Get to Know Me
Hi there!
I’m Sam - I’m your crazy Plant Collector in Melbourne, Australia.
In 2018, my plant journey started from a succulent that my Nan gave me… I killed it a month later! Determined, I bought my two very first plants, a Monstera and Ctenanthe which I have with me to this day.
In 2019 and many plants later, my partner Jacob helped me build a greenhouse in my parents backyard which is where you’ll find me if I’m not at work.
PCM was established in 2020 after following my passion for plants (in particularly, Aroids/Araceae family), love for people and enthusiasm in bringing people together to create community.
I’m on a mission to share the joy of plants, create greener spaces and guide you along your plant journey.
Our Mission
To transform lives through the power of greenery.
At Plant Collector Melbourne, we help businesses and plant lovers create greener spaces—not just for aesthetics, but to inspire, uplift, and transform lives.
We believe that greener spaces make the world more beautiful, and that beauty is powerful.
We believe individuals are deeply connected to their environment—and the spaces we cultivate can shape how we feel, think, and live.
Whether it’s a home or a workplace, your space has the power to influence your mood, motivation, and the way you show up in the world.
Our mission isn’t just about plants. It’s about spreading joy, building connections, and inspiring people to live their best lives—through the simple, profound magic of greenery.
Values
Authenticity & Realness
We keep it honest and human. From plant wins to plant fails, we share the full journey so others feel supported, not judged.
Inspiration & Empowerment
Your environment shapes how you show up in the world. We create greener spaces that help people feel calm, motivated, and at home in their lives.
Care & Connection
Everything we do is rooted in care—for plants, for people, and for the spaces they grow in. We lead with intention, heart, and a deep love for the green things that bring us joy.
