HI, WE’RE PICO!
Louise & Mauro.
Our story.
It all began with a stroll down Portobello Road in Notting Hill one Sunday morning. We stumbled across a beautiful, quaint plant shop that made us come alive. An instant connection with the plants and a clear desire for what was to become PICO… little did we know at the time.
Our plant journey began… we started learning all there was to know about plants, and most importantly, how to be a good plant parent! It wasn’t long before our London apartment was the epitome of an urban jungle!
Fast forward to 2020 after relocating to Maputo, Mozambique and PICO was born! We’ve watched our journey expand from humble beginnings to a cool, sustainable brand. We’re proud to say that we’re the first Urban Plant Boutique in the Mozambican market. We’ve connected with amazing communities in our craftsmanship, and built an awesome community of our own, which we are so excited to see continually evolve over time.
THE PICO PROCESS.
We work with suppliers throughout Mozambique and South Africa to source the healthiest plants and plant care accessories. Before our plants make their way to your home or office, we take them through the 'PICO process' where we treat them organically to keep them free from unwanted pests, pot them in custom pottery with high grade potting soil suitable for indoor use, and nurture them to ensure they adjust well to their new environment.
Our focus is on three key areas; the health and longevity of plants, delivering a high-quality product, and exceptional customer service before, during and after sale. Our committed team and personalised service has allowed us to develop credible networks with our clients throughout commercial and residential sectors.
the pico promise.
We are committed to promoting plant care knowledge to our community to ensure the health and longevity of our plants. We want you to understand what your plant needs so you don’t find yourself replacing it with a new plant every few months.
We don't stop there, our team are on hand to answer any plant care questions along the way to help you navigate the natural changes from season to season.
“The professionalism, creativity and knowledge of the staff at PICO really sets them apart from other plant vendors. They ‘dressed’ my entire apartment with plants that make me smile every time I walk into a different room! Highly recommend them.”
