ABOUT US

IMG_7992.png

It all started with a house full of houseplants and nowhere left to put them. Laura, a lifelong plant obsessive, had filled every windowsill of her Victorian terrace – a charming home, but not exactly blessed with natural light or space. With the floor firmly spoken for, she turned to the walls.​

Teaching herself to make macramé plant hangers was the first step.  Here she developed a pattern for a unique modern style - not a bead or tassel in sight!

They were perfect for trailing plants – but what about the more structural ones? That’s where her dad, David, came in. A skilled woodworker, he built her a shelf that she could weave her macramé through – a practical, good-looking solution for having even more plants!

Next came the propagation problem. Laura had cuttings everywhere – spice jars, old glasses, anything that would hold water. Not exactly a design statement. So she created neat, minimalist propagation units that turned clutter into a feature.

Encouraged by friends and family, Laura listed her creations on Etsy. They took off, and she soon added local fairs and markets to the mix. At the time, there were no dedicated houseplant shops on the Isle of Wight – and combining her handmade plant accessories with carefully chosen plants felt like the obvious next step.

When 3 Shooters Hill came up on Cowes High Street, Laura jumped at the chance. Now, it’s home to the Isle of Wight’s first houseplant shop – a bright, welcoming space filled with handmade plant hangers, propagation units, shelves, pots, care products and, of course, a rotating selection of beautiful houseplants, all chosen and looked after by Laura.

The shop also offers bespoke gifting and made-to-order items via the website, and Laura still brings her work to fairs and markets around the UK.

What began with a shortage of space has grown into a full-fledged business!
