🎙 EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Behind the scenes with Smokey and Sunshine - after years of rumors they speak out!



Many people loved our mascots - Smokey and Sunshine - and kept asking the same questions over and over. So we finally decided to sit them down for an interview and ask everything at once.

Smokey is the tuxedo "engineering cat" with professor glasses, serious plant advice, and strong opinions about fertilizer and soil pH.

Sunshine is the fluffy orange Aloha guy of the group - chubby, relaxed, permanently snack-oriented, and somehow never in a hurry about anything. He approaches life with the confidence of a cat who believes coffee breaks, warm sunshine, and donuts are all basic human rights. He is also the one asking the questions normal people are actually thinking.

Together, they somehow turned gardening into conversations about plants, coffee, cats, donuts, and the meaning of life in a greenhouse.

In this interview, you will find out:

🐾 Are Smokey's glasses fake?
🐾 Are Sunshine's donuts real?
🐾 Are these cats based on real rescued Top Tropicals cats?
🐾 How many cats have been adopted by Top Tropicals over the years and how many are currently living in the gardens?
🐾 Why does Smokey take gardening so seriously?
🐾 Why does Sunshine think every problem can be solved with snacks?

Some answers may surprise you.
Some may explain a lot.
