might have. I've taken high level university classes on Soil Science, Plant Science and Plant Care, and distilled it into accessible knowledge that will empower you to make this your best year of plant parenthood yet. If you go through the entire course and don't learn a thing, reach out privately and I'll consider a refund :)

(But you already knew that.)

Thriving houseplants isn't about luck—it’s about the right knowledge, plant choice and habits 

Because we are nature.

When I stopped killing plants and learned how to care for them successfully, yes, my home looked way more beautiful filled with gorgeous foliage but more importantly... my internal world changed. 

I stopped having coffee with my phone in the morning, and started having coffee with my plants. 
I noticed the trees on my street for the first time.
I was less stressed.
I felt levels of joy I thought were reserved for vacation. 

I want that for you. And this is where we begin. 

This is about more than plant care for me. 

it's about helping helping millions reconnect with plants, to reconnect with themselves.
