Philodendrons, crotons, ferns, tropicals, palms, and a few things we are not telling you about — the rest is best discovered in person.

Plant care 101

A few simple habits keep most plants thriving.

Light

Most of our foliage plants like bright, indirect light. Crotons and palms enjoy full sun.

Water

Check the top inch of soil. If it is dry, water well; if it is damp, wait a day or two.

Soil & pots

Use a free-draining mix and a pot with holes so roots never sit in water.

Launch day

Where it all began.

Good to know

Can I buy online?

Not through a shopping cart. The best way to see what's growing is to visit in person, or message us on WhatsApp and our team can tell you what's currently in stock.

How do I pay and collect?

Message us on WhatsApp to confirm your plants and arrange collection. Payment details are shared when we confirm.

Do you deliver?

Ask us on WhatsApp about delivery options for your area.

Can I get help choosing a plant?

Yes. Tell us about your light, space and experience and we will suggest plants that suit.

Do you supply large or landscaping orders?

Yes, message us with what you have in mind and we will follow up.

When are you open?

Daily, 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, during regular park hours.

Make a day of it

Swim in the spring pools, walk the rainforest trails, then browse the shop on your way out.
