Company mission
The Stem aims to share the joy of plants for happier people to make a healthier planet. Its sustainable online garden centre has sustainability first, delivering plants in EVs, with recyclable packaging, and they plant a tree with every order.
Our take
The Stem was founded to share the joy of plants for happier homes and a healthier planet. It helps users discover beautiful plants for homes and hand-deliver them directly to your door, in the most sustainable manner possible.
As well as looking great, plants can help improve physical and mental health, such as reducing stress. Purchasing at The Stem is a great way of bringing the green indoors, as well as supporting a business that puts the planet first.
With a wide range of plants and pots, The Stem has something for everyone, from rubber trees and snake plants to cacti and bonsai trees.
It provides only A1 grade plants and a wide range of pots, with exceptional service, offering 30-day returns, free scheduled deliveries, and complimentary plant care support. Fundementally focused on sustainability, The Stem delivers its plants in 100% electric vans, uses low-impact packaging, and plants a tree for every order.
