    I put these on repeat and just listen to these throughout my day to keep my mind peaceful. Lol. I’m 38 years old today and find your content so helpful and soothing. For my birthday I have decided to start my first aquarium, and thanks to you, I have so much more confidence. You probably won’t see this, but thank you. I couldn’t quite understand how to connect to myself in quiet moments before and your vlogs and videos are so helpful.

    I just bought a Passiflora Colinvauxii vine from your website, and I'm so excited to get it! I'm a little worried that it might be too cold for it to survive (It just snowed where I live), but I think it'll be okay. I can't wait to have it growing throughout my other plants! Love your videos too, and I'm really happy to see that you got commissioned to make art with plants, you're so good at making plants look good, so I'm not surprised that you were able to do a plant installation. Love the content, keep up the hard work :)

I can see how much thought and care was put into the process and I appreciate it so much even if it’s only through this video I’m seeing it. I really love the passion and the welcoming space you share with us, it is always very comforting. I wish you the best always! love from san jose, ca!

    Thank you Chris for making time to record the Pop Up Ceramic event! JiaHao and Benji’s pieces are all amazing! May other plant shops/organizations see this and fly you guys outside L.A. so that others can enjoy your displays in person. The Franklin Park Conservatory in Columbus, Ohio holds an amazing Ikebana event. I was able to see it one time when visiting friends couple years ago. They should host you guys for that. I should send them a link to this video.
