Who's AROIDBOY?

My name is Sebastian Trujillo ,

I'm a dynamic and innovative Landscape Designer & Horticulturist renowned for my passion at crafting both indoor and outdoor spaces.

With a career spanning since 18 years old, I have developed an unique expertise in blending the elements of nature with functional design to create environments that are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also sustainable and harmonious.

Since I was a little kid, my passion for plants has always been present. I come from a family of agriculturists based in Antioquia, Colombia where we grow coffee and sugar cane for the region. These tropical and lush environments eventually filled me with passion and love for all things green.

My fascination with nature's tranquility amidst urban chaos fueled my career.

Pursuing my passion, I earned a degree in Horticulture, followed by specialized training in Landscape Design. My extensive knowledge and hands-on experience in both fields enable me to craft unique spaces that resonate with the rhythm of city life while embracing the serenity of nature.

I believe that every space, whether a cozy city balcony or a sprawling garden, has the potential to become a green oasis.

My designs focuses on creating harmony between the natural and built environments, reflecting the personalities and lifestyles of each client.

I advocate for green spaces in urban settings, not just for their beauty but for their role in enhancing the well-being of city dwellers.

TESTIMONIALS

Sebastian Trujillo is both a horticulturalist and an artist. He transformed my dreary little backyard space into a small magic garden. He's prompt and responsible and answered all my questions. And listened to all my suggestions. A pleasure to work with; I recommend him highly.

Sebastian was so great to work with. A true collaborator. He brought his vision to my project, heard my own vision for it, and found a way to bring the best of both visions to the work at hand... and what remained was a clean, reshaped garden that was not only ready for the winter, but is ready with bulbs for spring.

Sebastian’s mission to educate and bring awareness of conservation efforts in Colombia is wonderful. By offering visitors the opportunity to experience the natural beauty and culture of his homeland, Sebastian will create a unique and impactful addition to eco conscious tourism.  And I love his cozy and fun embroidered apparel that creates a wearable link between his mission and daily life".

ADVENTURES IN COLOMBIA

Hiking the second largest monolith in Colombia was one of the biggest challenges while i visited my home country in 2019. The mountain was filled with many lithophytes Anthuriums and incredible Monsteras. Let me not forget Philodendron melanocrysum taking over the bottom of the mountain in large populations, Definitely an experience!

WORKING WITH LOCALS

Antonio Constantino is naturalist based in Cali, Colombia who works with the conservation and research of many Aroids and Orchids. He currently has over 10 acres of land where he protects and cares for endangered species by propagating and sharing with other naturalist across the country.

FOLIAGE AND LANDSCAPES

While visiting Nirvana's Natural Preserve in Valle del Cauca, I found incredible inspiration on how to use Aroid foliage in Urban Landscapes. Anthurium waroqueanun is without a doubt one specimen that will strike the human eye from far away. it's semi pendent dark green lamina makes great statement for the entrance of Nirvana. Caring for this amazing Aroid is not as complicated as it looks. Having its roots well aerated with a mix of bark and debris from fallen leaves is what i've found this beautiful plant uses to thrive in its natural habitat. it is almost like growing an Orchid.
