The Botanical Potting Mat
Hand-illustrated mushrooms & wildflowers on deep-navy waterproof canvas
A 28-inch square of waterproof canvas, hand-illustrated in our studio with mushrooms and wildflowers on a deep navy ground. Snap up the four reinforced corners and the mat becomes a shallow tray — about a 24-inch working area with 2-inch raised edges — that contains soil, water, and mess during repotting, then wipes clean and rolls up to store. Made slowly, in small batches — because we'd rather make one thing you'll actually want to leave out on the counter.

The Three-Step Ritual
How it works.
Lay it out
Unfold the mat on any surface — countertop, dining table, balcony, floor.
Get your hands dirty
Repot freely. The waterproof canvas catches soil, water, and mess.
Snap, pour, wipe
Snap up the corners, pour excess soil back into the bag, wipe the mat clean.
What People Say
Loved by plant people.
One for me, one for Mom
I ordered two of these plant potting mats. One for me and one for my mom for Mother’s Day! Expertly made, lovingly shipped. Highly recommend!
Columbus, OH Verified buyer May 2026Part of the decor now
Finally, a potting mat that doesn't look like garage supplies. I keep mine rolled up on my plant shelf and it's become part of the decor.
Brooklyn, NY Verified buyer May 2026Repotting is finally not a disaster
I used to dread repotting because of the mess. The snap-up corners actually contain everything — soil, water, the works — and it wipes clean in seconds. Also it is genuinely pretty enough that I leave it out.
Portland, OR Verified buyer May 2026Better quality than I expected
The canvas is thick and the illustration is gorgeous in person. Folds up small enough to tuck behind my plant shelf.
Brooklyn, NY Verified buyer April 2026Beautiful, wish it were a touch bigger
Love the look and it does the job for my smaller pots. For a really big monstera repot I wished for a few more inches, but for everyday plant care it is perfect.
Austin, TX Verified buyer April 2026Gifted one, kept one
Bought one for my mom and liked it so much I ordered a second for myself. Ships fast and the packaging was lovely.
