Miguel "Mike Plants" Andrade has spent 15 years selling plants on the subway, transforming the commuting experience through his floral offerings. Operating primarily on the 1-train, he provides succulents, orchids, and trees as a form of plant therapy. Andrade’s journey began from his work in flower shops, where he discovered demand for plants among subway riders. He continues to uplift others by giving away free plants to those who seem to need them, emphasizing a deep connection to nature and community well-being through his unique venture.
"It's good for the body, the soul, the mind. Just connecting with the plants and with people about the plants - it's an experience that is connecting with the universe."
"I work for God, he sends them in my direction and the energy just tells me that they really would be happy to get a plant."
