Startup of the Week - Patch
by Startacus Admin
Urban gardening made easy thanks to innovative startup Patch, which aims to make it easy for anyone and everyone in London to get into gardening...
Let’s face it - if you live in London, chances are you may not have much of a garden. Whilst you may live near one of the capital’s great parks, it still may not compare with having your own green space. It can unfortunately be one of the downsides of urban living.Help is now at hand however thanks to our latest startup of the week.
Patch is a London based startup which aims to make it easy for anyone and everyone there to get into gardening.
Whether you have a balcony, a patio or a windowsill, they can help. Of if you simply want to have a few houseplants, they can help with that too!
Fancy adding some greenery to your office? They’ll do just that.
What the Patch team do is source some of the best plants and products from suppliers throughout the UK and deliver them directly to your door. All plants are delivered with care guides and detailed info into how to pot them as well as their watering and fertilising routines.
You’ll get all the help you need to ensure that you have the right plants for your space (whether indoor or outdoor) and have all the tips and guidance on how to look after them. Fear no more about where to place a plant or how often it should be watered - Patch will keep you right!
It’s a simple idea but one which is proving to be really successful and it’s easy to see why. After all, gardening shouldn’t be reserved for those folk living in the country or those who are fortunate enough to have big gardens.
We reckon that anything which adds a bit of brightness or in this case greenery to the urban landscape, ought to be welcomed with open arms.
Our only hope is that Patch is rolled out to other cities soon!
Patch - we’re loving your work…
