Bobas Plants
I sell succulents and cacti, some of which I grow from seeds or cuttings in Surrey, potted in creative and unusual planters some of which I cast in cement or resin, others are sourced from artisans across the UK or reusing everyday items as pots promoting well-being and re-use of common household items that might normally find their way in charity shops or at the bottom of a box at a car-boot sale on it’s inevitable journey to finish its destiny as landfill, so in a small way, I am promoting re-use as the driver of my sustainability efforts.
First and foremost, I am a gardener by nature not necessarily by trade, so having had a keen interest in growing strawberries from a young age right through collecting cactii in my formative years and succulents beyond, the therapeutic benefits of making contact with nature is not just under my skin, its also under my fingernails!
Having travelled the length and breadth of the United Kingdom, one little genre of plants really pulled on my heart strings – the subtle, and surreal succulent. With them as a target species in mind, I have ventured through the home counties in search of nurseries, and garden centres, and sometimes shopping centres, collecting specimens and bringing them home. Over the years I have acquired a formidable collection so much so that they started to propagate, and it’s that progeny that makes up Boba’s Plants!
We do a lot of markets, and it’s where we get to speak to plant enthusiasts directly which enables us to share in the knowledge we have built up, and to help guide new plant owners in the right direction!
