How Young Botanist started

Behind Young Botanist, it's me, Margaux, a tropical and rare plant enthusiast, with a particular affection for aroids with dark and velvety foliage! This adventure began in 2020, with a modest collection of indoor plants, but very quickly, this passion took root. In less than a year, my collection expanded to dozens, then hundreds of plants! It was around this time that I created my Instagram account _young_botanist_ to share with you my daily life as a "plants mom".

 

From passion to professionalization

Like any plant lover, I quickly found myself surrounded by cuttings and seedlings. In 2023, I decided to give a new dimension to my passion by professionalizing it, while completing my doctorate in Sports Science. So I created my company and followed the necessary steps to be recognized as a plant producer. Today, I am delighted to be able to offer you, via my site, in partner stores and at events, my precious aroids.

Where is Young Botanist, and where are we going?

Even though my PhD is finished (yes, you can call me a doctor!), Young Botanist remains a side project to my university work. What I want is to share with you unique plants, imported from all over the world and carefully acclimatized, but also my own crosses and creations from my mother plants. My wish? To help you create the indoor jungle of your dreams.

In the near future, I hope to enrich my catalog with accessories and care specially designed for your plants. So, stay connected and get ready to grow even more beauties at home!
