Living Desert Plants is a specialist plant nursery focusing on rare succulents and cacti. Our focus is placed on succulents that are not generally available in large retail nurseries, with much of our range being imported and propagated before being made available. At Living Desert Plants, you will find the weird and wonderful that you cannot find elsewhere.
From a tiny collection on a single table, to a menagerie now numbering in the thousands, this is the LDP story.
This venture found its roots as a hobby-turned-business created by Harry Lewis in early 2018. Harry was able to get the nursery up and running using valuable knowledge gained from his years as a nature conservationist. His respect and admiration for nature is at the core of LDP’s ethos, and this extends to the plants in our care. Whether it’s plants on sale or plants in our personal collections, we give them the individual attention they deserve, and provide them with the highest possible standard of care.
All our plants are legal, nursery grown specimens, and we have been certified by Cape Nature as a registered Grower and Seller of Protected Flora since 21/05/2018.
