The Dirt Witch of Wollaston

Hey there, fellow plant lover!

I'm Janine, and plants have been my anchor through life's ups and downs. What started as a love for growing things became something essential - a daily practice that grounds me, centers me, and reminds me that growth is always possible, even in difficult seasons.

There's real science behind why plants make us feel better. They clean our air, reduce stress hormones, and give us purpose through daily care rituals. But there's also something deeper - a connection to life cycles, to resilience, to the quiet magic of watching something thrive under your care.

Based in Wollaston, I believe in sharing plant knowledge and resources with our local community. Whether you're finding me on Facebook Marketplace or at a local pop-up, my goal is the same: helping people build meaningful connections with their plants.
