Megan’s passion for plants was sparked by one, small succulent – a gift from her university flatmates. After graduating, she further developed her knowledge of plants while working at Walberton Nursery, and today she combines her love of plants with digital storytelling, helping to inspire young people to explore houseplants through social media and content creation.
Megan is committed to helping other young people working in horticulture. For the past two years she has volunteered as Social Media Manager for the Young People in Horticulture Association (YPHA), helping to connect and support young professionals in the industry. “Now”, she says, “I want to take my passion a step further – raising awareness of how houseplants can provide comfort, routine and mental well-being for teenagers struggling with stress and anxiety.”
Megan, 27, hopes her garden will provide inspiration to other young people. “I want to show that caring for plants is an accessible and rewarding activity for people of all ages, not just a pastime for older generations.”
Creating an exhibit on the scale of Neo Flora is a huge undertaking. While Megan has secured partial funding, she would welcome additional support from businesses and individuals to help cover the cost of plants, materials and logistics.
