'My passion grew for nurturing and styling cacti and houseplants I was dubbed by friends a "crazy cactus lady" and I wanted to share my enthusiasm for the happiness and wellbeing aspects that houseplants can bring to my community, and through that Hi Cacti was born. In 2015 I began Hi Cacti, a botanical boutique and online shop an independent and female run ‘cactus concept shop’ that specializes in easy care indoor plants, southwestern home decor, and curated botanical art & gifts. Hi Cacti's goal is to radiate the Mexican sentiment of ‘mi casa es su casa’ to our customers and community not just in our shop, but through our events and classes as well. At the heart of the business is a passion to share our enthusiasm for the benefits that nature and caring for these green healing houseplants can bring to our wellbeing and we believe that cultivating plants is an accessible way for customers to connect to the natural world into our everyday lives as plants really do make us happy.'

'I can be found working in-store in Brighton welcoming customers into our sunny little urban jungle sharing plant tips and our love of desert plants and houseplants with my trusty little dachshund dog at my side or making plant pots in my workshop.'
