Before leaving NZ, I was super excited to be asked to contribute to my Urban Jungle Blogger friends, Igor and Judith’s book, Urban Jungle, Living and Styling with Plants. Since its launch at the end of last year, I’ve had a couple of the books to giveaway. This all coincided with the big move to Stockholm and settling in to my new life and well, all of that stuff just got in the way. Plus, I had to re-create my very own urban jungle at home from scratch after leaving all of my beloved plants back in NZ.

Urban Jungle Bloggers | Jungle Animals..

A quick hello to share a very special new addition to my plant family, a parting gift from Igor, one half of the Urban Jungle Bloggers founders.  In case you didn’t know, I’ve had the absolute pleasure of hanging out him and Philippe the past couple of days and showing them ‘my Auckland’.

urban jungle bloggers kitchen greens..

Almost always my Urban Jungle Bloggers posts begin with one plant, and then the inspiration for the rest follows. For this month’s topic, “kitchen greens” I had a succulent that my friend picked for me from her mother’s garden. It had been sitting on my windowsill in water ready to be potted for a couple of weeks. Just this Friday I found this lovely old terracotta planter at The Botanist, which I thought was perfect for it!

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.

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.
