Dustin Anthony and his result of Love, BloomingTables
Dustin Anthony is the founder and CEO of BloomingTables, a unique brand that disrupts the furniture and house plant industry with an exquisite and efficient combination of a terrarium and table planter box.
It all began with a romantic gesture by Dustin Anthony, a San Diego-based founder who chose to design a dining room table for his partner that included her favorite plants.
Dustin Anthony surprised his fiancée with a handcrafted table adorned with live plants to commemorate their two-year anniversary. It was a hit with her, and the notion blossomed into the basis for a company he named BloomingTables.
BloomingTables are a new and inventive method to bring plants into the home while also providing health advantages. It’s a “terrarium table” that combines the functions of a table with a planter box, allowing people to display gorgeous succulents in their homes. The table and the floor are both protected from water by an acrylic tub that lies within the box’s liner. Users just apply a thin layer of pebbles, followed by activated charcoal, before adding the soil and plants to prevent overwatering.
Dustin’s mission is to bring the beauty of nature indoors and to provide a new, innovative approach for people to include more plants in their homes and offices.
In less than a year, the company has grown to a six-figure monthly revenue. It has created and implemented a plan for all marketing and branding projects, and it has tailored several successful marketing campaigns using market research and industry trends.
