Plants on concrete steps in a city courtyard

Grown for apartments

Chosen the same way you chose your flat: on light and square footage

Most plant shops sell you what looks good in a greenhouse. We grow the twelve species that hold their shape in a 3 metre room with one window, dry radiator air, and a tenant who forgets.
