🌿 What’s Here
The draw. Alocasias, philodendrons and rare monstera among a range collectors say they cannot match elsewhere, with new deliveries most weeks.
You can walk the warehouse and pick your own plant. Regulars describe being given a tour of what has just arrived.
Pots available on site, and staff will repot your purchase into one while you wait.
Consistently described as well below specialist retail, with discounts for buying several.
The business has traded at Columbia Road Flower Market in London, where many customers first found them.
⭐ What Visitors Commonly Mention
Themes from recent public Google reviews sampled September 2026 — editorial summaries, not verbatim quotes. Bars show relative prominence within the sample, not counts of all 144 reviews.
Sentiment summary: Two clearly different experiences sit behind the 4.6. Visiting in person draws outstanding reviews — collectors describe a range and a level of knowledge they cannot find elsewhere, prices well under specialist retail, and an owner who takes real time with people. Ordering online or by post is a different account: a persistent run of reviewers report unanswered emails, long delays, cancellations and refunds that took chasing, in one case for a substantial sum. A smaller number report plants arriving with pests or mould. If you can visit, visit.
