Made in South Africa by Artisans and Craftsmen

Indigenous, renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship, hails from the heart of South Africa, where its team of skilled artisans creates exquisite planters. This exceptional brand embodies our commitment to quality and social responsibility. All our materials are locally sourced, championing job creation in Southern Africa and bolstering the country's economy through exports. Our meticulous, labor-intensive process, particularly for wood and stone combinations, requires up to 20 person-hours for each planter—a testament to our unwavering dedication to craftsmanship.

Indigenous GRC (glass-reinforced concrete) formula, refined over three decades, incorporates locally sourced aggregates, sands, oxides, and cement, all assembled by hand. This meticulous process results in an exceptionally robust material, over 20 times stronger than regular concrete, yet remarkably lightweight.
