We’re Jasmine & Kevin. Plant educators, content creators, and the couple behind Misfits & Matcha.

 Teaching plant care and everyday environmental living through comedy, culture, and a whole lot of shenanigans.

Our Story

We're a Jamaican American + Japanese/French American couple based in Los Angeles who loves plants, gardening, nature, and making people laugh while they learn.


With one Viral TikTok video, Misfits and Matcha took off. It turned into thousands of comments like “Mr. Uncle Boo Boo this plant is drowning, help!” and “Why did I Clap at the end like she told me?” 


What started as sharing creativity and Kevin bringing home plants became something bigger, a science backed, humor driven plant education brand built by a Social Media Strategist and an Environmental Scientist who both believe plant knowledge should be accessible to everyone. 


Through our content, we realized something that hasn't changed: most people don’t grow up with access to nature, plant knowledge, or outdoor spaces. The plant world can feel intimidating, expensive, overly curated, or like something only certain people get to participate in. So we are challenging that one video at a time. 

Meet Jasmine

 

Jasmine grew up gardening with her great-grandmother in Memphis where plants, herbs, and yard work were woven into everyday life, before she even understood how rare and valuable that was.


She went on to earn a B.S. in Exercise Science and then returned to earn an A.A. in Business Management.  She even built a career spanning acting, filmmaking, and social media strategy. As a UGC creator and social media strategist with years of hands on platform experience, she is the creative and strategic force behind Misfits and Matcha - from content architecture to brand partnerships to audience growth. 


She’s known for:

  • Now Clap
  • Telling the internet to shut their margarita guzzlers
  • Making plant care fun instead of stuffy and boring


She’s the comedic spark, the strategist, and the reason your plant is still alive. 

Meet Kevin

Kevin is the former professional percussionist. He was the drummer for The Zoo Human Project and a music educator who walked away from a music career to become an environmental scientist. If that pivot doesn't already tell you everything about him, his four degrees will. 


He holds a B.S. in Music Performance, a Master's in Music Performance, a B.S. in Wildfire Science and Urban Interface, and a Master's in Environmental Science. Before becoming one half of Misfits and Matcha, he worked with the National Parks Service, Bureau of Land Management, and the US Department of Agriculture. 


He's a lifelong outdoors lover who believes everyone deserves access to nature whether that's a hike in the mountains or a pothos in the window. Now he uses a career's worth of scientific expertise to break down plant and environmental science in a way people can actually use. 


He’s known for:

  • Being the reason the science actually checks out
  • Having the calmest voice when dropping plant knowledge 
  • Telling the internet to get a Dragon Plant


He's the credibility anchor, educator, and the reason MM isn't just another plant page. 

Why We Create

 

We do what we do because:

  • Nature shouldn’t feel exclusive
  • Plant education shouldn’t feel like gatekeeping
  • Humor makes everything easier to learn
  • Representation matters in the outdoor and plant spaces
  • The environment is struggling and we believe small, doable actions from everyday people add up to something real, so we keep showing up

Let's Grow Together
