Our Story

Plixphar was born from a simple yet profound realization: in our fast-paced modern world, we've lost touch with the restorative power of nature and mindful creation.

Founded in 2018 by garden designer Emma Phillips after her own journey with burnout and recovery through gardening, we set out to create a sanctuary where people across Ireland could reconnect with plants and flowers not just for their beauty, but for their ability to foster presence, mindfulness, and well-being.

What began as small workshops on South Great George's Street in Dublin has grown into a thriving community of mindful gardeners and floral enthusiasts across Ireland. Our approach blends traditional gardening knowledge with mindfulness practices, creating a unique path to wellness that resonates with urban dwellers and rural gardeners alike.

Today, we offer workshops, online guides, and a supportive community dedicated to the belief that mindful interaction with plants can transform not just our spaces, but our lives.

Our Philosophy

Mindful Cultivation

We believe the act of gardening is as important as the garden itself. By approaching planting, pruning, and arranging with full awareness, we transform routine tasks into meditative practices.

Nature Connection

In our disconnected world, establishing a relationship with plants reconnects us to natural rhythms and cycles, grounding us in the present moment and fostering ecological awareness.

Holistic Wellbeing

We see gardens and arrangements as extensions of inner states. By creating outer beauty and order, we cultivate the same qualities within ourselves, supporting emotional and mental health.

Our Core Values

Sustainability

We prioritize environmentally-friendly practices in all our recommendations and workshops.

Accessibility

We believe mindful gardening should be accessible to everyone, regardless of space or experience.

Education

We empower through knowledge, sharing techniques that build confidence and competence.

Community

We foster connection between people with shared interests in plants, mindfulness and wellbeing.
