GROW WITH INTENTION
Connecting with plants can quietly reshape the way you move through the world. It’s often a small starting point, just noticing how something grows, how it reacts to light, water, or even neglect.
Spending time caring for plants, or even just observing them, creates a stronger sense of connection to the natural world. And once that connection is there, your decisions tend to shift without forcing it. You start thinking twice about waste, about where things come from, about how your choices affect the environment around you.
It’s not some dramatic overnight change. It’s gradual. Subtle, even. But the closer you feel to nature, the harder it becomes to ignore its needs. And from there, living more sustainably doesn’t feel like a chore. It just starts to feel like the obvious thing to do.
INSTANT DREAM HOME
My show Instant Dream Home is available for streaming on Netflix!
On Instant Dream Home, I got to do what I love most on a huge, wild, slightly sleep-deprived scale. I served as the show’s exterior decorator and resident “plantrepreneur,” which meant reimagining outdoor spaces that had been overlooked, underused, or just plain exhausted. My job was to turn those yards into places that felt alive again, spaces where families could gather, breathe, and actually enjoy being home.
The heart of the show was simple but intense: our team took on major renovations for deserving families and pulled them off under extreme time pressure, with the redesign kept secret until the big reveal. That pressure was real, but so was the joy. One minute, you’re hauling plants and making last-second design calls; the next, you’re watching a family step into a transformed space that finally reflects who they are and what they’ve been through. That’s the part that sticks with me. It wasn’t just about beautiful landscaping. It was about creating function, comfort, and a little bit of peace, all in a matter of hours.
Working alongside my incredibly talented friends Paige Mobley, Adair Curtis, Eric Curtis, and Danielle Brooks was the joy of a lifetime, but the families we helped are truly the stars of the show. They are community leaders in every sense of the word—selfless and loving people who give without expectation—and it was an honor being able to share their stories and give back to them what they so readily give away to others.
This experience truly pushed me to my landscaping limits, and completing these homes in just ONE DAY was wild. Get ready to laugh, cry and be inspired. And don’t forget your tissues 😉 🤧 ”
