A thriving houseplant can do more than brighten a room; it can lift your mood, teach patience and even help you slow down in a fast-paced world. That's the philosophy behind plant therapy, a growing wellness practice that uses nature and gardening to support emotional wellbeing.
For Kenyan plant therapist Emily K. Millern, the journey began with a few houseplants and a lifelong passion for gardening. Today, she is helping others discover the joy of plant parenting and sharing simple ways to build a greener, healthier home.
Emily K. Millern, a Kenyan plant lead therapist and founder of Emily Blooms, a plant shop, has a lifelong love for gardening that blossomed into a business and a therapeutic practice.
Growing up on a farm, she developed an early interest in plants and gardening. In 2021, after moving into her own home, she cultivated a collection of houseplants bought from a local nursery.
