Most of you have met me at some point since we opened but if you haven't, HELLO!

I'm Brittany Pettinato, Owner and creator of Panhandle Exotic Plants. I am married to an Incredible man, Nate, and we have 3 young children together that many of you have seen chasing bugs or collecting flowers when you come by!

I get asked alot, "what inspired your plant journey?". I grew up greenhouse growing with my mom and dad here in Gulf Breeze, Fl. My family mostly grew citrus, herbs, vegetables, flowers, and succulents but also raised thousands of honey bees! My planty life upbringing instilled SO MUCH LOVE for sweaty greenhouse work, dirty soil filled hands, and a passion to give back to our community! Panhandle Exotic Plants is still so early on in my journey but I pray I have the opportunity very soon to give back to this beautiful town that helped raise me. Community gardens and free workshops available to the public will be just a small piece of what is to come!

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for loving and supporting my dream!
