Behind the Scenes: Filming "The Matchmaker"

***Spoiler Alert*** If you haven’t already seen The Matchmaker, go watch it before you keep reading!




This is our fourth “behind-the-scenes” blog post, where we share what it was like to bring each episode of our new Gooder Gardener video series to life. We’ll give you a glimpse of our experiences, inspirations, favorite moments, featured plants, and more.

Episode #4: The Matchmaker

If there’s a Gooder Gardener video that has resonated the strongest amongst Swansons employees, it’s probably this episode. It’s the most closely tied to what we try to do every single day. Here, we’ve all had a chance to play matchmaker. Matching someone with plants they love is always a pleasure!

In the video, you may have noticed the characters matched their chosen plants for the most part. In real life, it doesn’t usually work that way (but it’s fun when happens!).  We certainly enjoyed crafting up outfits and matchy-matchy plants for the episode. The actors (also our employees) chose their outfits and plants.

Did any of the plants in the video catch your eye? Here are the featured plants of the episode and what they are.

Are you interested in finding your own plant “soul mate” before coming into Swansons? You might like reading through one of our indoor plant resources, like Choosing your Next Indoor Plant, or browsing our Plant Care Library.

Or, let us play matchmaker and find a perfect plant for you! If you want some tips as you get started, we have a knowledgeable team ready to help you with whatever help you need.
