I know I havenāt properly introduced myself yet. To be honest I have been a little afraid of my story. I let imposter syndrome get the better of me. oops. Looking back over the last couple years I am in awe of the transformation, and blissful in how much beauty we brought to so many peopleās lives. Itās been scary, but Plantus Potum has been the most wonderful, and unexpected journey.
Plantus Potum (plantā¢us / poā¢tum) :is a play on botanical nomenclature meaning, āplants drink.ā š„
Plantus Potum started as a planty-crafty subscription box during the pandemic, and soon moved into small retail shop in Denver, to be a place to find beauty in plants and flowers. Shortly after, I got the opportunity to design my first wedding. I was hooked! Mmmm, more like obsessed, and Plantus Potum evolved into a multidisciplinary floral design studio.
Each new stage of transformation surprises and scares me. I am eager to navigate the new territories of my budding business, but deep down I have been so nervous to take the stage on social media. Especially as Iāve been trying to discover what the heck it is we do.
Looking back, I see how beautiful this journey has been. I have had the opportunity to work with amazing people to bring their events and large-scale floral installations to life. I canāt possibly imagine a different path now.
Itās time to invite you in on this journey with me! So, without further ado.
