The Green Muse

Do you talk to your plants? 

The answer for quite a few of you will probably be, “yes.” But Paloma Teppa’s connection with plants goes even deeper than that. Since she was seven years old, Paloma has felt that she could communicate with plants, feel what they feel. 

“I thought it was normal, but then as I got older I realized not everyone could do it, but I actually think it’s a natural thing.” 

Paloma loves her biophilic design work. She feels the beneficial effects of surrounding yourself with plants every day and gets to share that with others. 

“I know that in some way it heals, in some way it helps, in some way it transmits peace to every house it is in.” 

Shown through her work, from brewing natural teas to creating moss-filled spaces for people to enjoy, Paloma believes that our connection with them is essential to living. 

“Plants are the best therapist.”
