For My Planties is the home of handmade ceramics to infuse your indoor jungle with a touch of style and personality. Stephanie Evans lovingly crafts and fires each piece in her Bellbowrie studio, ensuring that every pot, vase and propagation vessel is unique.

Busy Head’s creator, Therese Smith, uses a distinct style of scientific illustration to capture her love of Australian flora and fauna. Working from a leafy studio in Bardon, she uses the simplicity of bold colours and clean lines to depict all her favourite creatures.
