About Me

I'm Mel and I am so pleased to meet you!
My love for plants started long before The Rare Nugget was even an idea... Growing up, I spent many hours in the garden with my mum and nana learning how to care for plants and helping them with all the tedious work while watching them do their mastery! Those early memories shaped who I am today. Their patience, knowledge and love of growing things stayed with me.
I truly love what I do and I wouldn't want it any other way.
Now, through The Rare Nugget, I get to share that same love and knowledge with others who appreciate the magic of bringing nature into their homes. Every plant I offer carries a piece of that journey... I hope you love them as much as me.

Whether you’re an experienced collector or just beginning your rare plant journey, The Rare Nugget makes it easy to own standout indoor plants without the hunt.


Every plant both home grown & hand picked is carefully selected and handled with care, so you can shop online with confidence knowing your plant will arrive healthy and ready to grow.
