All y'all on the #greggivesbacksquad are so amazing and kind ^^ you all are so helpful and willing to help everyone out whenever you have the time <3 and everyone else has been really nice too •v•
I'd like to enter please :>
I'd like to enter please :>
@ExecAudreyficus aww your so sweet:))))
How am I going to tag all of you? I'd be afraid of leaving someone out on accident and hurting someone's feelings! All of you are awesome! Who else is going to listen to me talk ad nauseam about every little thing my plants do? I've grown to care for all you guys and the fact that we share the love of plants is just a bonus ❣️❣️❣️
@princesspitstop I feel the same. There’s no way I can only choose one of you! Luckily I’ve won already so I don’t have to. Lol.
@ILoveMyPlants who are some of the folks in #TheThread? You've gotta tag someone. 😉
@princesspitstop gotta tag SOMEONE so you can enter. (: Who was the first person that helped you? 😁
@GreenPurpose LOVE THIS! Thank you for following the directions. 😉 I wish I could pin your response to the top!!
@sarah10orio Some of the people in the thread hmm @stillsarrah is one of our older members. @mr @Hoyaobsessed she’s a newbie and the host of the thread @TheConservator who graciously hosts the whole show. Sorry if I forgot I’m terrible with user names . Oh I really miss @ And the gate keeper when I arrived #GregGang @Seymour who is genuinely missed he was an awesome person.
@sarah10orio 🤣🤣🤣
@TidyTigerpear for super awesome and having the most beautiful succulents, plus her dedication to keeping #whatthesuccwednesday alive 💖
@vvvelo for his knowledge about plants and the truly world class succulents 💚
@vvvelo for his knowledge about plants and the truly world class succulents 💚
There are soo many that deserve to be tagged. But im going to tag @stephonicle for always being helpful on the Q&A section of greg. But also for the great giveaways she occasionally does, like the one i just WON A GREG MUG😍 in. #greggivesback #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #GregGang #TheThread
What a nice idea.
I guess for me, it's @TheConservator with his efforts to create a reliable daily little corner within Greg for coffee, plants, and just everything else.

@MusicalRedmint thank you! Ofc you and so many others at #TheThread were an option but i wanted to keep it at 1 person and @stephonicle had jyst sent that awesome mug🙏 so i figured she was the obvious choice. But thank you all! 🥰
Yay for #GregGivesBackGiveaway again!!! 🥳🥰 I’m a fortunate past winner 🏆 but I can nominate, right? I’d say @TheConservator He’s been putting #TheThread together each day and it’s always a pleasure to tune in and see what everyone’s up to 🙌
@Lifeis2short @vvvelo awesome plant Sharing people 🌿
@sarah10orio My bad ☺️ it would have to be my IRL plant gangster girls @RealSimpleMama and @PrizedShadscale that I met on Greg and in real life!! I look up to both of you. Not only because of your extensive plant knowledge but because both of you chose careers where giving selflessly to others was on top of your list of job duties. You ladies inspire me and I'm so proud of both of you 💖
@princesspitstop THIS IS GREAT!! I love IRL plant friends!
@sarah10orio I forgot one don't enter me twice! 🤣 I have to throw in one more! @Prentyce Can't forget this girly! She is not just a drop of sunshine she's the whole dang SUN!! 🌞☀️ As well as every ones biggest cheerleader and greatest Hype Girl ever!! 🥰
I am tagging @TheConservator duh no brainer !! He does the morning #TheThread and I have been with him along the way watching it grow! His time and diligence is appreciated by the 116 members !! It has been a game changer for Greg for me! Positive and not just about plants it’s about everything !! It’s a safe place and I look at it every morning and chime in coffee in hand !! The year (maybe more now) I’ve been on Greg I have came to get to know several cool plant collectors!! Some other tags of people id love to meet in person and geek out on plants would be …. @MusicalRedmint @princesspitstop @MariansOasis @Prentyce @Prentyce …… 💚
@JungleDreamer Nancy is awesome…I love her explanations to everyone and she’s just a super nice person! Always makes me smile, and even laugh out loud!
Maisie @LaBori276 #LaBori276 is a fantastic plant mom 😍 She and I supposedly have total opposite climates, but have some the same plants 🤣 She makes you feel like you’re chatting on the phone with a friend 😁, and is more personable than just providing an answer to a question.

