How We Sprouted

Hey, I'm Dave the curator and operator of Proppy!

Growing up in Maryland, I was always drawn to the outdoors and knew I wanted to do something involving nature. After obtaining my degree in Landscape Management and Sustainability from the University of Maryland, I started my career in the Green industry installing and maintaining green roofs and living walls. This began my fascination of hydroponics. And where I realized I was over the winters. 

After flocking to Florida, I started my own landscaping business that focused on using more sustainable practices. After ten years, I finally decided to step away from landscaping so I could focus full time on my hobby (now business) of hydroponic growing. 

Proppy was founded in 2024. The goal is simple, help everyone gain their green thumbs. And I truly believe the easiest way is through plant propagations and utilizing hydroponic techniques. 

Hope to see you at a market or workshop in the future! Let's swap cuttings!

Fun Fact: The name Proppy comes from a combination of propagation and my daughter's name Poppy. If you follow us on social media or have seen us at a pop-up, you've probably met her!
