Alisha Crockett

Inventory Specialist & Bubble Blower Extraordinaire

Favorite Plant:

The first plant I ever bought was a Jade, and it has been a very resilient and forgiving plant. It propagates so easily, and looks so regal as it gets older and larger.

Plant Hack:

Regular use of a humidifier in my own home has really helped my plants thrive.

Fun Fact:

When not caring for plants, I'm fulfilling orders for a local coffee roaster while staying highly caffeinated.

Austin Peters

Trouble Shooter

Favorite Plant:

Anything that channels dr. Seuss. Currently loving my carnivorous plants!

Plant Hack:

Grow lights grow lights grow lights

Fun Fact:

I’m also a human doctor!

Diana Aalberg

All Burn Wax Vendor / Consignor

Favorite Plant:

Monstera - Majestic and relatively easy to care for.

Plant Hack:

Yellow Leaf = over watering / Brown leaf = more water. Humidifier helps so much during winter months when heaters are on.

Fun Fact:

I love true crime / listening to podcasts / obsessed with my cat

Rachel E

Incorporeal Content Strategist

Favorite Plant:

Dandelions— they're my favorite color and people usually don't get upset if you pick them out of their lawns.

Plant Hack:

I used to overwater my cacti, so now I write sticky note reminders for when to water them next.

Fun Fact:

I like to memorize poetry, weightlift, climb 14ers with friends, and teach about Leave No Trace. In my non-spare time, I work as a PR/media analyst where I read so, so, so many news articles.

Wes Y

Designer/Creative

Favorite Plant:

Slipper orchids, Cypripedioideae. They look alive and have so many fine details.

Plant hack:

Did you know vanilla comes from an Orchid?

Fun Fact:

I'm a landscape designer and artist. Have done work for both residential and commercial projects inside and out. I love being outside on hikes or in the garden with my dogs.

Daphne Peters

Wrangler of Plant Babies (and Owner)

Favorite Plant:

Rattlesnake Calathea—Easy to care for, pattern on leaves is shocking, it folds up and down with the light, is non-toxic and works well in low light.

Plant Hack:

Humidity all around - spritzer bottles don't work well unless you are constantly doing it. Get a humidifier!

Fun Fact:

If it was physically and socially acceptable I'd probably glue my lips to my kid. I love him so much. I hope I never have to go back to working for someone else. I'm usually drinking many different liquids all at once (non-alcoholic mostly). I love people but also need to nap hard after hanging out with humans.
