About us

When the recession hit in 2008, we had to make the tough decision to close down our pizza restaurant. To make ends meet, we turned to selling plants and trees from our backyard on Craigslist. What started as a simple side hustle soon blossomed into something much more. We named our online plant nursery after our beloved dog, Pixie (R.I.P.), who had been Mrinali's loyal companion while she worked at our Garden Center.

Life has a way of guiding us where we need to be. A zoning issue related to selling plants from a residential area unexpectedly led us to secure an affordable lease on a three-acre property—giving our nursery a permanent home. In the spring of 2011, we moved to our new location, and we haven’t looked back since.

But like any journey, ours wasn’t without challenges. In 2015, a devastating fire broke out on a Sunday, completely destroying our barn. Inside were plants we had just purchased, along with all our shipping supplies. It was a huge setback, but we refused to let it stop us. By Monday, we had reordered shipping materials, and by Tuesday, we were back to business—missing only a single day of shipping.

Our resilience has shaped who we are today, and every challenge has only strengthened our passion for what we do.

Mrinali is the heart and soul of the nursery. A certified Master Gardener, she also holds a master’s degree in English literature. When time allows, she plans to further her education with a degree in Horticulture.

As for me, Bala, I proudly wear the title of the "honey-do list" guy. Despite holding a bachelor's degree in Agricultural Science and an M.B.A.,

I know about plants, but Mrinali knows about plants a whole lot more - even if it is not her main subject.

My passion is Helping small businesses, Studying Stock Market and Cooking.
