Product Information

Leaf Supply is the love child of two friends and massive plant nerds, Lauren Camilleri, a magazine art director and interiors addict who owns online plant and design store Domus Botanica, and Sophia Kaplan, the plant stylist behind Sophia Kaplan Plants & Flowers and blog The Secret Garden. Lauren Camilleri With a degree in interior architecture, graphic design in her bones and a love for foliage, she lives for matching the right plant with the nook where it can live its best life. Her addiction to ceramics is a sickness. Favorite plant: Monstera Delicosa (aka Swiss cheese plant) those graphic glossy leaves are a designers dream. But it's definitely not a case of style over substance with this beauty, they're also robust and delightfully low maintenance. Sophia Kaplan Styling plants and flowers into living art that makes people happy is Sophia s obsession-slash-divine calling and, joyously, also her day job. After studying communications and working in advertising at The Glue Society she felt the pull to change and started her own plant & flower styling business, after a few years of gaining experience with different florists and garden designers. Favorite plant: Begonia because of its beauty and wildness. There are over 1700 species, from the 'Wightii' with its burgundy underside, silver spots and delicate white flowers, to the 'Illumination' with its rose-like petals.
