Sometimes, handmade business partnerships start in the most unlikely ways. Sean Maginity was working in the maintenance department at the Grand Rapids Public Library when he fell for Marianne Gardner, a woman at the reference desk. Their relationship and cross-country relocation may have surprised some friends and relatives, but “it worked out,” Gardner said. Little did Gardner know she was about to fall in love again — this time with plants.
