Plant Girl Is the New Same-Day Service Delivering Colourfully Potted Greenery Across Sydney
Instead of flowers, send a fiddle-leaf fig, peace lily or rubber plant to your date (or mate).
Sydney's latest delivery service is sending 'hard-to-kill' indoor plants to doorsteps across the city — and in brightly coloured ceramic pots to boot.
Plant Girl is run by inner west local Felicity Keep, who wanted to add a bit of quirk to your average flower delivery. Customers can mix-and-match any combo of plant, pot or fabric planter, with the goal of creating a highly styled, personalised delivery experience — with predominately easy-to-keep-alive plants on offer.
At the moment, the plants available include peace lilies, snake plants, bird's nest ferns and rubber plants, all of which land in the 'low maintenance' and 'hard to kill' categories. That means you don't need to worry about your recipient's green thumb (or lack thereof). For more experienced gardeners, the fiddle-leaf fig is also up for grabs.
As far as the packaging goes, pots range from metallic to turquoise and magenta, while the fabric planter bags include leopard print, floral and 80s-inspired.
Based in Marrickville, the service delivers a ten-kilometre radius from the suburb, which includes all of the inner west and the CBD — plus a chunk of the eastern suburbs and a bit of North Sydney and the lower north shore, too.
And, if you order before 11am, you can opt for same-day delivery. For now, deliveries are only available Monday through Friday, so don't leave it too last minute.
PlantGirl is now offering same-day delivery across Sydney from Monday–Friday. Prices start at $39. To order, head to the website.
