Brand Story
Glam Gardener NYC began with a simple mission: to reconnect people with nature through the healing properties of wild and organic plants. It started as an Instagram page with no intention of becoming a business.
As a Staten Island (NYC) native, Aly noticed a disconnect between urban life and the natural world. She wanted to bring the benefits of nature to her local community.
What began as a small personal project during the pandemic, soon grew into a business that celebrates the seasonal beauty of wildflowers, herbs, and plants that thrive in the Northeast.
Glam Gardener combines education, fun, and nature in all offerings.
