Kaitlyn and Ros Fraser – ‘Pilea to the People’ brings the elusive Pilea Peperomioides, or ‘Chinese money plant’, to anyone who fancies one, but just can’t find any. As seen in the glasshouse at Oxford’s Botanic Garden and the shop at Kew Gardens, pilea are curiously formed and delightfully fast-growing, a source of joy for green fingers and small fingers alike. We will have a range of our little plants available as well as assorted crafts!
