Pots for Pops, a gift that grows connection
Choose to send a potted plant to someone you care about, & we deliver it with warmth & care. During our visits, we share tea, enjoy conversation, listen & build trust.

It's perfect for someone coming home from hospital, feeling lonely, grieving, or simply needing a reminder that they are not alone. Pots for Pops:
is a thoughtful gift that shows genuine care
is a friendly, supportive presence

How it works
Gift a pot
You simply decide if you would like to bring your own or select from our local options, we even offer customised pots for those unique requiring something a little more.
Choose your visits
Our visits are never rushed. When we deliver the pot, we check in gently, providing an informal nursing session that feels more like a friendly conversation than a clinical appointment. You choose the option of individual visits, or you can build a package of up to four visits.
We deliver the pot
During these visits, we share a pot of tea, can customise or plant-out the pot, have a conversation, & complete gentle wellbeing checks. We work to connect them with any additional practical supports they may need calmly. Reducing isolation & supporting their next steps.
The Sharing Pots Project
A simple initiative that encourages connection through giving, sharing, and presence. Anyone can gift or donate a potted plant, which is then shared with someone in the community who may benefit from a friendly visit and moment of connection.
Each pot is shared with warmth and respect, offering a small reminder that no one needs to feel alone.
Who can Share a Pot? Friends or neighbours, local businesses or service clubs, GPs, social workers, cancer care teams, funeral directors, hairdressers, or yourself, for someone you care about.
Give the Gift of Connection
-
Many people experience loneliness but don’t seek company or support.
-
Sometimes people don’t wish for formal mental health referrals, but they want to talk more with their GP where time is limited.
-
Informal conversations often lead to deep discussions about loss, advance care planning, and unmet needs.
-
As a nurse visiting the home I have additional time to listen and provide a report back to the GP, supporting the care journey.
-
As we age, making sense of the value of our lives is important. Sharing our stories and wisdom with a listening ear can make a world of difference.
-
Linking people with MyAgedCare, transport, domiciliary services or referral to GP or pharmacist, community services, and social supports.
