About Us

Welcome to Love My Plants, where we cultivate green spaces and elevate interior design through the power of nature. Established in 2020 amidst the challenges of a global pandemic, Love My Plants sprouted from a shared passion for indoor greenery and a commitment to transforming living spaces into lush sanctuaries.

Originating in the historic Smith’s Flour Mill in East Maitland, our journey began as a humble indoor plant store. However, fueled by the burgeoning trend of bringing nature indoors, Love My Plants quickly blossomed into a pioneering force in the interior plant styling and design realm.

At the heart of Love My Plants are our core values, guiding every aspect of our business:

  • Integrity: We uphold honesty and transparency in all our dealings.
  • Quality: We are committed to superior attention to detail.
  • Passion: Our love for nature drives our creativity and innovation.
  • Service: We prioritise exceptional customer experiences.
  • Beauty: We celebrate the aesthetic allure of indoor greenery.
  • Efficiency: We strive for operational excellence.
  • Care: We nurture plants and relationships alike.

Principal owner Rachel Prest brings over three decades of diverse experience in education, health and wellness, business, event management, styling, and design to Love My Plants. Rachel’s deep-rooted passion for nature and aesthetics fuels her dedication to indoor plant styling. She finds joy in curating tropical oases within indoor spaces, transforming ordinary rooms into lush retreats.

Love My Plants offers bespoke styling services across the Newcastle Region, Hunter Valley, Central Coast, Sydney, and greater NSW. Rachel collaborates closely with local architects, landscapers, interior designers, and stylists to bring your plant-inspired vision to life. Whether it’s reviving a neglected corner or revamping an entire space, we tailor our solutions to suit your unique preferences and lifestyle.

Rachel’s favorite indoor plant, the Monstera, epitomizes the captivating allure of foliage with its striking appearance and individualistic charm. Close behind is the majestic Giant Bird of Paradise, a symbol of tropical elegance.
