Polly Pot Plants a brand and home to our Bougie Plants & Accessories.

It’s more than just a brand— Polly Pot Plants is a growing community of friends!!!

 

It all started with a passion for plants!

As a Fitter welder/Artist I often grew plants and created accessories for myself to match my decor or outfits. I’d grow plants and create accessories whenever I was back home from shutdowns around NZ.

 

One year, in the spirit of Christmas, I decided to make a gift basket filled with some of my rare plants i'd grown, suncatchers, plant pots, scrunchies I handmade, for My Beautiful Sister Queen Melissa, "because we both share the same passion for plants and all things fabulous"

​

I handmade, grew, labelled and packaged everything as though it had been purchased from an actual gift shop, just for the fun of it all, tbh, She was amazed, my gift to her was so convincing that i had to show her all the off cuts and fonts I used in making her gift, It was from there the seed for Polly Pot Plants was planted.

​

Fast forward one year—I went from making plants & accessories by myself, for myself—working on and from our Whanau whenua—selling my plants & accessories in small boutiques in my hometown-----to now working, with my moms and sister who uplift, push, support and bring so much joy to the day to day operation of my small business.

​

As a Fitter welder/Artist I believe being creative with my hands, working/living on the Whenua and being surrounded by whanau has always been the centre of my happiness.

​

Life is too short not to follow your dreams just because you’re scared that you’re not good enough. I truly believe that if you’re consistent in your passion and putting in the work, there’s nothing that you can’t achieve. You’ll often hear myself and my team say #yougrowgirl, and this applies to far more than just our plants & accessories—this applies to life. So don’t be afraid to live it!!!

​

100% of our plants are grown/propagated right here on our Whenua in our greenhouse nestled away at the foot of my maunga "Whakairiora" 

                                                

100% of my Bougie accessories are handmade and designed by me
