How does ordering a custom plant gift work?

Four steps. You tell us the story — who it is for, what they love, what you are celebrating. We come back with questions and a direction, and you agree the price before anything is made. It is then planted by hand in Kolkata and delivered, with a printed care card.

Can I bring my own idea for a custom planter?

Yes. You can describe an idea in your own words and we design around it. The particular details matter more than the general ones.

Custom orders

Tell us about them.

You describe a person — what they love, how you know them, what you're celebrating, what you want them to remember. We design a small living landscape around it, and plant it by hand.

Enquire to order See what we’ve made

Every custom order is priced individually. You will have the price before anything is made.

What we can make

Almost anything, so long as it's about someone.

A customised plant gift from The Plant Edit is designed around one person. You choose the plant, the planter, the colours and the decorations, and you can add miniatures, photographs, names, dates or a message. If you already have an idea, we build around it. Made by hand in Kolkata, priced on enquiry. Common questions →

Everything we have made started this way — around a person, a milestone, a festival or a memory. Yours can begin from any of them, or from nothing at all.

For someone you love

How it works

How it works, in four steps.

Tell the story

Who it's for, how you know them, what they love, what the occasion is. The more particular, the better the piece.
We talk it through

Sweta comes back with questions, then a direction — the size, the planting, the figures, the idea. You agree the price before anything is made.
It's planted by hand

Built in the studio in Kolkata. Plants chosen to survive the room it's going to, not just to look well on the day.
Delivered

Across Kolkata, with a printed care card. We agree a date with you when you order.

What helps most

The details other people would think are too small to mention.

Not "she likes plants" — but that she grew up by the sea, that she keeps every photograph, that she and her husband argue about the same thing every year, that her son moved abroad in March.

Those are the things a piece can be built from. If you have a photograph of the room it will live in, send that too — it decides which plants will survive there.

Customised planters and personalised gifts are most of what this studio makes, and they are all made to order in Kolkata — custom plant pots, planted arrangements and miniature gardens, built around one person. We ask for a minimum of 3 days’ notice. If what you want is mostly photographs and mementoes rather than planting, that is a Memory Wall. Ordering for a company is handled through corporate gifting.
