Hi, I’m Sam, founder of Plant Collector Melbourne.
I’ve always believed plants are about so much more than keeping something alive. They have a quiet way of transforming how a space feels and, in turn, how we feel within it.
That belief is at the heart of every Botanical Experience we create.
Each experience is designed to slow you down, spark your creativity and reconnect you with nature through making something beautiful with your own hands. Whether you’re creating a terrarium, crafting a Japanese kokedama moss ball or exploring another botanical art form, our hope is that you leave feeling inspired, grounded and proud of what you’ve created.
You don’t need a green thumb or any previous experience - only curiosity.
Over the years, Plant Collector Melbourne has had the privilege of welcoming hundreds of people across Melbourne through public workshops, private celebrations and team experiences for organisations looking to connect in a meaningful way. We’ve also had the joy of facilitating workshops at the Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show, where hundreds of participants join us each year.
Whether you’re joining as an individual, celebrating a special occasion or planning a memorable experience for your team, our botanical experiences are thoughtfully designed to bring people together through creativity, conversation and nature.
We’d love to welcome you to one of our Botanical Experiences.
