Small plants.
Big questions.

Wren Sullivan, 16. I volunteer in the community greenhouse, press flowers into art, and compete in the Biology Olympiad. Currently growing: 47 houseplants and one enormous dream.

About the plant nerd

Hi, I'm Wren β€” professional plant botherer

It started with one pothos in 8th grade. Now I run the school's greenhouse volunteer shift, press a flower a day, and can name every fern in a 5-mile radius. My style: curious, careful, covered in soil.

First leaf (2023)
One pothos cutting. Named it Kevin. Kevin thrived. So did I.
Greenhouse era (2024)
Started volunteering Saturdays. Learned misting, misting schedules, and restraint at plant sales.
Science + art (2025–26)
Bio Olympiad semifinal + first craft-fair sellout. Saving for a microscope + a bigger press.

"Wren's native-plant map is now pinned in our office. Professional-grade work from a sophomore."

β€” R. Osei, City Parks Dept.

"Bought three bookmarks, came back for five frames. The ferns look alive forever."

"The greenhouse runs smoother on Wren's shift. Plants and people both thrive around them."
