Alex
About us
Hello! I'm Aleksandar "Aleks" Ljustina, a passion ate horticulturist and landscaper with deep roots in Croatia's beautiful landscapes.Originally from Croatia, I spent many years as an olive farmer in the sun-drenched groves of Istria and beyond, where I cultivated, harvested, and cared for olive trees that have been part of the Mediterranean tradition for centuries. Working hands-on with the land taught me patience, respect for natural cycles, and the art of coaxing the best from soil, sun, and water.Alongside olive farming, I supervised a plant nursery, growing a wide variety of trees, shrubs, perennials, and ornamentals. This gave me extensive experience in plant propagation, soil health, pest and disease management, and selecting the right species for specific climates and conditions. My nursery work deepened my knowledge of horticulture—from native Croatian flora to hardy, drought-tolerant varieties that thrive in challenging environments.
