Hello, my name is Nyki, and I am your Oregon Plant Nanny!

I have been fascinated with house plants since I was a little girl. What’s not intriguing about a ‘Pencil Cactus’?

In the 90s, in my early twenties, I was the ‘Flower Lady’, the girl working in the flower shop saving all the tossed plants from the trash bin.

Today, you may know me as the "Plant Lady" from the plant shop in Ashland, Oregon, called Bestow.

In 2015 I opened my first Plant/Flower Shop, in Portland, Oregon, Bestow PDX.

A year later, we moved to Ashland, Oregon, and I brought my little shop concept with me. Joining forces with my potter friend, Bestow & Bloom was born. Plants, local pottery, local jewelry, no flowers.

In 2019, we had outgrown the tiny shop downtown, so my husband and I opened Bestow on the Southside.

10+ years of selling plants, talking about plants, reading about plants, listening to plant podcasts & growing my own plants.
That’s A LOT of plants!

Plants are the first thing I notice when I enter a room and I can’t help but want to help if any are struggling.
I am passionate about plants and love helping other plant lovers succeed in growing them.
