The Upwegrow Guarantee: Healthy Arrival, Always
Plant, reptile, amphibian, or full bioactive build — if it arrives anything less than thriving, we replace it or refund you. No fuss.
Read our promise
From our greenhouse to your door
Every upwegrow plant is raised by hand in our Edmonton greenhouse — not pulled off a warehouse shelf.
We grow with organic fertilizers, thoughtful soil mixes, and we quarantine every new arrival so pests stay out and your plant lands on your doorstep ready to thrive.
Fewer plants, grown better.
Meet your grower
Hi, I’m James.
I came to plants the long way round — through biology and chemistry and gecko keeping — and somewhere in there the obsession took hold for good.
Every plant that leaves here was grown or hand-curated by me: fed organically, watched closely, and treated like one of my own.
If it isn’t good enough for my collection, it doesn’t get to be in yours.
That’s the whole promise.
