Molly Miranda
Owner
I'm living my dream! My focus is ensuring you have the best experience with our products and as part of our community. My ever-growing plant jungle includes fiddle leaf figs, a ficus audrey, calatheas, succulents, Monstera, and African Violets. When I'm not tending to the business, I'm exploring the San Francisco Bay Area with my husband and four kids.
Kristy Empol
Marketing & Customer Support
I'm the voice of our community! I love connecting with plant parents, answering questions, and celebrating your plant successes with you. My favorite is the pothos—it thrives with just a bit of love and attention, much like our lovely community. You'll often find me walking with my cocker spaniel Penny or cheering on my two kids at their sporting events.
Ranjeeta Rani
Websites and Inventory
I'm the tech wizard who keeps our websites running smoothly and ensures our products are always available when you need them. My favorite houseplant is the Monstera—I'm completely captivated by their large, gorgeous green leaves. I love spending time with my young daughter, and sharing the wonders of the natural world with her.
Michelle Hyman
Social Media
I bring our plant loving community together on social media! When I'm not connecting with you online, I'm exploring the outdoors with my pup or tending to my growing plant collection. My stunning 30-leaf Monstera Thai Constellation never fails to take my breath away.
Pam Samson
Graphic Design & Research
I am the creative heart behind our community. I bring a curious eye and thoughtful care to everything I do. I am enchanted with Variegated Monsteras - the white streaks always catch my eye. When I'm not digging into plant facts or creative visuals, I love spending time with my 2 adorable kids and husband outside for a quick stroll in the park.
