An Amazingly Lofty Plant Paradise Has Just Opened In St Heliers Village

By Armelle Frimpong

It'd be fair to say that we're a little bit obsessed with plants here at Urban List – and if you're anything like us, your 'Gram has a fair few covetable spaces with abundant greenery dotted about the place just so too.

While it's entirely reasonable to want to recreate these whimsical looks in your own home, it's very often a case of easier said than done. What type of plant suits your skill set? How do you know which vase will suit your new plant baby? And where should you place it in your home so that it doesn't go from bright and vibrant to—slowly but surely—withered and half dead? (Can't be just us).

Well worry not friends, because the legends behind the talented design and construction team Babylon Gardens—who have been creating beautiful landscapes in Auckland for over 10 years—have just opened the Babylon Store to help all plant-lover wannabes.

Their lofty new space in St Heliers village is packed with a wide selection of hard-to-find as well as crowd-pleaser faves, pot collections and other botanical sculptures for inside and outside the home.

And the best part? Not only does the Babylon Store curate its very own stunning pot collection which includes handmade NZ ceramics and gorgeous unusual planters from around the globe, but they'll also make you up a potted set which they'll deliver and install in your home or business. How about that.
