About Us

Our story

It all grows.

It didn't start with the idea of a shop. It started with a simple question: what can we grow with our own hands, here in Kuwait? Plantnmore is the shop we wished existed when we began, and today it holds everything we love.

Our story

From a simple question to a shop.

In 2009 Alzainah started writing about her garden on a small blog she called It All Grows. Every season taught her something: varieties that worked, others that didn't, and as many lessons from the misses as from the wins. Over time one thing became clear: growing in our climate isn't impossible, as many assume. It just needs the right knowledge, the right choices, and a little patience. In 2016 that passion became Plantnmore: a shop that makes the start of a gardening journey easy, where you find what you actually need, without complication or guesswork.

What confused beginners most was the seed packet: instructions in another language, sowing dates that had nothing to do with our seasons, and not a word about what to do with the harvest in our kitchens. So we designed our own packets. Our Arabic seed packets are a gift of love from Alzainah to every beginner: dates for our seasons, our way of planting, and even how to use what you grow, written as if she were there with you in the garden.

A good garden doesn't have to be big or perfect. It can start with one pot on a balcony, a few seedlings by a window, or a seed a child plants for the first time.

What we offer

Everything here is chosen from experience.

We choose our seeds, seedlings, soil and tools based on what we've grown ourselves and what suits our climate and the home grower, through the whole season, the good parts and the hard ones. Gardening should be fun and easy, not complicated. Grow what you like.

A note from the founder

Everything starts with a seed.

My story with gardening didn't begin with a plan to open a shop. It began with a simple question: what can we grow with our own hands, here in Kuwait? I learned from my mistakes as much as from my successes, and I started sharing what I found. Then came the part I love most: watching people grow something for the first time, children discovering how the vegetables they eat actually grow, and families turning small corners of their homes into green, productive spaces.

What I hope for is that we don't just supply gardening essentials, but give more people the confidence to try, to learn, and to enjoy what their own hands grow. Thank you to everyone who let a personal passion grow into something that brings us together around a love of gardening.

The team

Who's behind every order.

Two teams working to get every order to you the way we'd want to receive it.

  • In-house

    The Plantnmore team

    People who love what they do and know gardening because they practise it. They're the ones who pack your order with care, check every seedling before it leaves, follow the delivery to your door, and answer your questions on WhatsApp and Instagram like a friend in the garden.

  • With gratitude

    Sadeer Farms

    The seedlings began with an offer from our friend Dana Al Mutawa of Sadeer Farms, when Alzainah ran out of space and stopped raising her own: "Pick any of your seeds and I'll give them back to you as seedlings." Then we saw how many people were in the same spot, with no room and no time to start ahead of the season. So the farm set aside an entire greenhouse for our seedlings, and together we now offer them to anyone who needs them. Every new order means one more person who fell for gardening and dared to begin.
