Like many of us, Britt Parrish found joy in filling her home with plants during quarantine, going from five at the start of the pandemic to well over a hundred at last count. Inspired by the warmth of the online plant community, she started botanicalbritt_ on Instagram this past June as a way to share and connect with others who had monstera mania. Her following has since blossomed into a clientele for whom she's become a personal plant shopper, hunting for hard-to-find requests and mailing them all over the country. We spoke back in August about her grandmother's garden, adding positivity to the world, and how what you're meant to do will find you when you're in alignment with your true self.
