A heartfelt review turned love letter to a plant shop unlike any other — and why our leafy haven, 'jungle in a shipping container', keeps earning nothing but five stars.
Some reviews hit you right in the chest — the kind that stop you in your tracks and make you feel like all the late nights, dirty fingernails, and wild dreams have been seen. This one did exactly that.
"It was utterly magical... Jonny truly is a King of the jungle! You really have to see what he is doing in his metal shipping container in his back garden..."
That’s the kind of love you don’t just gloss over. It deserves a spotlight.
We’ve been blessed — truly — to have received only 5-star reviews across Google, Facebook, and our website. Every comment, every kind word, every photo of your plants settling into their new homes… It means more than you know.
So from the bottom of our mossy hearts — thank you.
Buying a plant might seem small, but what you’re actually doing is sharing a moment. A choice. A quiet rebellion to bring something green and alive into your world. You’re helping this dream grow, one rooted beauty at a time. You’re walking with us.
The Review That Sparked This Blog
This particular customer, who visited while travelling in their van (Willow Van Der Wagon, we salute you), came for plants and left with an experience:
One-on-one time choosing plants suitable for van life
A chance to meet both Jonny and Charl in person
A full tour of the infamous converted container
Some laughter, leaf worship, and even doggo bonding (Maisy says hi!)
And they didn’t just walk away with a plant haul — they walked away with a story.
"He’s created a magnificent patch of lush green growing life and I’d really urge you to visit, check out his website and buy from the man himself. The quality of these babies is outstanding."
If you’ve ever wondered if a jungle can fit in a metal box, now you know. It can. And it thrives.
