🌿 Our Story
Celebrate Foliage began the way a lot of great stories do—by accident.
During COVID, as a mom of two juggling chaos, crafts, while alternating coffee and wine, I brought home a plant or two to brighten things up. A year later? I had over 300. (Oops.) A few more years later, that “oops” became a 800+species collection and a not-so-secret obsession.
That passion grew roots in the local plant community, where I learned, failed, and flourished alongside some amazing people. One of them happened to be an old friend—Justin—whose early work in horticulture and lifelong appreciation for nature helped turn a hobby into something truly special.
When he moved back to town, it was like the universe said, “Alright, it’s time.” Together—with Justin’s partner, a Fiji native who’s literally taken people on Travel Channel tours of his home island—we dreamed up something bigger than just a plant collection.
Today, Celebrate Foliage has blossomed into a reflection of what we love most—growth, connection, and creativity. Each plant and accessory is chosen with care to inspire calm, curiosity, and a sense of belonging within our ever-growing plant community.
We’re proof that when you mix passion, friendship, and a little dirt—you can grow something truly amazing. 🌱
