Sharing Green Knowledge and Skills with The Plant Doctor
‘The Plant Doctor’ was born in August 2019, with Nat and Ness.
In 2019 Nat house sat for Ness while she went on vacation for a month. When Ness returned all her sad dying plants were back to full health; growing and thriving.
Ness was blown away, and so relieved to see her plants looking so happy.
However, over the following months Ness slowly lost/misplaced the notes, and her plants were dying again. She called Nat up and said “I can’t do this and I need you to help! And my mates are the same! We need to teach this to people!”
And this completely aligned with what Nat had been experiencing.
By 2019 Nat had cultivated over 700+ plants at Nauti Studios, and people were always asking:
“How did I kill a cactus?!”
“Why is my peace lily dead?!”
”I can’t have any green things! I always kill them!”
So Nat and Ness realised they needed to start something to help people be able to have plants and greenery in their lives without stress.
The Plant Doctor now has a little team of amazing women and non-binary people. As well as running their highly regarded ‘Indoor Plants 101’ class, the Plant Doctor team are now also now teaching plant craft like terrariums, kokedama hanging moss balls, macrame plant hangers, flower bouquets and more.
We teach public and private workshops (popular for birthdays, team building, hen’s parties and more), and do private 1-on-1 plant consultation for care and repair or interior design.
