Dachain Website

Get to knowyour next plant.

Collectors can examine a plant's foliage, explore its family tree and read its growing history before making an inquiry. We designed Dachain's website to give individual specimens the attention they deserve.

Inside the project

A personal connection with each plant.

Dachain breeds exclusive plants. Collectors visiting its website can study a leaf's colour and shape, discover the plant's parents and follow its development at the nursery. We made that history part of browsing the collection, so visitors can learn about an individual specimen before asking to buy it.

Project: Dachain Website
Scope: Public website + immersive plant discovery

01 / The challenge

Make a plant feel individual.

A collector wants to know more than a plant's name. Its appearance, origins and growing history help build a connection. The website needed to convey that detail while giving the nursery a luxurious presentation that felt personal.

02 / The approach

Let visitors follow their curiosity.

We gave collectors several ways to get to know a plant: close photography, an interactive family tree and a history of its development. They can follow a specimen's ancestry, return to the collection and inquire about a plant that interests them. The nursery's team manages what visitors see through its operations application.

Using the application

What people can do.

Photography from the nursery

Close studies of foliage sit alongside photographs of the nursery and young plants. Visitors can browse by subject and open individual photographs.

A family tree to explore

Collectors can trace a seedling back to its parents and explore related plants. Selecting a specimen opens its own history, making the breeding story part of choosing a plant.

A life recorded over time

Collectors can read the nursery's observations over time and see how a specimen progressed through selection. From there, they can explore its family or ask the nursery about the plant.

Explore at your own pace

Moving foliage and animated handwriting introduce the nursery. Visitors can pause the motion, use the keyboard to explore or follow their device's reduced-motion preference.
