Our Team
Heather and Slade Giesen- Owners
Heather Giesen is the CEO and founder of GROW Giesen Plant Shop & Botanic, as well as the newest venture, Planterior. What began with a small collection of cacti and succulents turned into Giesen Greenhouse in Pratt, KS, and later blossomed into GROW, a unique plant shop in Wichita. Heather’s love for plants and passion for community have been at the heart of every step of the journey.
Slade, Heather’s husband, is joining us on this exciting adventure. He’s the hands-on guy who builds the frames, carries the heavy stuff, and makes sure every installation is flawless.
Fun fact: Heather and Slade share the same birthday!
Hannah Critchlow- Head of Design/Artist
Hannah’s journey into the world of plants started eight years ago with a humble cactus from Walmart—because hey, you have to start somewhere! That single plant sparked a passion that led her to dive deep into the art and science of indoor greenery.
In 2022, she joined Grow Plant Bar, where she expanded her knowledge and expertise. This path eventually led her to co-found Planterior alongside Heather and Slade Giesen, bringing her vision of combining art and nature to life.
With a lifelong love for creativity and the natural world, designing plant-filled spaces felt like second nature. Now, through moss art, interior plant styling, and biophilic design, Hannah helps others experience the beauty and benefits of bringing nature indoors.
