About Botanical Boys

Our green adventures started back in 2009 when we moved into a garden flat in East London. We renovated a Japanese and Italian water garden from it's overgrown past but with no prior garden experience we got stuck into the books and learned everything there was to know about pruning shrubs and planting. After the first year tidying the space up we were asked to join The National Garden Scheme. The scheme recognises gardens of quality and raises money for charity. Subsequently, we opened our garden every year. We have since been featured on the BBC Great British Garden Revival, The Sunday Times and many other publications. This lead to us starting out events company that connect people to nature by building terrariums. Inspired by what we achieved with our garden and our events, we decided to broaden our horizons after a trip to Ben's homeland, South Africa. Connection to the natural world is crucial more than ever and in a fast paced fragile world we live in today we need to just slow down sometimes and observe nature it's the one thing that keeps us alive. It is incredibly important that each and everyone of us finds the time to connect to nature in some way and by doing so also positively impacts our own wellbeing. So whether it be building a terrarium garden or building a collection of plants for your home or supporting local African villages with our natural range of products, you are helping to make a difference.
