About
A lifetime of plant expertise
Randy Meyer, founder of Tropiflora, has had a lifelong love affair with plants, and he enjoys sharing his knowledge and passion with clients, helping them bring the benefits of the natural world indoors.
Born and raised in a small Wisconsin town, Randy grew up with a deep appreciation for gardening. There were always plants and flowers in their home and his parents extensive gardens were his hands-on classroom. Randy studied horticulture and floriculture (flowering and ornamental crops) at the University of Wisconsin. As a student, he was selected to design and plant the ornamental gardens on campus.
After college, Randy moved to Portland, Oregon and worked for a wholesale grower of tropical plants and went on to manage an interior plantscaping company. He later became the head gardener for a thirteen-acre botanical garden.
His interest in tropical plants eventually drew him to Hawaii where he owned a woodworking business and worked with the native flora as caretaker for a three-acre property.
Randy and his family have called Fort Collins home since 1998 where he started Tropiflora in 2007. He blends his plant care experience with a study of emerging worldwide research which demonstrates the many measurable health benefits of having plants in the home or workplace. His knowledge and expertise are unique, valuable resources for the Northern Colorado region.
