We Planted a Shop - PETERBOROUGH

 We’ve Sprouted 🌿

On May 27th, we quietly (well, kind of) launched PLANT borough. Just two plant guys, a lot of leaves, and an idea that somehow became a real shop.

🌱 Timeline: How It All Unfolded

May 27 – Official launch of PLANT borough
May 28–31 – Set up shop design, payments, shipping & custom domain
June 1 – First batch of plants added to the store
June 3 – Collection expanded with 5 new rare arrivals
June 4 – All test orders completed (successfully!)
Now – You're reading our very first blog post

 

First Things First

We set up the basics:
✔️ Gave our shop a name and a proper home at plantborough.com
✔️ Made sure payments work (because free plants sound nice but… no thanks)
✔️ Tweaked shipping so your new green friends arrive happy, not squished
✔️ Picked a look that actually feels like us — clean, calm, and leafy

And yes — we placed all the test orders. Everything works. Zero chaos. Okay, maybe just a little chaos.

 

Our First Batch

We added our first plants to the store. Then, on June 3rd, we dropped a few new beauties into the mix:
🪴 Senecio rowleyanus (aka String of Pearls)
🔥 Philodendron Narrow Ring of Fire – you’ll know why once you see it
🌿 Philodendron Narrow Escape – tall, dramatic, moody
🍦 Peperomia Vanilla – smells sweet, looks even sweeter
🌺 Begonia Tamaya – dots + attitude

We’re only adding plants we love — and ones that made us say “whoa” at least once.

 

Getting the Word Out

While packing boxes and watering like mad, we also:
📈 Started sorting out SEO
📱 Plugged in social media apps to show you what’s growing
✍️ Launched this blog to share tips, updates, and behind-the-scenes fun

 

What’s Next?

Now that test orders are done, we’re rolling full speed:
💬 More blog posts with care tips, fun facts, and some chaos
🔍 Making sure people can actually find us when they search “variegated monstera UK”
📦 Packing your orders like they’re the last leaf on Earth

This whole thing is new. A bit wild. But it’s real — and we’re loving every minute.

Let’s leaf together. 💚
