Overview

Discover the positive power of plants, no green thumb required!

Step into Christopher Griffin’s urban oasis, a Brooklyn apartment that’s home to over 160 plants and counting. As Plant Kween on Instagram, Christopher shares their love of plants as a tool for finding community, creativity, and calm in an otherwise nonstop world. For Christopher, plants also opened up a new world of self-discovery: the realization that we all deserve to be nurtured and taken care of.  

Now, Christopher shares simple steps to start your own plant fam, from finding the perfect “green gurl” for your space to troubleshooting common issues like root rot and dying leaves. 

Hands on-lessons (plus the occasional dance party) cover:

  • Assessing your home and habits to find the perfect plant for you
  • Creating a welcoming environment for plants new and old
  • Learning to interpret what your plant’s leaves, roots, and soil are telling you
  • Turning plant care into self care to release stress and self-judgement

Along the way, Christopher opens up about their personal journey, plant fails, and the tips and tricks they’ve learned along the way, especially for plant parents on a budget. 

Whether you have one plant or one hundred, this fun-filled class will give you the knowledge and skills to navigate the ups and downs of plant care with confidence. Prepare to laugh out loud, get your hands dirty, and turn your home and heart just a little bit more green!
