BlackForestBotanics

Hello! My name is Rose and my brother’s name is Tom. We are the owner/operators of Black Forest Botanics. Succulents are my “thing” and carnivorous plants are my brother’s.

This is a new “passion project” for us. Started during the pandemic, but dreamed about for a few years now.

We are proudly a gardening family. On both sides of our family, our Grandmother’s 👵🏻 were skilled gardeners. Our Mother has curated a beautiful, all native garden in Missouri. Some of our Uncles and Aunts are skilled farmers. It was just destined that we got some Green Thumb Genes 🧬 passed down along the line.

I really was just experimenting with gardening in the beginning. You know, just gardening here and there when I had time. Then I started making time. Then it became my happy place.
I started in Florida, with Florida native plants, and my own backyard veggie garden. I came to realize that not only did I love the process of “gardening” but I was good at it. I moved to California and really “found” succulents. That’s when the love turned to perhaps what one could call an obsession 🤷🏻‍♀️😝
My brother came out to California first (he is the elder sibling), and yes, his little sister followed along. He found carnivorous plants, and has become quite the household (at least our household 😏😉) expert.
My obsession has reached a whole new level and I now live in Succulent Land (AKA... my apartment).

We constantly have new items coming out, so make sure to favorite our shop in order to stay tuned in, for more unique items, and of course, more puns! We’re rooting for you! 😏😉🌱
