Who we are
Built on a bad experience
Built on a bad experience
and a stubborn belief
The Rare Plant Scout exists because I got scammed trying to buy a rare plant, and because I couldn't shake the fear that even if it had arrived, it might have been poached from the wild.
So I became the thing that was missing: a scout. Someone who finds the growers doing things right, vets them personally, and only brings them to you once I'm genuinely satisfied.
Every seller on RPS is personally vetted. Every plant comes with a guarantee. That's the whole point.
