From Backyard Gardener to Industry Leader: How Hasri’s Passion for Plants Grew into PlantaeLover

Hasri’s journey to founding PlantaeLover is a testament to the power of passion and persistence. From a young age, Hasri was deeply immersed in the world of plants. Growing up in an environment that nurtured his fascination with gardening, he spent countless hours tending to his small backyard garden. By the time he was 14, his dedication to gardening had become a significant part of his life, equipping him with valuable skills and an unwavering love for plants.

After graduating in 2012, Hasri entered the corporate world, where he worked in various brand strategy roles.
