Why choose plants?

I can tell you that there’s something special about plants. Often sitting unnoticed, they have the power to transform a space, lift a mood, and even change the way we see things. My love for plants didn’t happen overnight—it grew slowly, it grew over time, it helped me heal when I was feeling low, when I grieved, when I felt lost.

Plants bring a special connection to nature

In a world that can be ever demanding, non-stop and loud, plants provide that gentle reminder to slow down. To be present. Watching a new leaf unfurl or a bud bloom is like witnessing a tiny miracle. They teach patience, because growth takes time, and they reward time taken to nurture with unique beauty.

Plants bring a boost to well-being

Caring for plants is more than just watering and pruning—it’s a form of mindfulness. The simple act of tending to them helps to feel grounded and present. In times of stress or worry, taking time to be present amongst plants indoors or out can lift our mood and change how we feel.

Plants bring a personal touch

Plants bring warmth and personality to any room, any space. A trailing Epipremnum on a bookshelf, a cheerful Kalanchoe by the window, or a tiny succulent on a desk—they each have their own charm. They can make a space feel alive, vibrant, and welcoming.

Plants provide lessons

Plants have taught me resilience. Some bounce back after neglect, others thrive in unexpected places, and all of them adapt to their environment in their own way. They remind me that growth isn’t always linear.

Loving plants isn’t just about enjoying their beauty—it’s about the stillness they offer, moments of quiet companionship, the life lessons, and the joy they bring into everyday moments. For me, they’re not just décor; they’re living reminders that even in small, steady ways, we can all grow.

Why choose plants? They bring joy!