@Hoyaobsessed welp! I just followed #TheThread! I haven't been super active, but I've heard so much about #TheThread i need to check it out!
@SillyPlantGirl that's what I love to read! 😁
@DesertGreen I love this! This is what Greg is all about!
@GreenPurpose she always has a tip or experience that can help, and gives a friend vibe while sharing😁 @SuperbRaspfern
@sarah10orio nice !! Now 117 members 😂😆😃 really good group!! So much knowledge and always positive. Hard to find that nowadays.
@DesertGreen you are spot on. Her response to my plant support question was off the charts!! @SuperRaspfern we are talking behind your back 🤣🤣🤣
And, @SuperbRaspfern is another plant mom that deserves recognition for the time and effort she puts in to personable replies and posts. It’s like chatting with a nursery owner, who you’ve known for a couple of years 💚
@sarah10orio it really does feel like friends. I’ve checked out other plant tracking apps, but the whole community vibe is what makes Gregg really stand above the others 🤩
@GreenPurpose Lol
@DesertGreen @GreenPurpose
You two are making my heart melt. 🩷 It's really sweet of you both, it's just a pleasure to help. Thank you both for just being you!!! 💚

@Hoyaobsessed 💖 It would only be a short road trip!! 😁🥰
I would be remiss if I didn’t include @TheConservator in my top 3. Is there anything he can’t grow?
😁
You might expect him to be all superior acting, but he sincerely likes all of the #GregGang 😍 #TheThread is his fantastic way of spotlighting members’ accomplishments everyday! As if that wasn’t already giving up so much time, he replies to every post on #TheThread . There’s a reason he nominated a couple of times, and he deserves it 🤩

@TheConservator Right?! Awesome! @stephonicle
@SuperbRaspfern Aww, now you’re making my heart melt 😍 You are incredible 💚
@princesspitstop I know but I don’t drive in the interstate right now .
The first person I think of, and there are lots, is @YammieOf3. She's so helpful and encouraging and really the embodiment of the Greg community!
@Hoyaobsessed 💚 Same! 🙌 Would love to meet up in person with you & @MusicalRedmint @princesspitstop @Prentyce too!! Plus @RealSimpleMama @PrizedShadscale @stephonicle @SweetAzurebluet @Preciousplants1 @CourtlyKingfern and more whose tags I can’t think of!!🤪 At the moment!! 😵💫
@sarah10orio great #giveaway post topic! 😀
@TheConservator aw shucks, thanks Sonny! ☺️ I'm glad so many folks are mentioning your name, and every bit of their praise is well deserved. You're what makes the Greg community feel like an actual, genuine community! 🥰

@SunSoilLove awe I love this ! Super kind Donna !!! 😝
@SuperbRaspfern I’m tagging you for the give away. You have a heart of gold. You’ve been very kind and patient with me. I have learned so much from you. You have taught me about soil, pissed, fertilizer, food, and most of all we’ve become friends. You have shared with me I have shared with you some of the things that life has thrown at us. I love you. You are my Bestie
So many amazing people! I adore my lovelies @princesspitstop @PrizedShadscale of course. @TheConservator has been super generous and kind. I also want to add @Propa @theoddasity for being so great in helping me with my plant cabinet.
@MariansOasis You are an absolute doll 💖 I would love that 🥹
@Hoyaobsessed We'll have to think of something. 😉That would be so fun to meet up! Someone needs to arrange a Greg family reunion! Kinda like PlantCon but for our Greg family. 😁
@Preciousplants1 I truly love you 🩷 Sherri. We will be friends and sisters for life, you mean so much to me. I couldn't be more thankful that we have found friendship here. I was just telling my family yesterday how I have made so many wonderful friends here. I honestly didn't know that was possible to do through words on the phone on an app.
But, beyond plants, I have learned that friendship can come along in many ways. I have been truly blessed to make friends, who I truly feel are there for me and care as much as I care for them. You my friend are one of those precious people in my life. Who God sent when we both needed it. Sending you love and hugs! 🩷🤗

