About Me – My Gardening Growth

About Me – My Gardening Growth

Hello gardners! I'm Brianna, a part-time office worker and student for a Master of Arts in Communication, amidst the hustle, there's always room for houseplants in my life. My journey with houseplants began as a goal to add a touch of nature to my small room. Little did I know, it would become a passion that brings beauty to my home. Over time, I’ve collected 50+ plants, each with its own unique personality and care requirements. I really have learned through trial and error to keep these plants alive… I’ve purchased a few from my local plant stores more than once!

Reflecting on some moments from July as we head into August. It’s been busy, and a lot has happened, but i enjoyed taking care of my plants through it all! 

How was July? ☀️🌿
Just a friendly reminder: it’s still growing sea Just a friendly reminder: it’s still growing season, and your houseplants are hungry! ☀️🌿

I gave mine a quick boost with the PlantRX spray I picked up from @houseofplantscanada. It only took a minute, and now my little green crew is ready to soak up the rest of the summer light 

If you’ve been meaning to fertilize but keep forgetting (we’ve all been there), consider this your sign. A quick spray can make a big difference 💚

oh no! consumerism is going to get me 😩🛍️ oh no! consumerism is going to get me 😩🛍️

I wandered Indigo alone for a while (a rare treat) and suddenly I’m daydreaming about book totes, fall mugs, and adorable hats I definitely don’t need…

…but maybe just one wouldn’t hurt? 👀🌿📚
Also saw a very cute dog so it was obviously a 10/10 outing 🐶🐾

Sometimes, you don’t need to buy a thing, just soaking in the calm of a quiet shop, cute finds, and good lighting is enough.
…but I may have walked out with a new coffee mug. 

P.s the last pic has ceramic bins that are actually planters.

Some plants just know where they want to be.
This little guy is thriving in the smallest pot, tucked right into the window where the light hits just right. And my string of turtles? She’s living her best life, cascading down in the sunshine like she owns the place ☀️🪴

I love moments like this, you don’t need to have it all figured out to grow. Just the right light, a little care, and time.

When life gets busy, it’s easy to forget how calming it is to check in on your plants, even for a minute.

This reel is a quiet peek at mine! Some are thriving, some are a little messy, but they’re still growing (just like me 🌱).

You don’t need a huge jungle or hours of spare time to feel connected to nature. A few leafy friends by the window can be enough to make your space feel like yours again.

What plant do you always check on first when you’re stressed? Let me know below, or just drop a 🌱 if your plants help you slow down too.
