Dorrington Reid A 32-year-old senior merchandising manager for Old Navy who lives in the Church-Wellesley Village “I’ve always loved plants, but my obsession started after I relocated to Vancouver seven years ago. I was inspired by all the lush nature around me and wanted to bring it indoors. When I moved back to Toronto two years ago, I kept up the hobby—plants really do change the way you live. I’ve become a more nurturing person. I’m also a minimalist, which sounds crazy to people who know how many plants I have. But my 500-square-foot condo is really clean and simple, and without the plants it would be an empty white shell. I like to layer plants with different foliage and colours together, and I love how vining plants look trailing over a simple shelf.”
