  • Erica from Plant Social

    Plant Social Club was born in our family home in 2021. What started as a personal plant collection quickly became a passion for growing, cultivating and curating common and rare plants. We aim to share that passion with others by adding another plant to your existing collection or helping get you started with the help of a local plant community.
