OUR COMPANY MANIFESTO:
We make plant food for plant people.
For the ones who light up at the sight of a new leaf.
And are struck by grief at the glimpse of a fallen one.
Who dedicate the sunniest spot in their homes to a cluster of pots.
And take pleasure in the simple things.
We're for those who live in the city but crave connection to the earth.
Who believe in the power of community and kinship.
Who care about the health of the planet - and know that planting a new seed means believing in tomorrow.
Together, we are green thumbs in a concrete jungle.
We believe that growth is the antidote to monotony.
We work towards making the world that bit freer, cleaner, greener.
