It All Started With A Leaf...
Specifically, this Philodendron verrucosum clipping. Like many of us, Sofi was first drawn to horticulture during the initial Covid-19 lockdown of 2020. They were working as a Graphic Designer at the time, spending all day cooped up inside at their house in Leeds – suddenly, creating a positive space for ourselves at home was more important than ever. Collecting houseplants was a way to bring nature indoors, as well as a sense of nurting and responsibility that is very mentally calming. A year later, that verrucosum clipping evolved into a 300+ plant collection, and the inspiration for Build Your Jungle. Now you can find us online and in person at craft markets around the U.K.
