As founder Connor Su intended, this preserved plant store is a true oasis along Joo Chiat Road. What this unassuming shophouse houses an airy "greenhouse" – but rather than flourshing shrubs, the bulk of these plants are already preserved, with the occasional landscape feature of live plants. Connor crafts these botanical creations by hand, with a range of stones and plants imported from overseas – think preserved plants from Japan, wood slate stones from Greece, and driftwood from Indonesia and Vietnam. They result in beautiful pieces like the Old Guard ($1,199), made from preserved moss, white crispum flowers and Japanese tea tree leaves; and the more affordable Baby’s Tears ($139), featuring preserved ball moss from the Netherlands, baby’s breath flare, and Japanese asparagus sprengeri leaf – all positioned carefully on a polished slab of Indonesian driftwood.
