During the COVID-19 pandemic, an unprecedented interest in houseplants took root as people sought to nurture their indoor spaces. Forrest Schrader embraced this movement, transforming her personal passion for plants into Lost in the Forrest<\/a>, a business that began in her spare bedroom.

At the time, Forrest was an elementary school special education teacher, weaving her love for education into teaching others about plant care. Five years later, Lost in the Forrest is a thriving ecommerce business and plant shop in St. Louis Park, Minnesota. While she\u2019s no longer in the classroom, education remains at the heart of her business as she helps customers become confident, successful plant owners while fostering a community built on a shared love for plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
