History
I'm often asked how I got into plants, and where the name October Violet comes from. Insert extreme exhaustion from a decade long career, personal and professional struggles resulting in mental and emotional hardships, plants became a natural calm I gravitated towards. Polishing and trimming leaves, watering and checking the soil, re-potting and re-styling spaces with plants, it was a peaceful and healthy outlet. I found so much passion and fulfillment learning about and sharing my love for plants. I aim to create something my children and my supportive husband are proud of, and something fellow plants lovers are proud to support. Every October, I'm grateful for another year around the sun. Every day, I'm grateful my daughter Violet encouraged me to open a plant store. October Violet was created as the result of so many things, but most importantly, the result of Peace, Love, and Plants. - Heather Pratt, CEO and Founder of October Violet, LLC.
