When we founded Platypus Plants, we envisioned more than just a plant business - we wanted to create a positive force for Australia's unique wildlife and ecosystems.
Every purchase you make with us contributes directly to conservation efforts across our beautiful country.
A portion of every order is donated to wildlife conservation initiatives focused on protecting Australia's precious native species, including our namesake, the platypus.
These iconic creatures face increasing challenges, and your orders help fund crucial habitat protection and conservation research.
Did you know Platypuses aren’t classified as endangered in Queensland? That’s because there isn’t enough data to track their population.
Wildlife Queensland's PlatypusWatch was created to help scientists record sightings and monitor any declines. This data can then be used to push for better protection and conservation efforts.
Since March 2025, we've proudly partnered with Carbon Positive Australia, an organisation dedicated to rehabilitating native forests throughout the country.
For every order placed, we make a donation to plant a native tree through this partnership.
Our commitment extends beyond financial contributions. We regularly volunteer our time with Wildlife Rescue Queensland, to rescue injured or distressed native wildlife.
We help ensure these animals receive proper treatment and care for successful rehabilitation and release back into their natural habitats.
Every time you place an order with Platypus Plants, you're not just adding greenery to your space—you're contributing to wildlife conservation, forest restoration, and a more sustainable Australia. It's because of our wonderful customers that we've been able to make such a meaningful impact.
Thank You For Growing With Us And For Our Planet!
