Hi there,
I wanted to take a moment to introduce ourselves for those who may not know our background and to share what’s new for us moving forward.
My name is Rebecca, and I’m co-owner of The Drunken Gnome — a U.S.-based Tillandsia grower and seller for nearly a decade.
We’ve spent the last 10 years specializing exclusively in Tillandsia: growing, curating, and distributing plants across the country to both retail customers and small shops. What started as a small passion for air plants has grown into a full-scale greenhouse operation, a tissue culture lab, and thousands of healthy plants moving through our hands every month.
Over the years, we’ve built strong relationships in the industry and have now expanded into direct import and wholesale distribution, sourcing fresh, high-quality Tillandsia from trusted international growers. This allows us to offer a wider range of species and sizes, consistent availability, and competitive pricing — all with the customer service of a small U.S. grower who actually knows these plants inside and out.
We keep our wholesale communication clean, simple, and predictable —
A heads-up of what’s coming in for the month, including projected quantities and varieties.
This allows early reservations before the shipment arrives.
A brief notice when our shipment has landed and is clearing customs.
A plain, straightforward email with an Excel sheet attached.
No fluff — just current availability, pricing, and quantities.
First come, first served.
Near the end of the cycle, you’ll receive a remaining-stock list if quantities are still available.
We prioritize:
• Consistent quality
• Reliable availability
• Simple communication
• Fair wholesale pricing
• Excellent customer service
Whether you’re a plant shop, an online seller, event florist, garden center, or a fellow grower, we’re excited to support your Tillandsia needs with dependable monthly imports and a rotating selection of specialty species.
If you’d like to be included in upcoming wholesale lists or have specific requests, just send us an email to tdgwholesale@outlook.com — I’m happy to help.
Thank you for being here and for supporting small U.S. growers stepping into bigger shoes in this industry.
I’m looking forward to working with you!
Warmly,
Rebecca
