Dear Alice | Interior Design

What if the final step to making a home feel truly finished isn’t furniture or art but plants? In this episode of Dear Alice, we sit down with Macy Lucarelli and Dane Jordan to talk about the art of designing with plants. They share how they built their fast-growing plant design business, their process for assessing a home and creating custom plant installations, and why greenery is often the missing layer in modern and contemporary interiors. From their toughest plant rescues and most challenging installs to their favorite plants (and the ones they think are overused), this episode is packed with practical advice for homeowners and designers looking to incorporate houseplants, statement trees, and planters into their spaces.
