About Us

Welcome to The Living Isle, where we turn Waiheke’s indoor spaces into lush, living works of art. We are Nina and Jasmine, a plant-obsessed duo who believe that bringing nature indoors is the best way to create a sanctuary you'll love.

Our journey began with a shared passion. Bringing six years of artistic experience from launching Island Terrariums, Nina expertly crafts living worlds inside glass. Along with her background in art this gives her a unique eye for greenery design, seeing every space as a canvas waiting to be transformed. Meanwhile, Jasmine brings the business experience of founding Pet Connect and an absolute plant-addicted green thumb. It was this passion and expertise that led them to launch the Pet Connect plant division together two years ago. The joy of seeing a room come to life with a living wall or a majestic Kentia palm led us to create The Living Isle—a business dedicated entirely to bringing that same feeling to homes, businesses, and special events across Waiheke.
