The heart and soul of our business is our team of artisans. The factory is positioned within a nature conservation area in Muizenberg, Cape Town. It is built around a large central wetland and is home to incredible fauna and flora. We have a family of otters that watch us curiously from the banks.
All Indigenus planters and raw materials are sourced and manufactured in South Africa. Indigenus supports creating jobs in Southern Africa, where unemployment runs at around 30%. Many of our employees feed many more mouths than just their immediate family. Every time we export a planter, we secure employment, create more jobs in South Africa and earn valuable foreign currency. Indigenus planters are made by a slow, handmade process. Some of our planters that use both wood and stone require up to 20 man-hours each to manufacture.
