For some, collecting certain objects brings a feeling of pride; for others, continuity. For Deanna Jennings, it’s tranquility. That feeling of deep calm is what drew Deanna to grow her collection of living things — plants. Raised in rural Oregon in a time before video games and computers, Deanna says her childhood was “spent playing outside in the forest.” Thinking back, she is so grateful for those magical days roaming free among the majestic trees and tip-toeing on the soft, mossy ground. Her appreciation for nature was born under a canopy of green.

While she leads a minimal lifestyle and doesn’t accumulate a lot of “stuff,” she notes that “there is always room for another plant” in her home.
