Acqua Garden is a modern, innovative, online plants retailer. We sell a wide range of premium quality garden plants, and other products around gardening and lifestyle.
The business was formed in 2018, accelerated through Covid and has grown strongly since. We are now a team of ten and looking to expand the team as the business scales.
Acqua has a unique business model. We are seeking to revolutionise the plant buying experience in the UK, making this frictionless and engaging, and to make participation in gardening and growing plants an immersive and enjoyable experience, not just an activity. We are building our brand around this.
We use a wide range of technologies and data tools in our e-commerce activities, and we are an early adopter of AI, providing us with a competitive advantage over our more traditional competitors.
We adopt a holistic and sophisticated approach to the promotion of our brand, targeting different demographics in different ways, with a strong focus on wellness, health, nutrition and the other benefits of growing plants, and connecting with nature through gardening and plants, in multiple ways.
We are an ethical, socially conscious and environmentally-focused business, which also reflects our core values and our brand story.
We sell lifestyles not just plants. We are not a conventional 'plants retailer'.
