Meet Penny: Your Plantista at The Planting Pot

Hey, I'm Penny – a plant lover through and through. At 38 years young, I've found my peace in the vibrant world of plants and gardening.

My journey took a surprising turn when I left my job to fully embrace the magic of greenery. You see, I used to work in a completely different world, producing medical equipment at a plastics manufacturer. It was a double life – moments of coolness mixed with overwhelming stress. The 3:45 am wake-up calls had me feeling more drained than alive.

But, the moment I distanced myself from that chapter, I began to thrive. I dove headfirst into converting my carport into a cozy space, all while nurturing a bustling family of over 300 plants, 2 children, a cat, a dog and a bird.

My motivation isn't always consistent, thanks to my place on Team Autism and Team ADHD. But the love I have for every plant under my care keeps me going. I'm not the most social media-savvy person, but I'm determined to share the highs and lows of this incredible journey. It's all about taking life one day at a time, embracing the beauty of the garden, and finding solace in the world of plants.

Welcome to The Planting Pot, where my love for plants and the joy of gardening come together to bring you the peace that only nature can provide.
