Our Mission

In the heart of the bustling city of Chicago, the idea for Rośliny took root. The founder, Emilia Kowalski, a third-generation horticulturist, originally from Poland recognized a disconnect in the modern world: people craved the serenity of greenery in their homes and workplaces, yet the hustle of city life often made it difficult to access. She envisioned a platform that would bridge this gap, bringing lush foliage from the rich Polish countryside to the urban jungle. Emilia's passion for plants was more than just a hobby; it was a legacy handed down through generations, nurtured by the stories of her grandfather who tended to vast gardens during the austere post-war era, finding solace and freedom in the growth and bloom of each plant.

Rośliny sprouted from a blend of tradition and technology. Emilia, with her keen understanding of the digital landscape, combined her heritage with an innovative approach to create an online haven for plant lovers. She began by curating a collection from local growers, emphasizing the unique flora that thrived in Poland's varied climates—from the misty highlands to the verdant plains. The platform was not just a store but a community hub where novices and aficionados alike could share their love for botany. Emilia's vision was clear: to foster a digital ecosystem where every plant had a story, every purchase a personal connection to the earth, and every customer a chance to cultivate their own green oasis.

As Rośliny grew, so did its reputation, blossoming into a beacon for green living and a symbol of sustainability. It wasn't just about selling plants; it was about instilling a greener consciousness in the heart of urban centers. Emilia's initiative quickly spread beyond Kraków, rooting itself deeply in the ethos of cities across Europe. With each delivery, a piece of the pastoral Polish landscape found its way into homes, offices, and lives, bringing with it a breath of fresh air and a sense of peace. Rośliny became synonymous with a movement towards a more harmonious coexistence with nature, a testament to Emilia's dream of reconnecting people with the natural world in the digital age.