I would like to nominate @JungleDreamer for having amazing descriptions of things and stories that make me smile 😆
@sarah10orio i saw you joined our little group so i added you to the morning tags. 🙌
@Preciousplants1 I love you girl. My sister in Christ💖 I am so grateful for Greg giving me the opportunity to become friends with you. Plant people are a different breed. Loving, kind and unpretentious with the biggest hearts you'll ever have the chance to meet. @SuperbRaspfern I can't forget you either ❤️ You're my girl!! The extent of your knowledge amazes me and on top of that you're a sweetheart!! I'm so glad that we had the chance to show each other some love tonight. Thanks @sarah10orio for putting this together! 💖
@princesspitstop Love you too Heidi! You really are a great kind soul and I am blessed to know you and have you as a friend 🩷
@princesspitstop same to you Heidi @SuperbRaspfern @TheConservator @MariansOasis @Hoyaobsessed I’ve grown closer to you guys and I thank God for the opportunity to have met you all🙏🏽to know you aaawb😢shucks I’m getting all sentimental. lol I’ll be the 1st to admit I’m a big cry baby lol Good night my friends
@RealSimpleMama your cabinet turned out awesome too!🥰 Greg’s full of so many amazing people this is a hard one isn’t it😂 how about @sarah10orio for generously hosting all these givvys🫶
@Preciousplants1 💚 to you Sherri! Be as sentimental as you like!! It shows how much you care! 🤗🤗🤗
My vote goes hands down to @TheConservator he has single handedly started #TheThread , not only is he funny and entertaining and sends out a post every morning early, very early. He gives us not only advice but encouragement. I cannot say enough about what he’s daily posts mean to all of us !
Ty🥰 @Ms.Persnickety
@Ms.Persnickety but im not sure how helpful i am lol. I TRY🤷♂️😂! But i always say i dont know anything i just grow stuff lol. Half the time i dont even have a clue😂
Definitely @TheConservator has made me feel seen and part of the group. I’m always entertained and educated by his posts 💕
@SillyPlantGirl Thank you so much for the shoutout, Catherine! 💚 Honestly, the real prize isn’t being mentioned it’s knowing my rambling plant tales could make your day a little brighter. If I can hand out a smile or two while my plants throw their daily tantrums, that’s the best harvest I could ask for.
@Uzi Squirrel!! Thank youuu Being tagged is sweet, but the real reward is hearing my silly plant stories actually made you smile. If a runaway vine or a diva Monstera meltdown can brighten your day, then hey that’s better than any giveaway box. 😆
@sarah10orio Honestly, the real gift is this community itself. Y’all are the true jungle Hoyas teaching us patience, cacti proving resilience with a side of sass, pothos showing how to thrive anywhere, and monsteras reminding us that a little drama makes life fun. Every single one here is already a prize to me ….the way we cheer, laugh, and grow together is the sunshine that keeps me going. Giveaway or not, the biggest win is being surrounded by this greenhouse of legends. @SillyPlantGirl @Uzi @SuperbRaspfern @Ms.Persnickety @RealSimpleMama @Preciousplants1 @princesspitstop @TheConservator @AwesomePlants @LaLaslovlies @stephonicle @SunSoilLove @GrowFriend @Araceae @Idplantthat @BuffCaperspurge Keep shining, keep rooting for each other this place is pure joy!
@HappySelah25 well ty🙏 you all make my day by participating. Im glad youve joined in on our little experiment🙌
@BuffCaperspurge i dont think its a choice. Just s random spin like usual 🤷♂️ 🤔??😂
The first person who helped me was @elisenavidad I remember, that it was my first time on Greg, and my first plant. I was so confused because Greg kept saying she was a Jade pothos but then would switch and say she was a golden pothos. I was so frustrated and annoyed and I felt a little awkward posting it because I didn’t know if that was normal or not, but then Elise answered and she didn’t tell me which one it was but she described in detail about each one, and then told me that it’s okay if I didn’t get it perfectly right and that she would be confused too because my plant had a variegated leaf. I just felt so validated and cared for that someone I didn’t know at all would take the time too care about me… Thank you @elisenavidad maybe you don’t remember it but I will remember for about long time to come❤️🥹🥹
@Plantlover2812 this is seriously such a sweet post and you’ve made my day! I do remember this & im not sure I could give you a definite answer to this day!! You’re so welcome & im glad we were able to connect 🤍
&& thank you for remembering me!! 😭
&& thank you for remembering me!! 😭
@TheresaLee is my nominee! She’s so encouraging and supportive!
I understand that this is over, but I wanted to express my sincere gratitude to @JungleDreamer, @princesspitstop, @Boymom-plantmom, @TheConservator, @stephonicle, @Prentyce, @MariansOasis, @LaLaslovlies, @Preciousplants1, @SuperbRaspfern, @SweetAzurebluet, @HappySelah25, and @BuffCaperspurge. Your unwavering support and kindness have made a significant impact on my day, and I truly appreciate your efforts. Thank you for being such amazing individuals! 🤩
@Idplantthat Awee you are amazing and I’ve really enjoyed this journey and interacting with great people like you 💕
@Idplantthat ☺️☺️☺️☺️
@Idplantthat ☺️💖 I'm so glad that we met. You are a precious soul 💞💞
@princesspitstop, I completely agree with you! I feel the same way about you! 🥰 I’m so grateful to have you as my other plant buddy! I feel incredibly fortunate and blessed to be a part of such a fun, creative online community. 🤣
@BuffCaperspurge I just wanted to step in here to clarify, and I hope she doesn't mind me speaking on her behalf, but @SuperbRaspfern is a woman ☺️
@BuffCaperspurge oh sweetie, don't you go anywhere!! These things happen on the ole internet when we don't have face to face interaction. I thought @Araceae was a female for the longest time, turns out "she" was actually a teenage boy! (Sorry..."young man" lol). When we're online and often only have limited info, our brains subconsciously fill in the gaps. You really didn't make too big of a leap there, being that Shannon is also a man's name and her profile photo doesn't have any indicators pointing to one gender or the other.
I feel bad that I said anything, I certainly wasn't trying to embarrass you 🥺 I thought it was funny! And I'll once again take liberties to speak on Shannon's behalf when I say that I bet she finds it amusing as well 😛
I really hope you don't leave the app. You're a big part of this community, and you'd be missed ❤️

