Our Story
Hydro & Co was born out of a fascination and interest in indoor plants, gardening, the beauty of nature, mixed with style and design. At time in our lives that was filled with uncertainty, a new hobby formed which at the time helped create some excitement and new inspiration to think outside the square
New Owners
Tami & Gareth
Hydro & Co began in 2020, quite by accident.
Like many Australians during the COVID-19 lockdowns, our founders found themselves with a little more time at home than usual. Katherine brought home a Peace Lily from the office to care for, and Clint suggested trying something they'd seen online – growing plants in water instead of soil.
Their very first hydro plant turned out beautifully. After sharing a photo with family, requests quickly started rolling in. Family told friends, friends told colleagues, and before long, what had started as a creative lockdown project had blossomed into Hydro & Co.
Driven by Katherine's passion for plants and creating beautiful, lasting pieces, Hydro & Co grew from a small home-based hobby into a business that has helped hundreds of customers bring greenery into their homes and workplaces. Along the way, the business continued to learn, evolve and refine its craft, always with a focus on quality, creativity and exceptional customer service.
Today, Hydro & Co enters an exciting new chapter under the ownership of Tami and Gareth Lane.
With a background in floristry, Tami brings years of experience in working with plants, flowers and beautiful botanical design. Together, Tami and Gareth are honoured to continue the legacy Katherine built, while bringing their own passion, creativity and fresh ideas to the business.
Although the faces behind Hydro & Co have changed, our commitment remains the same: creating beautiful hydro plants, delivering outstanding customer service, and helping more people discover the joy of growing plants in water.
Whether you've been with us from the beginning or you're discovering Hydro & Co for the first time, we're so glad you're here and look forward to being part of your plant journey.

We believe deeply in all of these values, and they are part of everything we do - from the places where we source our plants, the way our plants are cleaned to the way we treat our customers.
