They say it takes a village to raise a child. For plant parenting, it takes consistency and knowledge exchange from a community. And what better ways to learn to care of a plant while shopping for them? Here are some of our favourite hip nurseries to shop from .
Planters Market
Think farmers’ market, but with household plants. The Planters Market is a roving pop-up featuring the work of several nurseries and plant hobbyists, with the latest one during the celebration of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The events often feature local potters and food stalls, making them a great choice for a family event.
