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

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.
