About Us

Welcome to Rain Tree Gardens, a richly diverse, plant-focused venture founded by seasoned horticulturist, John. Boasting a wealth of experience, John has devoted over three decades to cultivating and retailing a broad spectrum of plants, attesting to a profound passion for all things green.

Our Mission

We aim to channel our vast experience into creating a valuable resource for gardening enthusiasts. Our goal is to empower you with knowledge, insights, and ideas that can enrich your gardening pursuits and enhance the pleasure you derive from them.

Our Genesis

Rain Tree Gardens has its roots in John’s childhood, assisting his father in cultivating fuchsias and tuberous begonias in their backyard. The excitement amplified with the addition of a greenhouse, sparking a lifelong fascination with plant life.

Our Journey

John’s initial career stint as an electronics technician eventually gave way to his deep-seated passion for gardening, leading him to a nursery’s serene environs. For nearly three decades, John and his partner Diane have had the privilege of nurturing a wide array of plants, spanning bedding plants, perennials, woody ornamentals, orchids, houseplants, and more.

Rain Tree Gardens also harbors fond memories of a nine-year period managing a wholesale floral company, a journey marked by the exhilaration of fast-paced dynamics and constant learning.

Our Digital Platform

Our website serves as a fulfilling retirement endeavor for John, attesting to his unfading passion for plants. The current spotlight is on hostas, highlighting their hardiness, reliability, and captivating beauty as garden residents. As we evolve, we look forward to expanding our plant portfolio to include other fascinating species.

The content on our site is rooted in our experiences—our triumphs and our learnings. We share insights gleaned from our journey as well as those of others, believing that shared wisdom fosters growth.
