Behind the Scenes with Morag Hill
We had the pleasure of chatting with Morag Hill, co-founder of The Little Botanical, about their festive offerings and the company’s journey. “We typically begin our Christmas planning in July,” Morag shared, highlighting the care and attention that goes into each year’s collection. The team’s love for Christmas shines through in their carefully curated selection, always ensuring something new and exciting for their customers.
Festive Flora for Home Decor
When it comes to festive flora for home decor, The Little Botanical doesn’t disappoint. Their nursery-grown Poinsettias offer a classic pop of red, while Living Christmas Trees provide an elegant centerpiece option. Morag’s personal favorite? A white Poinsettia in their Almond Ceramic, gracing her home from early November before transitioning to the traditional red mid-month.
Thoughtful Gift Sets
Gift-giving is made easy with The Little Botanical’s thoughtful sets. From Digital Detox kits to Facial Care and Pamper sets, there’s something for every wellness enthusiast. This year’s standout is a luxurious gift box featuring a linen-covered hot water bottle, chocolates, and, of course, a beautiful plant – perfect for that special someone who deserves a bit of pampering.
The Little Botanical’s Journey
The Little Botanical’s journey since its 2017 launch is nothing short of impressive. What began with a modest selection of 20-30 products has blossomed into a diverse range including bespoke pots, their own candles, and specially designed plant care accessories. Their commitment to excellence was recognized this year with a Silver Medal at the prestigious RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
Rooted in West Sussex
Rooted in West Sussex’s rich horticultural tradition, The Little Botanical’s shop in Runcton is a plant lover’s paradise. Visitors can expect not just unique plants but also expert advice on care and placement – a testament to the company’s dedication to customer satisfaction.
Looking Ahead to 2025
Looking ahead to 2025, The Little Botanical has exciting plans in the works, particularly for Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day. While details remain under wraps, the anticipation is building for what’s sure to be another stunning collection.
A Plant Lover’s Perfect Christmas
As for Morag’s perfect Christmas? It’s all about family, featuring a morning walk on West Wittering beach with the dog, followed by a cozy lunch at home. And naturally, the table will be adorned with plants, poinsettias, and twinkling lights – a true plant lover’s holiday dream.
