Once upon a time, a wife told her husband that she wanted a few plants to freshen up their home, but by "few," she actually meant at least 250.

Yes, the wife is me! Lol.

Growing up in the Philippines, surrounded by greenery, I've always had a passion for plants. Fun fact: I even hustled as a florist at 15 and dabbled in plant/flower photography, selling images online as stock.

When I moved to Ontario, Canada during the pandemic in 2020, I longed to fill our home with plants. However, being new to the country with no local connections, I struggled to find affordable options. The shock from converting CAD to PHP didn't help either.

For three years, I settled for a few succulents, pothos, and a money tree. But in May 2023, something changed. I started hunting for Toronto nurseries and somehow ended up with over 250 plants in just three months, not even including my propagations yet.
