Backyard Botanist began as a whirlwind of plant deliveries when Melbourne's covid restrictions suddenly deprived a whole city of plant-lovers their usual fix. Jami, a Botanist and foliage-fanatic had always dreamed of starting a plant business, so when life gave her 2020, she enlisted her web-building partner Matt and they set about making lockdown lemonade.

The business was built on the premise of helping others to fill their lives with greenery, just as they love to do, but as Backyard Botanist grew and Jami looked to expand their range, she was consistently unimpressed with the disposable nature of many of the products available to help people care for their plants. Why so much ugly plastic in a world filled with nature lovers?

It was here that she spotted a gap in the Australian market and set about sourcing the very best horticultural tools and accessories on the planet. Today Backyard Botanist no longer sell plants, preferring to leave that to your local nursery or plant shop, instead their focus is an ever-growing range of handpicked plant care and kit, designed to help your plants, garden, and you thrive.
