David Pearce Email and Phone Number
With over 15 years of experience in communicating with individuals and communities about mental health and the natural environment, I founded Art Meets Plants in January 2023. Art Meets Plants is a business that offers mindfulness workshops that combine creative, mindful, and enjoyable activities with indoor plants. My mission is to provide a supportive and enjoyable environment to practice mindfulness skills through the challenging experiences presented by artistic indoor plant creation, while also nurturing practical tools for improved mental health and well-being outside of the workshop.As the Founder and Director of Art Meets Plants, I leverage my qualifications and expertise in botany, environmental science, economics, and social science to design and deliver workshops that blend nature, self-expression, and community. I also host, curate, and speak at events that promote mental health awareness, culture change, and ecological literacy. I am passionate about helping people discover the benefits of connecting with plants, art, and themselves.
