Our Story

Tucked away in the heart of Somerset, The Black Thistle grew from soil, solitude, and a deep love of green things.

What began as a personal refuge — caring for plants through life’s harder seasons — has blossomed into a space to share that comfort, creativity, and calm with others.

We specialise in UK-grown, peat-free houseplants, carefully sourced for their beauty, resilience, and low environmental impact. Alongside them, you’ll find handcrafted pots, botanical care, and curious little treasures — all made by independent UK makers. Everything we do is rooted in sustainability and a touch of the mystical: a belief that connecting with nature can be both practical and powerful.

Whether you're looking to bring life to a quiet corner, treat someone you love, or simply wander through a space filled with greenery and stories — you're very welcome here.
