Jennifer Chu founded Green With Envy because she has a passion for all things nature related, especially plants and flowers.
Chu wants to help people create their own ‘green space’ by using locally grown greenery, reclaimed wood and re-purposed vintage containers to make each of her arrangements unique. She also adds her personal touch, which is a more West Coast influence. For her markets, she grows succulents, airplants and flowers. She wants to encourage others to learn the benefits of plants and to appreciate their beauty.
She is a certified floral designer who plans to continue teaching DIY workshops to people of all ages. Some of the popular workshops include succulent and airplant terrariums, fresh bouquets and seasonal wreaths. Chu continues to work with local artists and businesses to show off her plants and flowers.
