On this episode of The Plant Movement Podcast, host Willie Rodriguez sits down with Peter, the creative mind and owner of Jungle SoFlo, a young and dynamic landscape designer specializing in commercial and residential projects. From humble beginnings to designing stunning tropical landscapes, Peter’s journey is as inspiring as his creations.
Peter’s Story
Starting with a degree in hospitality management, Peter’s passion for plants was first sparked at Prospect Park’s botanical garden in New York. After a career in Spanish TV as a model and actor, he transitioned into hospitality. Following a personal tragedy—the unexpected passing of his father—Peter found solace in plants and began his journey into landscape design.
Building a Business
Peter shares how he juggled his hospitality job while taking on small landscaping projects, eventually founding his LLC. Leveraging social media, especially Instagram ads, he grew his client base, which now includes homeowners, small businesses, and hotels.
Design Style and Approach
Known for his “clean, neater jungle” aesthetic, Peter’s designs feature tropical plants with bold leaves and vibrant flowers inspired by his travels to Costa Rica and Greece. He discusses his goal of creating immersive environments that transport clients while maintaining a $10,000 project minimum to focus on impactful, large-scale designs.
Opportunities in Landscaping
Peter emphasizes the untapped potential in the landscaping industry, discussing how landscapers can expand their services and connect with a broader clientele. Acting as a bridge between homeowners and landscapers, he provides tailored solutions for every budget.
Lessons in Growth
From hiring out installations to delegating logistics, Peter reflects on the importance of knowing your strengths, trusting your team, and setting boundaries. He highlights how respect for oneself and consistency in showing up are critical to success.
The Future of Green Spaces
As the demand for greenery grows post-COVID, Peter envisions a world where plants are integral to urban living, from apartments to large-scale developments. He discusses how caring for plants improves air quality, mental well-being, and the overall ambiance of spaces.
Passion-Driven Success
Peter’s journey is a testament to perseverance and passion. Whether designing six-figure landscapes or helping clients on smaller budgets, his obsession with his craft shines through.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
