THE PLANT INN, under Margaret Olejniczak and later joined by her daughter Alex Kluzniak, has been operating since 1992. It began with the purchase of a small nursery at THE WORKSHOP shopping centre, which was later expanded to include a florist conveniently located next to the Durban Exhibition Centre. This prime location, and later its proximity to the ICC, provided opportunities to sell and hire plants and flowers for national and international events such as COP 17, AIDS, SUGAR, INDABA, BRICS, and more.

With its phenomenal reputation for excellent service and reliable delivery, THE PLANT INN and its dedicated, experienced team were recognized as THE BEST SUPPLIER for exhibitions and conferences in South Africa. This prestigious award was granted by EXSA (Exhibition and Event Association of Southern Africa).
