Sarah Cole: Music & Plants

Sarah Cole is a musician, and much of her time is spent giving violin and viola lessons to kids. In addition to being passionate about music, Sarah loves plants. Her home practically looks like a greenhouse. 

Her plant collection is a major talking point for all the people that come into her home, and it even helps ease her students' nerves. 

“So as soon as they come in the door, they're greeted by all these plants. They're immediately distracted by being a little nervous for their violin or viola lesson.”

Many plants in Sarah’s collection she’s had for years. In a way, they’ve been growing with her and her husband throughout their lives. 

One of Sarah’s favorite parts about her plants is being able to share them with others. She’s always giving away cuttings as gifts to people who visit. 

“A lot of people think you either have a green thumb or a black thumb, but it's just trial and experiment…and figure out what plants work best for your lifestyle, and it's really nice to share them with other people.”
