My Edible Container Garden
I’m no green thumb. I’ve neglected many plants in my time, even the succulent variety that I chose for their hardiness. I am getting better though. I realise now that they actually need watering (sometimes daily), sun, fertiliser and some attention to keep them mostly happy. With this newfound knowledge, I’ve created an edible container garden, just outside my back door on the deck and, it makes me so happy!
Urban Jungle Bloggers | Plants & Coffee
Couleur café
Que j’aime ta couleur café
Coffee and plants. I’m not sure if Serge would agree with me, but it could be the new coffee and cigarettes non?
I couldn’t resist the latest Urban Jungle Bloggers challenge, especially seeing that I’m lucky enough that my husband works for Nespresso, and we live and breath coffee in our house.
The Garden Edit
I had one of those moments the other day. You know the type, you pin something that takes you to an online store and you’re in awe of an impeccably curated shop, and I mean impeccably. Absolutely so much regard has gone into it. Nothing is mass produced, most of it one of a kind, and by reading about the owner, you get it and you realise that the store is a perfect representation of that person and their tastes. The Garden Edit, is that kind of store.
Urban Jungle Bloggers | Cosy & Green Bedroom
I always have some plants in the bedroom, but it’s usually on the table beside the window, where there’s light. I quite like the idea of having some green beside the bed though, so this month’s Urban Jungle Bloggers challenge, “cosy and green” was welcome. It makes sense to have some plants close to where you sleep, they purify the air for one, and some how make us feel more at ease.
Urban Jungle Bloggers | My Plant Shelfie
This month our friends at Urban Jungle Bloggers HQ asked us to show us our “plant shefie”. So here is mine… a neglected plant brought back in from the garden, a thriving one relocated from the kitchen windowsill, and another that recently had their mother removed after it grew into a strange shape in search of the winter sun. After this exercise, I realise how nice it is to see a few plants in this part of the house, there’s certainly enough light for them here, so a couple will definitely be staying for a while.

Oh I know. Plants, we just can’t get enough of them right now. Well I certainly can’t. This would have to be one of my favourite trends happening at the moment and I really hope that it sticks around for a long, long time.
Urban Jungle Bloggers – Back to School, Plants in the Workplace
I’m happy to be back to show some new additions to my plant family for the latest Urban Jungle Bloggers edition. The topic is “Back to School – plants in your workplace”. Well workplace for me isn’t quite defined. I have two places at home where I work from; a corner table in my bedroom when the household gets too rowdy, and the kitchen table. They say that many good businesses began at the kitchen table. I keep reminding myself of that as I dream very hard of having my very own studio.

Pottina & Pottone Self Watering Planters
A self-watering planter is nothing short of brilliance. This is coming from somebody who adores plants, and I’m always intending to water them, but just forget to. As I write this, I’m looking to the corner of my living room where a bunch of flowers are in desperate need of a top up.
