Hey everyone! 🌊🌿

We haven’t forgotten about you! Life has been a whirlwind of growth for us lately! Berk is officially in the final stretch of nursing school and is preparing for graduation. It’s been a busy season of studying, but we are so excited to get back into the swing of things with all of you.

We have some exciting things in the works, so make sure to keep a close eye on our page:

Upcoming Sales: We are growing out some fun stuff and are preparing to check for corms so be ready for some amazing deals!

Collection Updates: We’ve been nurturing some beautiful new growth in our personal collections, and we can’t wait to show you what’s been happening in the greenhouse. We both have an album of photos now that have some our favorites in our collections (some recent photos, some old)!

Thank you so much for sticking with us while things have been hectic. We’re looking forward to sharing more coastal plant love with you very soon! 🐚🪴

🌱 Hey plant friends! 🌱

We are so excited to finally pull back the curtain and introduce ourselves! We’re Berk and Marisa, and we’ve spent the last few months turning our plant obsession into The Intracoastal Aroid. We’ll be bringing rare greenery to the Wilmington and Hampstead area (and shipping nationwide) very soon!

Meet Berk 🩺🐍
When he’s not buried in nursing school textbooks, Berk is usually "mining" for corms or nerding out over a new leaf unfurling. Based in Wilmington, he’s got a huge knack for building computers and growing out his corms. He shares his "indoor jungle" with a Frenchie and a Ball Python, so he’s used to keeping all kinds of things thriving!

Meet Marisa 🐾✂️
You might already know Marisa from her local grooming shop, Serenity Transfurmations Pet Spa! Originally from Philly, she traded the city life for the NC coast and brought her major green thumb with her. She’s a serial entrepreneur who’s usually hanging out with her puppy, Gary. While she loves her Monsteras and Philodendrons, she’s currently deep in a Hoya obsession!

What’s coming your way:
✅ Local Drops: Easy pickups right here in Wilmington and Hampstead.
✅ Plant Mail: We’re shipping corms, pups, and full-grown beauties nationwide (expertly packed, of course).
✅ No-Gatekeeping Advice: From easy Monsteras to those dramatic Alocasias, we’re here to help you keep your plants happy.

We are so stoked to start this journey with you all. Keep an eye out, we’ve got some amazing things growing and more details are coming VERY soon! 🌿🌊

In the meantime, feel free to share our page with your friends along with dropping a comment and telling us: What's the "holy grail" plant on your wishlist right now? 👇
