A new independent plant store is set to open in Redcliffe, offering a diverse range of indoor plants, designer pots, and horticultural products. The Urban Jungle Society, located in Cominos Arcade, launched last Saturday, 1 March, with a week-long opening sale, offering 30 per cent off all products.
Filling a Gap in Redcliffe Plant Market
With the closure of Redcliffe Garden Centre on Snook Street, the area has lacked a dedicated independent plant shop. The Urban Jungle Society’s owner, Kendrik Uhle, recognised this gap and decided to bring a specialty store to the community. He aims to offer a more personalised and knowledgeable service than large retail chains, creating a hub where plant enthusiasts can access expert advice and various plants.
As a landscaper, Mr Uhle aims to use his experience to help customers make informed choices about their indoor and outdoor greenery. He also hopes the store’s presence will contribute to the ongoing revitalisation of Cominos Arcade, encouraging more small businesses to establish themselves in Redcliffe.
What The Urban Jungle Society Offers
The store will feature an extensive collection of indoor plants, stylish pots, and premium horticultural supplies. Outdoor plant orders can be placed in-store, ensuring customers can access a broad selection beyond immediately available.
In addition to catering to individual plant lovers, the business will also supply bulk orders for private customers and trade professionals. Plant care kits and expert advice will be available to help customers maintain their greenery with confidence.
Rare Plants, Accessories, and Essentials
The Urban Jungle Society will stock a variety of rare and exotic plants, including Philodendron Gloriosum ($19.99), Monstera Laniata Variegata ($44.99), and Monstera Thai Constellation ($159.99). More common indoor favourites like Philodendron Moonlight ($19.99) and Asplenium Nidus – Birds Nest Fern ($25.00) will also be available.
In addition to plants, customers can find premium plant care accessories, such as The Urban Jungle’s Reusable Repotting Mat ($40.00) and The Plant Runner Neem Oil Refill ($38.00). Stylish watering cans, like the 1.9L Chalk Indoor Watering Can ($69.99), will also be on offer, along with plant care kits designed to help plants thrive.
Customers interested in outdoor plants can place special orders in-store, ensuring access to a wider selection beyond the shop’s indoor offerings. Bulk orders for both domestic and trade customers will also be available.
Grand Opening and Special Discounts
The Urban Jungle Society’s grand opening at 10A/132 Sutton Street occurred last Saturday, 1 March, from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. The store will operate on Wednesdays to Fridays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.
To celebrate its launch, all items will be available at a 30 per cent discount for the first week, from 1 March to 8 March.
Mr Uhle believes Cominos Arcade is the ideal location, not only because of its central position but also due to its potential for business growth. By setting up shop in the area, he hopes to play a role in attracting more independent businesses to Redcliffe.
A Fresh Addition to Redcliffe Business Scene
The Urban Jungle Society’s arrival adds to the growing community of small businesses. With a strong focus on high-quality products, expert guidance, and a personalised shopping experience, the store is expected to appeal to both local residents and visitors.
By encouraging more people to embrace indoor and outdoor greenery, the store aims to support a greener, healthier lifestyle for the community. Its presence in Cominos Arcade signals a step towards a more vibrant and diverse retail environment in Redcliffe.
