"Summer Rayne Oakes led the succulent-planting workshop at the Well+Good and Origins Earth Month celebration, where she insightfully spoke to two consecutive groups of 50 plant lovers about succulents, plant-care, propagation, and more. . .

Oakes patiently listened to questions and responded methodically with straightforward and easy-to-comprehend answers. Guests felt comfortable asking about plants at home with yellowing leaves, funny stalks, and potted plants growing in odd shapes. Oakes enthusiastically answered everyone’s questions for hours. Oakes is eloquent, enthusiastic, professional, and wildly knowledgeable about plants. Everyone left the workshop with a ton of valuable insight and the boosted confidence to care for their indoor plants.”
