Greening the Gulf

In a region embracing sustainable living, PlantShop.me is transforming plant shopping across Bahrain through tech innovation, corporate partnerships and an unwavering commitment to greener urban environments.
In the era where sustainability is at the forefront, PlantShop.me has become a key player in the Middle East’s green movement. Launched in 2015, it is the region’s leading e-commerce platform dedicated to selling plants and gardening products, serving both individual and corporate customers. From indoor plants to gardening tools, the platform is integrating greenery into everyday life.
Mohammed Fayaz, Business Development Manager at PlantShop.me, had a vision to make plants accessible to all. He says: “Bahrain has a strong commitment to green sustainability and we wanted to contribute by making plants available at the click of a button.” The venture began in the UAE but expanded to Bahrain in 2020, with future plans for Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Oman.
The platform’s success lies not only in its wide selection but in its user-friendly interface. It serves as more than a marketplace, offering expert advice, gardening tips and a space for plant enthusiasts to connect and grow.
PlantShop.me has also established itself as a reliable partner for businesses across Bahrain. Its corporate clientele includes 500 Falcons, Flat6 Labs, Startup Bahrain, Kingdom Projects, Standard Chartered Bank, Downtown Rotana, Velas Restaurant, Bosporus Restaurant, Omicron, Petal and Beans, Taj Hotel, Baker & Spice Bahrain, Nexel Computer and Sun & Sand City Centre.
The company provides tailored B2B services including:
- Plant maintenance contracts – ensuring greenery in corporate spaces is well-maintained.
- Office plant sourcing – helping companies choose the right plants for their interiors.
With rising awareness around wellness at work, more companies are turning to greenery to improve air quality and employee morale.
Unlike businesses that merely capitalise on the green trend, PlantShop.me is rooted in sustainability. Mr. Fayaz says: “Going green requires a long-term commitment. It’s not just about selling plants; it’s about fostering an ecosystem where sustainability is second nature.”
Aligned with Bahrain’s broader sustainability goals, the company aims to reduce urban heat and promote green living. Inspired by the Chinese proverb: “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago; the next best time is today,” its mission is forward-looking.
With tech-driven solutions like AR-based plant visualisation and a new mobile app, PlantShop.me is paving the way for smart, sustainable shopping. As it grows, its vision remains clear – to make every space in Bahrain a little greener.
