Hello hello! My name is Lexi and I’m so excited to meet this lovely community of plant admirers. I am originally from southern California, but recently followed my heart and intuition and moved to Seattle in fall of 2021 from Boulder, Colorado. I’ve been inspired by the boundless beauty of the nature of Washington every day since.
Before finding my way to plants, I worked in the mental health field as a psychotherapist and caregiver. Supporting others on their healing journeys helped me realize that connecting with plants was one of the most crucial ingredients of my own mental and emotional health. This awareness particularly came to light during a long recovery from an intense hip surgery. I looked to my plants to model resilience, constant growth, and homeostasis.
Since then I’ve been eager to share the wisdom of plants with others. I started a small business growing and selling microgreens which created an even deeper hunger to venture further into the whimsical and precious world of plants. I believe that plants are the most nourishing form of art and I feel committed to helping them express themselves for all to see.
Finding Urban Earth Nursery was completely life affirming and grounding for me and I feel so fortunate to have the opportunity to continue its legacy and gifts for our community. Outside of the nursery you can find me dancing, singing, making art, and hugging trees and people.
