About Botanical Boys
Connecting People to Nature Our journey began in 2009 when moving house and renovating our Japanese and Italian water garden in London. We soon got noticed and were asked to open our garden to the public for the National Garden Scheme raising funds for good causes. We have since been featured on the BBC Great British Garden Revival, The Sunday Times, Abigal Will's The New London Garden book amongst other publications and won a gold medal at Chelsea Flower Show. Inspired of what was achieved with our garden we decided to focus our energy building terrariums at home. Visitors and friends quickly recognised the terrariums as a way to capture a slice of nature to bring indoors and asked us if we could teach them. Our first ever terrarium class started around our dining table with 3 friends and word quickly got round. Not too long after we opened up a plant and workshop store in Coal Drops Yard. South African (Ben) and his founding business partner (Darren) were inspired on their travels across Africa developing a love for traditional hand crafted objects. We have built a strong supply network of family and friends whom help us source treasures for our stores, interior designers and the film industry.
