Lauren: My parents instilled a strong work ethic in me. Dad is very creative and I think, subconsciously, I was inspired by that. It certainly led me down a creative career path.
Sophia: My parents always encouraged us to try everything. They were very open-minded and supportive of whatever we chose to pursue. Nonno grew lots of herbs and vegetables and I really enjoyed spending time gardening with him.
L: The variety of the work is probably one of the most appealing aspects of running Leaf Supply. Between updating our socials, creating marketing material, and getting my hands dirty potting up plants, it’s a nice change for someone who used to be pretty much chained to a computer.
S: I love that no two workdays are the same. We might be visiting nurseries to select plants, shooting products for the website, putting visuals together, or writing copy for our books.
L: Working with plants is inherently therapeutic and encouraging others to bring plants into their lives is a genuinely lovely pursuit. The opportunity to be creative – whether that’s styling plants in a space, creating beautiful content, collaborating with amazing brands, or producing our books – also makes me happy.
S: Music always makes me happier. When I’m working, I love listening to podcasts – favorites include Conversations, The Daily, All in the Mind, and Ladies, We Need to Talk.
