About Swell

Swell Plants is a plant shop run by Farmville local Dawne Stirling, a mom-turned plant consultant.

Once the director of a Seattle childcare center, then a professional mom — Dawne has been a lifelong, devoted gardener, attuned to the special language of plants.

In 2022, Dawne turned her caretaking instincts greenward, offering her houseplants at the local community market in Farmville, VA, every Saturday.

Passionate about the relationship between humans and nature, she believes in the mutual respect between people and plants, and in the lessons that plants can teach us. She happily provides personalized care instructions so that your plant can thrive — for mutual flourishing.
