Dam Thongphun – Green Touch Nursery

The hardest part about my small garden is eyeing a large specimen that I want to bring home, and then dealing with what needs to go and how to move things around to make space for it.

Regina Fernandez – Port Town Pottery

My mother introduced succulents to me when I was a child I still remember her words, "succulents can come in such cool shapes and many colors and are easy to grow."

Lisa Nix – Studio Fern Ceramics

My main sources of inspiration are from natural forms and gothic nostalgia. Growing up in the 90s. I’ve always loved the work of artist HR Giger, and grew up immersed in the dark world of Tim Burton.

Joshua Evan – Death Caxtus

I've always been into a stark black and white pallete for my paintings, and coming from a critical art school of thought I wanted to make pottery that reflected a newer and more cutting edge attitude

What is it?

Atomkinder is a labor of love. Love for cacti and succulents. Love for the people that help grow, preserve, protect, and educate other people about these amazing plants.

Our goal is to help spread the word about this wonderful scene, and to highlight other people that are doing the same. Every week we will feature some of these growers, collectors, educators in our Spotlights section. Hopefully their insight into the hobby will help all of us grow.
