For the indoor plant lover
Functional and beautiful at the same time, this indoor glasshouse is visually stunning while also doing an important job - enhancing the growing conditions for your indoor plants.
The roof can be opened to improve air flow, and double doors make it easy to access your plants. Made from steel and glass, this is a beautiful piece of art in it's own right.

The Art of Bonsai
The slow, meticulous practice of cultivating a bonsai tree seems to be the antithesis of our hectic modern lives full of instant gratification and rapidly changing trends. A bonsai tree is grown over years (and sometimes generations) and requires the artist to slow down, be patient, and mindful. It requires thoughtfulness and planning. It's true garden therapy!
This is a beautiful art that is said to be slowing dying out in Japan, but is popular in the rest of the world. Giving a gift of a bonsai tree would be a lovely way of sowing the seeds of the bonsai craft and keeping it alive.
If you would like to try bonsai but not sure if it's for you, read our fact sheet to find out what's involved.

Conserve an endangered species
The Wollemi Pine is a critically endangered plant, only discovered in the Blue Mountains in 1994. There are thought to be less than 100 trees in the wild. It is one of the oldest and rarest trees, with fossils dating it back 90 million years ago!
Efforts are being made to propagate and plant Wollemi Pine to ensure it's survival. By giving the Wollemi Pine as a gift, you could play a part in helping to conserve a species.

For the plant collector
Monstera Thai Constellation (Variegated Monstera) is a highly sought after indoor plant - so much so that some people call them a "unicorn plant" because they are so hard to find! This plant has only been released in Australia this year, is in high demand amongst collectors and would make a great gift for plant collectors.