@stephonicle @BuffCaperspurge heheh i just avoid those pronouns XD
@stephonicle @BuffCaperspurge
Thanks Steph for bringing it up, I just felt bad too. When I first got on here I thought honestly that I would help a few people and share my knowledge.
I never imagined I would become part of a plant family. Because that's what it feels like a plant family with many people I now hold close to my heart and consider friends and sisters! 💕
So, in the beginning I just never felt comfortable correcting people if they thought I was a man because, it really didn't matter to me.
In time things changed and I started to build friendships, not just friendships but I started to genuinely care about all of you. That's something I never thought possible on an app. But, well... it happened. Then I reached a point when people like Tacy, who I consider a wonderful friend. Those people assumed I was a man.
Which I'm not surprised about. I am quite straightforward and to the point. Sometimes I say things in a way that is quite direct. Just like a man. I was always a tomboy and I guess that carried over in adulthood. I am married to my hubby with 2 children. But I am in no way a girlie girl. No makeup, I comb my hair after a shower and put it up in a bun or ponytail. Wear the same shorts and tank tops day after day. (I'm sure my neighbors think I must be homeless). I lift weights and and am a bonifide, do it myself type gal.
Even my jobs were manly. I worked in the hanger of an airline surrounded by greasy dudes. It was the best job ever! I handled all the aircraft parts and lifted airplane tires. Tying down engines to drive on road trips in a huge truck called Big White and being one of the only ones that could do so while also handling the forklift.
So, it was not surprised at all that people thought I was a man. But after time I felt bad about it like I was doing something wrong. I'm sorry Tacy it was my fault I should have spoke up. ❤️
I felt guilty to correct because I didn't want to embarrass or hurt feelings. Because to make them sad also made me feel sad. 😢
So, Tacy please know from the bottom of my heart that I genuinely care about you. I don't want to lose you as a friend. I would be devastated if you left here.
You are one of the reasons I love this app! I wake up check my app and see messages and it makes me smile when it's you!!! You need to stay, we both do. Not only so we can keep being friends. But to be an example that mistakes can happen and embarrassment, trust me I'm embarrassed too. Which is actually funny because nobody but you and I will even care!! 😂 But we can be an example that even through all the feelings we have, we can make it through and come out the other side stronger than ever.
Love you my friend sending love hugs and hope that we will talk very soon! 🩷🤗

@SuperbRaspfern beautifully put Shannon!! 🫶 Thank you. And I'm genuinely sorry to both of you for butting in when it wasn't any of my business nor my place to correct anything. Sometimes I just need to keep my big ole mouth shut 🤐
@stephonicle I honestly do not mind. I had wanted to correct this for a while. But just felt bad to. Hopefully Tacy will be back soon, she is a wonderful person and a good friend. It may just take some time. You really did not do anything wrong. And you don't have a big mouth! You're a sweetheart with really good intentions. 🩷
Hi all!
I know that this contest is over. But, just wanted to mention some remarkable folks who have retired from Greg... @JenniB81...@Seymour.
We miss you, thank you, and hope all is well. 🤗🎆✨😍
