It’s been awhile since I said hello! 👋🏻
Boy, it’s been a really busy Dec/Jan here at PerkyPod HQ. I hope everyone has had an equally positive start to 2026!!
There are so many new people starting their plant journey with PerkyPod recently so I thought I’d reintroduce myself.
I am a country girl who grew up in Parkes, Forbes and Glen Innes, which are all small-ish towns in New South Wales, Australia.
I joined the Australian Defence Force straight out of High School and, after living all over Australia and overseas, my husband, three kids and I have happy settled in the beachside city of Newcastle.
I am an engineer and generally find that mindset has me hunting for efficiencies in my daily life as a busy Mum.
One hassle I constantly wanted help solving was caring for my home.
I wanted to clean it quickly, keep it looking beautiful and also get some help from my kids!
I am proudly a houseplant lover but it wasn’t always like that.
I used to kill them all and I often had plant pest infestations.
I always wondered why no plant pots offered drainage solutions given that water is inherent to plants!!
After years looking for a solution, I realised no pot out there gave me a way of thoroughly watering then draining my plants and allowing me to discard of the water. I also wanted wheels.
Too much to ask? Not so. I spent 3 years designing my own solution and we launched PerkyPod nearly 2 years ago.
It’s been a wild ride into the wonderful world of e-commerce and we have shipped plant joy to every corner of Australia!
We’ve won awards, great PR features and even have a patent pending.
We’ve never had a return and every customer review so far has given us a 5-rating and glowing reports.
So, welcome to the PerkyPod family. We love that you’re here!
