About this Lister
About Me 🌞
I'm an Archival Researcher and writer based in Brooklyn; I love plants, books, and making new connections✨. I also enjoy literature, research, and making information accessible.
My green thumb started with my grandfather, who was a farmer in Haiti; Growing mangos, avocados, foods that he sold and fed his family with. My mother carried this on--insisting that we always have plants growing in our home. My father, later on, would start a garden on our Brooklyn balcony.
I grew up with a reverence for the earth and all that grows on it. It's a kind of love and knowledge that grows each day I see my plants; and that helps me connect to other living beings. This is has become a practice that I'd love to share with others.
Background and Expertise
I have over 6+ years of experience tending to plants of all kinds. I've worked at a plant shop, treating & repotting over 40+ pound large plants. I've worked with "high-maintenance" plants like fiddle leaf figs, calatheas etc.; and also easy care plants like philodendrons, foliage, cacti and succulents. I can assess, doctor, and recommend remedies to try for your sick plants; or even healthy ones (to encourage new growth!). In my own collection I have over 40+ plants growing in my home, including two trees .
I'd love to share my love, knowledge, and care for plants with you & your plant babies!
