Our Founder: Alex “Dusty” Miller
As a proud Long Island native, my roots in horticulture trace back to my time at Farmingdale State College, where I first delved into the world of plants and cultivation in their Urban Horticulture Program. Following my studies, I’ve embarked on a decade-long adventure as a florist and horticulturist, navigating the diverse landscapes of Long Island and New York City, both indoor and out.
My hands-on experience has been cultivated by the vibrant energy of New York City and the serene landscapes of Long Island, allowing me to develop a unique perspective on horticulture. From traditional suburban gardens to avant garde living sculptures, I've had the privilege of witnessing the transformative power of greenery and I want to share that knowledge with ya!
