My Story

Hello! I’m Kristy Cruz, plant-lover, military spouse, mom of three, and founder of The Succulent Studio.

I’ve fallen in love with succulents for their endless variety, resilience, and low-maintenance. (You don’t need a green thumb to keep these babies alive!) Succulents can add so much beauty to your home and make the perfect gift for any occasion.

Here at The Succulent Studio, I share my passion with others through thoughtfully-designed arrangements and fun, hands-on workshops. I live and work in Olympia, Washington, where you can find me in my greenhouse or out thrifting up-cycled containers, like disco balls, driftwood, and shells.

I’m so glad you’re here!

We’re dedicated to:

  • Sourcing the highest quality succulents we can find, including unique varieties you won’t find elsewhere.

  • Making sure your succulents thrive for years to come by combining plants with similar needs, using specialty soil, and providing easy-to-follow care instructions.

  • Nurturing community through hands-on workshops that bring people together in a fun, laidback environment.

Let’s keep in touch!
