Hilton Carter is on a mission to change the way the world thinks about plants. After working as a filmmaker, Hilton discovered the power of plants in Glen Mills, Pennsylvania, while filming a commercial. Since then, he’s incorporated lots of greenery into his living spaces all over America, including Los Angeles, New Orleans, and now Baltimore, where he has just completed a home renovation that includes a sun-filled room specifically for his flora. With three books and a major product collaboration with Target under his belt, Hilton has become Instagram’s go-to plant doctor, sharing care tips alongside images of Treezus, his now Insta-famous fiddle-leaf fig tree. Today he also runs his own content and e-commerce site, where he shares his art and product recommendations. Listen in as we glean some inside knowledge from the ultimate plant parent and hear Hilton’s insight on how we can all live beautifully with plants.
