Discover the Wonders of Leafy Plants and Terrariums in Mount Eliza

Welcome to Leafy Lovers 🌿

If you love plants, thoughtful gifts and supporting local makers, then you’ll feel right at home at Leafy Lovers. Tucked away in Mount Eliza on the Mornington Peninsula, my little shop is a space I’ve created to bring greenery, creativity and beautiful locally made things together under one roof.

Leafy Lovers started with a love of plants — especially terrariums — but it’s grown into so much more. It’s now a place where plants sit happily alongside handmade jewellery, candles, bags and unique gifts, all created by talented local artisans I’m proud to support.

Why I Love Leafy Plants & Terrariums

Plants don’t just fill a space — they completely change how it feels. They calm a room, lift your mood and bring a sense of life into your home or workplace.

Terrariums are one of my absolute favourites. Each one is a tiny, self-contained world and no two are ever the same. They’re perfect if you want something a little special, low-maintenance and full of personality — and they make beautiful, meaningful gifts.

Here’s why I’m always drawn to leafy plants and terrariums:

• Easy to care for – great for beginners and seasoned plant lovers alike

• Beautiful and calming – greenery softens any space

• Thoughtful gifting – living gifts that last

• Creative and unique – especially when it comes to terrariums

More Than Just Plants

While plants are at the heart of Leafy Lovers, I’ve carefully curated the shop to include a range of locally made pieces that complement them perfectly.

Alongside the greenery, you’ll find:

• Handmade jewellery – thoughtful, one-of-a-kind pieces

• Locally poured candles – perfect for gifting or treating yourself

• Beautiful bags and accessories

• Unique homewares and creative gifts

• 
  

Everything in the shop is chosen with intention — to support small businesses, celebrate local talent and offer things you won’t find in big chain stores.

Thoughtful Gifts Made Easy

Whether you’re shopping for a birthday, a thank-you, a housewarming or “just because”, I love helping people find something meaningful.

Some favourite gift ideas include:

• A mini terrarium for desks or small spaces

• A leafy plant paired with a locally made pot

• Candles or jewellery teamed with a plant for an extra-special touch

• Custom or ready-made gift bundles from multiple local makers

If you’re ever unsure, I’m always happy to help you choose something that feels just right.

A Space Built on Community

One of the things I love most about Leafy Lovers is the community around it. Supporting local makers, chatting with customers, sharing plant care tips and seeing people fall in love with greenery — that’s what this space is really about.

Leafy Lovers isn’t just a shop; it’s a place to slow down, feel inspired and take a little piece of nature (and creativity) home with you.
