Urban Jungle Bloggers | Plants & Art

When I received the theme of Plants & Art for the September Urban Jungle Bloggers, I knew that I needed to keep it really simple and focus on just one plant and one work of art because  what I had in mind look like they’re made for each other. These two beauties deserve equal starring roles here, like two principal dancers. They both share the same movement and I think that the green and pink just go together so beautifully too.

I had one of those moments the other day. I saw an image shared on Facebook by I am the Lab, which took my breath away. The image was of the Botanic Storage by Kristina Dam Studio, a unit designed to place your plants inside or on top, store your magazines, shoes or accessories. The idea and design couldn’t be more perfect for the forever-trending indoor plants.

The other week I had the pleasure of visiting the home and workspace of Lisa and Jared, of the gorgeous and recently opened online store, Garden Objects.

Like all good visits, it started with a friendly cuppa and a good old chat. The two had just recently arrived in Auckland. Jared, a Kiwi has been living in London for the past twelve years. After he and Lisa visited a couple of years ago, they flirted with the idea of moving to Jared’s homeland to settle. It became a reality when they had the brilliant idea of opening a concept store dedicated to all things garden. They packed up most of their belongings, including their (adorable) British cat Bertie, and started a new life here.

URBAN JUNGLE BLOGGERS | MAKE YOUR PLANT POP

For the July edition of Urban Jungle Bloggers, we were asked to make our plants pop with some colour. This bright and happy theme is also a send off before they break for the summer months in the northern hemisphere. Even better though, and more room for celebration is the impeccable timing of this theme with the joy that is spreading around the world #LoveWins.

Urban Jungle Bloggers Plant Gang

It feels good to be joining in on the Urban Jungle Bloggers fun again. With everything going on with the rebranding, school holidays and family visits, I simply couldn’t squeeze another thing on to the agenda. I was this close to doing last topic, even had the best idea… but no, I couldn’t. Then I saw this month’s theme, “Plant Gang” and well, I had to because, I do have a bit of a collection happening.
