This month we interviewed Becky, who started plant collecting four years ago to help with fatigue and burnout from her emotionally taxing animal welfare occupation. She needed a hobby that involved nurturing, independent from animals. She then found plants. What started with a few succulent cuttings has now grown to over 320 containers of plants in her home and a local online plant community, “Maryland Plant Hobbyists,” with almost 1,500 members!
