Rooted Letters
Read the Letters
A slow, honest look behind the scenes of Nurture + Leaf.
Plant care grounded in science.
Sustainable practices rooted in experience.
And the unfolding story of building a nursery from the ground up.
Meet the matriarch
I’m Brie — a plant grower, mother, and the founder of Nurture + Leaf.
This space is where I share what doesn’t fit inside a reel:
the why behind the methods, the science behind terracotta and soil, and the quiet work of building a sustainable nursery while raising two small humans.
If you’re here for plant care that honors how plants actually grow — and for a slower, more intentional way of doing business — you’re in the right place.
In these letters, I share:
• Plant care rooted in real horticultural principles — not trends
• Why materials like terracotta behave the way they do
• Seasonal rhythms, soil health, and environmental context
• Sustainable practices that prioritize longevity over convenience
• Reflections from building a licensed nursery from home
This is not “quick tips.” It’s the deeper understanding that makes care intuitive.
Nurture + Leaf wasn’t born in a greenhouse — it started at a kitchen table.
Between nap schedules, soil tests, and hand-scrubbed pots, this business is being built slowly, intentionally, and with care for both the plants and the people tending them.
These letters are an invitation to follow that process as it unfolds — to see what’s being built before it’s finished, and to learn alongside me.

the most meaningful things are built slowly, with intention.
If that resonates, I’d love to have you here.
