THE IDEA

After moving into his girlfriend’s already-furnished London flat in 2014, Freddie set about on the untouched balcony in a bid to inject some of his own personality into the space. A quick online search instantly turned his dream on its head when he realised that there was no service for urbanites that would allow him to order – and have delivered – the plants that he wanted. Two years later, he founded Patch.

“The biggest thing I’ve learnt since starting Patch is the importance of trusting your instincts. Whenever I’ve not trusted them, I’ve lived to regret it.”
