Plant Magic Miami’s founder, Melissa Markham, has been a plant lover all her life. From propagating houseplants and making tiny terrariums, to landscaping her own pollinator-friendly edible and ornamental garden, she loves her plants! She worked in Special Events at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden until she became full-time CEO of a non-profit organization she founded, Urban Oasis Project, Inc. As a Florida Master Gardener, she co-authored a book with Ginny Stibolt, published by University Press of Florida in 2013, ‘Organic Methods for Vegetable Gardening in Florida.’ The second edition of the book was published March 2023. Plant Magic Miami is her career capstone, keeping her creative spirit constantly fueled, and is the latest iteration of her botanical journey.
