We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Cameo Konfrst a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Cameo, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Let’s kick things off with your mission – what is it and what’s the story behind why it’s your mission?
At Sage Planta, our mission to provide high-quality plant care products made with organic ingredients, which is deeply rooted in our passion for plants and our commitment to a sustainable future. Our story begins with a simple but powerful belief that plants play a vital role in our lives and in the health of our planet. We understand that the well-being of plants goes hand in hand with our own well-being, and that’s why our mission is so meaningful to us.
Sage Planta is driven by the desire to offer plant lovers a better choice, one that aligns with their values of environmental stewardship and sustainable living. By providing clean, safe, and eco-friendly products, we empower plant owners to nurture their green friends in a way that promotes health and longevity.
So, our mission at Sage Planta is not just a tagline; it’s a genuine reflection of our core values, our passion for plants, and our belief that we can make a plant care accessible, easy and sustainable for everyone. Plants make us happy, so let’s make them happy too!
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
The inspiration for Sage Planta can be traced back to my personal journey as a dedicated plant enthusiast. Plants were such a significant part of my childhood, it only felt natural to have them around as an adult. When friends and family started asking for advice, I began researching products on the market and drawing from my generational plant knowledge. I realized that many conventional plant care products on the market contained harmful chemicals that not only posed risks to people’s plants but also had people brining harmful products into their homes. This realization was a turning point, motivating me to create Sage Planta and make a difference.
So 2017, I took the leap and utilized my green thumb to create an organic plant care spray, which eventually expanded into an entire plant care line. I think this is one aspect that sets Sage Planta apart from other brands that have more recently popped up. We were ahead of the curve with our vested interest in organic plant care and our attention to customer satisfaction. Our products come with easy-to-follow instructions and support resources, making plant care accessible and enjoyable for beginners and seasoned plant lovers alike. Ahead of the plant boom of 2020 Sage Planta products have been invested in providing organic and non-toxic remedies from my door to yours since the beginning. They are proven in homes, tested in labs, and made simple for care.
When I’m not working on developing new products or fulfilling orders, I spend my time chasing my son around the house, exploring the PNW and enjoying delicious food with my husband.
