Mary Rose Amoresano

Mary Rose Amoresano sees taking care of houseplants as a kind of meditation and finds daily inspiration from the green world. Born and raised in New Jersey, the Garden State, some of her earliest memories include watching her mother propagate spider plants and grow a vegetable garden in their backyard. Amoresano earned a degree in English from Clemson University, where she focused on writing and publications studies. She works in book sales and lives in a houseplant-filled apartment in Jersey City.
