MARIA FAILLA is a New York based "plant killer turned happy plant lady" on a mission to make the world a kinder and greener place by helping everyone successfully care for houseplants. A former Broadway performer, Maria now uses her voice to help her community of thousands of "plant friends" care for plants successfully, grow their indoor jungles, and cultivate more joy in their lives through the Bloom and Grow Radio Podcast, Youtube Channel and Garden Party Community Platform. Maria's passion for plants has been featured by Access Live, Good Morning America, Refinery 29, Apartment Therapy, The Washington Post, and TimeOut New York. Plants, and the lessons that have come from caring for them, have been the single most impactful wellness tool in Maria's life, and she hopes Growing Joy helps empower others to experience the incredible shifts that come from reconnecting with nature and yourself and to stay curious and always growing.
