You Can Always Come Home Again
When people ask Shayla Owodunni why she loves plants so much, her answer always starts at home.

But when a need to feel at home in Seattle brought a few plants into her apartment, it was the start of something big. Now back home in Minnesota, the former accountant-turned-business-consultant and chief creative behind The Plant Penthouse has turned her loft-style condo into a verdant escape all her own.
