About Me

   



About me:

Welcome! My name is Corryn, I'm a 21 year old business student. I've lived in Illinois my entire life but shortly after graduation I'll be uprooting to Tennessee. 

Some random facts about myself: 

  • I enjoy watching documentaries. 
  • My favorite food is chicken.
  • I'm a plant enthusiast.

I found my admiration for plants during the lockdown in 2020. I needed something to fill my time, a hobby if you will, to keep me entertained. I first began with little ceramic pots and a variety of flower seeds, no clue what I was doing. Shortly after discovering that I was able to grow these flowers rather than kill them, I dived a little deeper into the subject of plants. 

About My Blog:

This blog will range from many different topics, all related to plants of course, some of which will include:

  • Flowers
  • Trees
  • Gardens
  • Maintenance of house plants
  • The importance of repotting plants
  • Benefits of being a plant parent
  • Fake Plants (if all else fails)
I'll admit, I don't know everything there is to know regarding plants but I am still learning as I go, through articles, news, personal experience, advice from my mom (who has a very impressive garden). As someone who gets bored and stressed easily, I find that caring for a living thing that requires little effort is rather soothing. I hope you find some value within my blog and maybe even find some joy in taking up the hobby of planting!

Cherry Blossom Trees: Are they worth it?

Cherry Blossom Tree Growing up in my childhood home, we had a beautiful cherry blossom tree in the front yard. I’ll never forget what it looked like. No taller than 6 feet, light pink flowers, a hint of yellow in the center. They're an interesting plant to add to your collection. Few fun facts to shed a little light on the tree:         They’re a member of the rose family         They need full light and good drainage to prosper          It’s the national flower of Japan         “Sakura” is the Japanese name for cherry blossom trees         In China, these trees are symbolic for female love, passion, strength, and dominance Where did they come from? The history of this tree is an interesting one. In 1912, Japan gifted 3,000 cherry blossom trees to the U.S. as a gift of friendship. They were first planted in Washington.  Pros and Cons If you have never been near a  c...

Flower Seeds or Pre-grown Flowers

 This or That? Come Springtime, you decide it is time to go to your local garden center and restock on your outdoor flowers for your home. Do you reach for the flower seeds or the pre-grown flowers ?  Growing up, my mom would take me to the garden center at our local Home Depot to help her pick out this year's selection of flowers. Not once did we ever buy the flower seeds. Always the pre-grown flowers . I can understand why majority of people would buy the pre-grown flowers. It's easier, faster, less time consuming, and overall, just more convenient. I have a hunch that when I become a homeowner the chances are high that I will buy the pre-grown flowers instead of the seeds.  On the other hand, buying flower seeds would make me feel more accomplished. Sure, it takes longer to see the results and it requires more work, but I would look at those flowers and know that I did that all on my own. It is definitely harder to grow flowers from the seeds and there is a chance th...

Trees, Trees, and More Trees

 Willow Trees + More I don't think I know anyone else who has a favorite kind of tree. Some people have favorite trees because it has some kind of deeper importance to them. Some may even carve their initials into it. The kind of "favorite" I'm talking about is different.  I grew up in a neighborhood that was tucked away behind other neighborhoods. On the drive home we would always pass by this massive willow tree . I love how they look. The leaves flow so beautifully in the wind. I feel as though I pay more attention to trees than the average person. Cherry blossom trees, apple trees, willow trees. They are all so very different from each other, yet they are all categorized the same, as a tree. Different sizes, shapes, colors, fruits, blossoms, etc. It is very peculiar, but special at the same time.  I've mentioned other kids of trees in previous posts that provide more information, or nostalgia in my case, that I think pair well with this theme of trees.  Cherry...
