Hi! Lydia here!
Whether you’ve been part of this journey from the beginning or you’ve just found your way here—through the LTH Podcast, the shop, or other plant lovers—I’m Lydia, and I’m so glad you’re here.
When I first brought plants into my home, I just wanted a little bit of green—a little calm. But in the midst of working a job that was draining the life out of me, plants quickly became something more. They gave me peace, purpose, and eventually… community. In 2019, a few months before the pandemic hit, I had this wild idea: what if I could turn this passion into something meaningful? Something that could bring others the same joy it brought me.
Just a month before the world shut down, I made a huge leap and left the job that was breaking me mentally, emotionally, and physically. Since then, it’s been a surreal ride—nurturing plants, connecting with you, and doing something I love so deeply. It has meant the world to me to be trusted with bringing a little life and joy into your homes.
With the help of my best friend Jessi, The Green Plant was born. Jessi—and later, Adam—were all-in with me. We poured love into every plant, every package, every moment of this dream. While they’re no longer officially part of the business, they were such a meaningful part of this journey, and TGP wouldn’t be what it is today without them. I’ll forever be grateful for everything we built together, and for the memories we’ll always share.
TGP started as a passion project, but it has become a place of growth, solace, connection, and yes—joy. I hope to continue to build a community, to keep growing with you, celebrating your thriving jungles, and hearing your stories as we walk through life with plants by our side. This space isn’t just a business—it’s something we’ve all grown together.
So all that to say, thank you for your love, your kindness, and your support!
So much love,
Lydia
