About Us

‘Us’ is really me, Kristi Prohm, though Urban Heirlooms is a business under our company Optimate Group Pty Ltd.

Urban Heirlooms is devoted to the harder-to-find wonderfully-tasting foods for you to grow yourselves.

I also run two other plant-related businesses:

• Garden Clippings, my excuse to pursue a later-in-life-developed passion for plants and interest in botany
• The Jujube Tree Nursery. I write about the trees on this blog, as well as explore topics on horticulture, soil, microbiology and agricultural chemistry
