    Description

    Hi, my name is Made and with my partner Fran, we started a plant business.

    The idea of our entrepreneurship is to connect plants, growers and people in the city to create greener spaces. We are in contact with rural greenhouses and planter artisans. Also, we create designs for hotels, restaurants and cafes to help them create warm environments.

    We are based in Mexico City, however, we occasionally travel abroad to bring plants, visit growers or potters.

  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We are located in Mexico City in La Condesa. It is a super located area where there are many foreigners who share experiences around the city and many social events always around.

    Within our home, we like to share lunches and include our guests in our local social activities to make them feel part of our community. I am from Mexico and my family is here so if possible we can have a Mexican meal together to learn more about our traditions.

    Fran and I have traveled through Workaway before and have had great experiences, so we want you to feel the same way and get to know Mexico, while helping a local startup, just as we were able to get to know other countries.

  • Help

    Help

    We could use an extra hand to grow our community on the site and social media so we are looking for help with photography, content creation, blogging about plants and gardening, ecommerce experts or business consulting to help us continue to grow.

    On the other hand, sometimes you could help us to visit growers and bring plants to the city or plant installation or care.

    As for food, we offer coffee/tea, bread and fruit in the morning, and also you can use the kitchen to prepare your own meals.

    What else ...

    The schedules are very flexible and in your free time you can go all over the city, we are very well located near transportation, parks, museums, bars, restaurants, cafes and cultural events.

    At home, we are very quiet and we like to maintain a peaceful atmosphere, as we also work quite a bit from here, however, if at some point we all feel comfortable, we can have a get-together with friends.
