Who We Are
Victoria Kinsella

Founder
Victoria fell in love with this industry as a young girl when her father started this business in 1981.
She lovingly remembers cleaning the plants with milk and water back in the day. Even though she became a financial planner after receiving her bachelor's degree in Finance from FIU in Miami, she returned to the plant industry because of her passion for nature, decor and the smiles it brings to everyone's face. Her father went on to creating businesses in Spain and Costa Rica leaving her in charge of the South Florida locations where she reinvented the business to include Holiday Decor and Monthly Orchid Arrangements. Two of her father's original clients still have plant maintenance programs with us after more than 40 years.
Beyond her work, Victoria finds joy in spending time with her husband, her children, grandchildren and their beloved dog, Willow. After marrying her husband, a contractor originally from Ireland, she benefits from travel to Ireland every year to visit family and surrounding European countries where she is inspired to bring back new ideas in art, nature, and design to her business in South Florida. Through Victoria’s Plant Designs, she continues to share her passion, helping clients create breathtaking green spaces that inspire and rejuvenate.
