CeCretriftiiefdieCPdarNtahacttLuiicmrine, gC&hHFioeorfrteUiscrtublTathnueGrriaasrptyd(eSGnGue/irAdues(tUrSaAl)ia) Cath’s childhood was spent catching cat sh in the pond and climbing trees in her school uniform in a Singapore kampong. Despite the nature induction, she spent her adult years as an urban warrior living and working in the CBD as an advertising professional jetsetting around the world for work and leisure. While she loves plants, she was also a serial-plant killer. At the peak of her career, she left her glamourous life behind her to be trained as a horticulturist to demystify her plant deaths. She also felt the calling to help urbanites recalibrate through the healing power of nature. In 2009, she set up The Plant Story - Singapore’s very rst urban gardening retailer that skillfully combines nature with therapy. She is a life-long leaner who constantly evolves herself and her o erings to serve everyone who knocks on the door of The Plant Story.
