Canadian Succulents

So excited to announce we will be hosting THREE Mother's Day Workshops at the Toronto Botanical Garden this year. Give your mum what she really wants this year - time spent with YOU (and a bonus of creating something beautiful together!).

We have sold out two Mothers Day Workshops for the last 4 years and we have already sold over a third of tickets for this year. So grab them while you still can! (Link in bio!)

From one "borrowed" shelf to 10 years of growth. 🌱

If you saw me in the summer of 2016, you saw a 23 year old young woman obsessed with collecting succulents. What I didn’t have? A plan for a Canadian winter, or any idea how to run a business.

I remember knocking on Jeff & Marjorie Mason’s heated greenhouse door the fall of 2016 begging for one tiny shelf to keep my 100+ succulent species collection from freezing. That one shelf turned into two, then five, then a rent check. Before I knew it, my "hobby" had 20,000 followers and a business license.

I spent the next 5 years balancing this with my teaching career until I finally took the leap 5 years ago to go full-time. It’s been the hardest, most rewarding decade of my life.

This September marks 10 YEARS of Canadian Succulents. I wouldn't trade the "hard days" for anything, and I am so grateful for the year 2016 ❤️

Having some fun in the greenhouse lately, what's your fave, roller skate or cowboy boot!? 🤠 🛼

I've been a little quiet on here lately, and for a good reason - I gave birth to a sweet little baby girl in February and am soaking up all the newborn cuddles 🩷

Canadian Succulents has still been running workshops across the GTA, with help from an incredible new employee, who's been so wonderful and helpful through this new transition.

I will be slowly getting back to hosting workshops myself in the next couple of weeks and will be back at the Toronto Flower Market in May 🌸

Navigating motherhood and entrepreneurship has been a wild ride. When I was pregnant I often got the question "how much maternity leave will you take?" The reality of owning and running a small business is that I haven't really been able to take any time off. While actively in labour, I was at the greenhouse madly trying to finish some last minute prep, and hours after giving birth I was on the phone trying to coordinate workshops and payments. I truly wouldn't have it any other way. I love this little business I've built and I love the freedom it will eventually provide me when I am able to take this little girl to the greenhouse with me everyday, and share my love for plants with her 🌿

Thanks for following along on this journey with me!
