The idea for YourHouseplants was born at the beginning of the pandemic, when most of the world stood still and we literally had time to `smell the roses`. We then realised that our little town of Weston Super Mare did not have a plant shop. Our team of three, David, Sean and Deanna have worked in the plant industry for over thirty years and I think it`s fair to say as well as having years of knowledge and experience, we really love plants.
So we opened our independent houseplant shop in Weston-Super-Mare, just off the high street during the pandemic. The response from Weston Super Mare was wonderful. People loved the idea that they could wander into our little tropical jungle and lose themselves among the plants.
Although everything is available to buy online for collection, we much prefer that you are able to come to our shop and see the actual plant that you`ve purchased, and to make sure that you are happy with it. It also gives you the opportunity to see where we are, and what we do, and generally leads to an ongoing plant interest. We have met some wonderful people who often just pop in to see what`s new or to ask how to look after a plant that they have. We have also developed an easy care advice system. We think it is important, to not just sell plants, but to also offer clear, concise care information, so that the plant you have bought from us is a success when you take it home. We print a QR code on all of our labels which gives general information, secrets of success, aftercare, and importantly safety information for children and pets. This information is accessed simply by scanning the QR code printed on our retail labels, just point your smartphone camera at the QR code and follow the link.
Already coming from a plant background and being in the plant industry, we are able to access and stock a huge range of houseplants, including many of the current rare and hard to find varieties. We also stock a full range of sundries, composts, feeds, ceramic cover pots, and specialised substrates, everything you need to keep your houseplants looking at their best. Our plants are supplied by our own national trading company, direct from the grower, and never from wholesale markets. For us it is all about the quality of the plant. Pot plants, like most things in life, you get what you pay for. There`s always a cheaper alternative, but we believe it’s best to start with a quality, well cared for plant, that will readily adapt to the similar conditions of your home, and give you the best chance of success.
We are always happy to guide you, and recommend plants for gifts or your home or office environment, and are more than happy to try to help you with any plant related problems you may have.
Many of our customers have become plant friends so we have created a membership card for all of our customers that have supported us. So please pay us a visit, whether you're new to Houseplants, or one of our many regular plant friends
We look forward to seeing you.
