Everyone here has a stake in your order.
We are Leaf — a UK trade supplier of realistic artificial plants, trees, flowers and coordinating planters, and are a business owned entirely by all the people who run it, as an ethical Employee Ownership Trust.
UK artificial plant & tree specialists
Leaf Design Wholesale is a trade-only supplier of premium artificial botanicals, based at our purpose-built warehouse in Louth, Lincolnshire. We give commercial buyers the beauty of real planting — the colour, the structure, the presence — without any of the watering, light or maintenance that living plants demand.
Our range spans lifelike plants and foliage, statement trees, flowers and stems, green walls, and the planters and vases that finish a display. Everything is designed to convince up close and to stand up to commercial use.
Because we hold our range in UK stock, trade customers get fast, dependable dispatch on account — not long lead times from overseas. It is the operational backbone behind every retail reset, hotel install and event deadline we supply.
A complete trade range, held in UK stock
From compact potted plants and trailing foliage to architectural trees, orchids, flower stems and arrangements, our catalogue is built to let a buyer source a coordinated range from one account — including the metal, ceramic, composite and glass planters that complete a scheme.
We supply retailers, florists, garden centres, interior designers, hotels, restaurants, offices, event and staging businesses and more — anyone who needs realistic greenery at trade prices, backed by genuine stock depth and specification detail for tenders and compliance.

A better artificial plant
Leaf began with one goal: artificial plants realistic enough to convince up close, at prices that work for trade. We refined materials, colour tone and natural structure — and built a reputation for detail and reliability that trade buyers could count on.
Guided by our customers
Shaped by trade feedback and long-term relationships, our range grew from a focused collection into larger trees, architectural specimens and complete décor ranges — earning trust across retail, trade and hospitality.
A purpose-built home
We opened a custom warehouse in Louth, deepening our stock holding, tightening quality control and speeding dispatch — so trade orders arrive complete, protected and on time.
Owned by our people
We became one of the first artificial-plant companies in the UK to move to 100% employee ownership, through an Employee Ownership Trust — turning down acquisition offers to protect our independence and our values.
“Choosing employee ownership felt more fair, more ethical and more aligned with our values. We believe that those who contribute to a company’s success should share in it.”
A partner, not a middleman
Employee ownership isn’t a badge — it changes how the business behaves. When the team owns the company, everyone is invested in getting your order right.
Independent & secure
Employee ownership safeguards our independence — no outside buyer, no short-term agenda. The supplier you deal with today will be here tomorrow.
Profits reinvested
Profits are reinvested in stock, range and service rather than extracted — meaning better availability and a range that keeps improving.
A quality-first culture
Teamwork, shared responsibility and a collective focus on quality are built into how we work — and into every order that leaves us.
People who care
When a company is owned by its team, service is personal. Everyone here has a stake in your experience of Leaf.
Built for the long term
We plan in years, not quarters. That means consistent stock, stable relationships and a supplier you can build your own range around.
Values you can stand behind
An ethical, employee-owned British supplier is a story your own customers appreciate — and one we’re proud to share.
The people behind your order
Our team spans buying, quality, warehousing and trade support — and every one of them is now an owner of the business. That alignment shows up where it matters to you: in the realism of the products, the reliability of the stock and the care behind each dispatch.
For trade customers it means a supplier built for the long term, with the stock depth, specification detail and dispatch reliability commercial buyers need — and real people who answer when you call.
