ABOUT
Our Mission
We believe that gifting is an art form that is developed through a love for all the special little details and an appreciation of the impression it makes. To us, how a gift is presented is equally as important as the quality of the gift itself.
Our mission is to provide the gift giver and receiver equally with the experience and pleasure of giving and receiving a beautifully presented living gift.
Hello there! I’m Helena, a total plant fanatic and proud founder of Succulento.
This horticultural journey of mine kicked off about 25 years ago when I had a super demanding, stressful job. After long days at the office, I’d unwind in my garden, slowly but surely getting absorbed into the wonderful world of all things green and growing. Before I knew it, my little hobby had blossomed into a full-blown love affair with plants and gardening. I quickly realised this newfound passion was my much-needed outlet for relieving stress and finding some peaceful zen.
I eventually took the leap, leaving that job behind to study horticulture. That path led me to a career in floristry as a freelance wedding and event stylist – until my first child came along. While raising my little one, my creative itch drew me towards web design, which I adored (and still do!). But plants have always been my “happy place,” and I felt that undeniable pull back towards my first love of gardening and greenery.
And so, Succulento was born from my obsession with plants and gifting, combined with a passion for simple, stylish packaging and beautiful presentation. Here at Succulento, we celebrate plants as the sustainable, joy-giving choice for gifting. We’re proud to grow, hand-craft, and locally source all our products right here in Melbourne and across Australia, working with small-batch businesses and artisans. Each gift is complemented with fresh, stylish packaging to make the unwrapping experience just as delightful.
I’m so excited to share my love of plants and spread some sustainable gifting happiness.
