My very talented, Insta-savy friend once told me that I need actual pictures of me on my page and that I need to introduce myself. Of course, my very awkward self, cringed on the inside because 1. I feel absolutely silly taking pictures π€ͺ and 2. I feel like I am really not that interesting. π€ Luckily Annie is really good at her job and made it painless to be in front of her camera. If you ever need pictures done I, hands down, absolutely recommend her. If she can make me look good, then you are golden!
But...I digress... about that introduction. Please bear with me...
My name is Joy and I am the owner/Head Cheese in Charge at Get Me Growin'. I married my high school sweetheart, Ted, almost 20 years ago and we have three amazing children together: Joshua, Nathan, and Bella. When I am not with them you will either find me in the ocean πββοΈor in the gardenπΊ. But you're more likely to see at least one of them with me in either of these places.π
Get Me Growin' started when my fascination with succulents started about 4 years ago. I found a seller on IG who was selling Korean imports and immediately was drawn to the candy like colors and shapes of these fascinating plants. That and the fact that I only had to water them every 3-4 weeks? What? These are right up my alley! That 1 pot full of succulents I had bought in October quickly turned my house into what looked like a greenhouse by the following Spring. Ted patiently shook his head and asked when am I going to start selling them because the house is starting to look like a store. I started making/selling arrangements and having little "potting parties" with small groups of friends before I started selling at farmers markets around the area. And... here we are today! Business has grown so much these last couple of years so now that the market season will be slowing down soon we are setting some time to reorganize and restructure our brand for 2022. Stay tuned for bigger and better things! Until then... Thank you from the bottom of my heart and helping to support our small family run business. I wish you and yours many blessings this holiday season!
