ABOUT US

I’m Yanel, and along with my parents, we run this small, family-owned business with love and dedication. Originally from Venezuela, I now call Nashville, TN, home. Four years ago, I brought my parents to the United States due to the challenging situation in Venezuela. Having them close has been a blessing, and together, we’ve poured our hearts into building this shop as a way to support our family and share our passion for plants.

By profession, I’m a frontend developer, creating beautiful and functional web experiences. Outside of work, plants have always been my passion. Growing up in Venezuela, I was surrounded by lush greenery, which sparked my lifelong love for nature. That love has only grown, and over the years, my home has transformed into a green haven filled with thriving plants.

What began as a personal hobby evolved into a family endeavor. Together, my parents and I propagate plants, care for them with dedication, and share them with others. This business is more than just a source of income—it’s a way to stay connected to our roots and spread the joy plants bring into people’s lives. Every sale helps us support our family and allows us to continue doing what we love.

When you welcome one of our plants into your home, you’re not just buying greenery—you’re supporting a family, sharing in our journey, and helping us grow.

Thank you for supporting our small business. We hope these plants bring as much happiness to your home as they have to ours!
