ABOUT “PLANT KWEEN” CHRISTOPHER GRIFFIN

Christopher Griffin (He/She/They) bought their first plant in 2016 with the simple goal of brightening up their new Brooklyn apartment. They recalled the enchanting nursery trips they took with their grandmother as a child and wanted to recreate that joy. The plant was in bad shape, but they figured out how to nurse it back to life. So Griffin began to buy more, and read and research everything they could about plants.

Today, Christopher is better known as @PlantKween, a Brooklyn-based Black queer femme plant enthusiast and community builder who brings education and joy to 240k+ followers (and 160+ plants). Christopher's mission is to build a diverse online community of plant kweens, daddies, mamas and everyone in between, and share the joy, self-knowledge, and empowerment plants have brought into their life.
