About
Melanie Azcuna | Proprietor
In March of 2018, my daughter came to me one Sunday afternoon and asked if she too had a green thumb like her mother. This led to a trip to the garden center at Home Depot. It was amazing to find a way to bond with her that did not involve the internet or TV. After an afternoon of gardening with my daughter, I was inspired to share this love of plants with others. Originally, I got into plants back in the Philippines while still in High School with my own mother. One of my daily tasks was tending to her garden, a collection of well over 100 plants. Now I am super excited to open my Atelier at the Bonita Professional Center and offer a place for others to find their own love and connection to plants.
Stephanie Becerra | Atelier Manager
All my life I have felt an incredible connection to nature. I remember purposely going the long way to my friend’s house so I could pass a wall covered in bougainvillea and take in its beautiful bright colors and delicate flowers. I have always had a sense of awareness that the plants I enjoyed, enjoyed my presence just as much. Plants and people are connected, and together we thrive. I am extremely passionate about environmental sustainability, conservation, and restoration. My goal is to work with companies and organizations that bring plants and people together. The world is filled with so much magic and I believe plants are one of the most magical things on this planet. I believe if we can strengthen the connection we have with plants, we can strengthen the connection we have with the rest of the planet. With this connection, we can love and protect the place we call home. I have a degree in Environmental Science and diverse experience working with plants and people. I want to take everything I have learned thus far and apply it into making the world a greener, healthier, and happier place for all its inhabitants. I am incredibly excited to work with The House of Plants and help bring real plants and real people together.
