Garage Tropics

by Anthurium Arthur

A converted garage, a jungle of rare leaves, and one tattooed horticulturist with too many questions.

I’m Arthur: professional horticulturist at a Botanical Garden, father of five, and perpetual student of the big stuff: why we believe what we believe, how nature really works, and what the universe is up to when we’re not looking.

Garage Tropics started as a side hustle selling rare plants. Now it’s a greenhouse for ideas, a place where botany brushes against philosophy, history, and science. Some days we’re talking anthocyanin in anthuriums, other days it’s the shape of the cosmos.

It’s not a showroom. It’s a working space, a little rough around the edges, and a lot more interesting for it.

Here you can feel free to nerd out over plants, check out videos and photos, read care tips, drop me a message about weird topics of interest, or perhaps find yourself a plant in my online shop.

All plants offered are guaranteed to meet the highest standards or your money back. I’m a collector at heart and this is something I take pride in so I want to set you up for success with your new plant purchase. All hybrids are of plants from known origins and bred in a carefully controlled program with a goal to bring you novel creations and provenanced seed-grown species at fair prices. Thanks to years of working closely with some of the best breeders in the game, I’ve learned lots of secrets and plan to use them all to bring you the best possible plants for your collection.

If you have any questions feel free to message me here.

Care guides for the plants are available here.
