It’s hard to believe that it’s been one full year since we started Blue Thistle Succulent Bar! This journey has been filled with amazing experiences, genuine friendships, and the delightful aroma of thriving plants. With our first birthday approaching, I want to reflect on our incredible path, express our heartfelt thanks to loyal customers, and share our vision for the future.
A Year Full of Growth
Looking back on our first year, I feel immense pride. Over the course of twelve months, we achieved over 500 sales! Each sale represents an opportunity to connect with fellow plant lovers and share our passion for succulents. The joy of seeing someone’s face light up when they find the perfect plant never grows old.
From small window sill plants to striking centerpieces, we’ve provided a varied selection of succulents catering to all tastes. We’ve seen how customers turn simple spaces into green sanctuaries. For example, a customer transformed her kitchen counter with a vibrant jade plant and a string of pearls, which has brightened her entire space. It’s this community enthusiasm that motivates us every day.
Collaborating with Local Businesses
A highlight of our year has been our collaborations with local businesses. We believe that supporting each other strengthens our community. From event partnerships to offering workshops, we enjoy working with local artisans and entrepreneurs to create memorable experiences.
For instance, our succulent planting workshops not only teach participants how to care for their new leafy companions but also allow us to connect with local bakers who provide sweet treats for attendees. These collaborations create unique experiences, combining creativity with the joys of plant care.
Our events attract a wide range of customers. Some are seasoned plant parents, while others are just beginning their plant journey. This rich diversity fosters wonderful conversations about plant care and sharing tips. For example, during one workshop, an experienced plant enthusiast shared her secret to keeping her succulents thriving in low light, which sparked an engaging discussion among participants.
Engaging the Plant Community
Being part of an extraordinary plant community that thrives on knowledge-sharing is essential to us. Throughout this year, I’ve been amazed by how plant enthusiasts support each other.
It has been gratifying to witness how our efforts can inspire others to embrace their love for plants. Last month, one participant gifted her first succulent to a friend, marking a beautiful moment of sharing. Connecting with fellow plant lovers has truly allowed Blue Thistle Succulent Bar to become a hub for learning and growth.
Expanding Our Products
This past year, we also expanded our product lineup. From unique pots and stylish planters to fertilizers and care kits, we strive to offer everything needed to nurture plants successfully. We maintain high-quality standards, ensuring customers have the right tools for their green companions.
Customers appreciate our transparent sourcing approach. We take pride in working with local suppliers for our materials and plants, reflecting our mission to positively contribute to our community. Each item we sell carries a story, and sharing that journey with customers enhances their appreciation for our offerings.

Looking Ahead: What’s Next?
As we enter our second year, the excitement is building. We have many ideas we can’t wait to share! Since our customers often seek plant care advice, we will be launching additional educational blog filled with tips and resources valuable for anyone eager to enhance their plant knowledge.
Additionally, we envision hosting seasonal events to celebrate our dedicated plant enthusiasts! From plant care seminars to themed decorating evenings, the possibilities are endless. We want to ensure that Blue Thistle Succulent Bar remains an inviting and dynamic place for both seasoned pros and newcomers.
Cheers to our Supportive Community!
