About OHP

Hi! Veronica here, the massive plant nerd behind Oh Happy Plants :)

Right now I'm running this business largely solo. Shaunté is working at Emerald City Orchids (definitely check them out; they're amazing!), and Drumstick is still shop mascot :)

I've been caring for my own plants since I started using my allowance for seed packets at age 5 or 6, and I started keeping houseplants in my room when I was 10 or 11. When I was 28, I got a job working for an interior plant care company. I spent 6 years taking care of thousands of houseplants in hundreds of indoor micro-climates, and my AuDHD brain started seeing patterns in houseplant 'behavior.' That's how OHP was born.

Now I run this online store, our free member community, and the Houseplant Coach Podcast.  I'm currently also working on starting a new business (as of early 2025) as well as a blog geared toward eco-friendly yard redesign. On top of that, I've been a small business consultant and coach for 10+ years.

Most days you'll find me goofing off with my dog in the garage while mixing soil, or hanging out with my son and stepson, playing piano, gardening, painting/sculpting, out hiking, building random things, or planning shenanigans :)
