Founded by English gardener John Tebbs, The Garden Edit redraws the traditional boundaries associated with shopping and the garden by bringing together a modern collection of products that embody functionality, timelessness and beauty.
What an amazing gardening-video, published by "Nowness, for the culturally curious"... Enjoy.
The Zurich Succulent Plant Collection is one of the most impressive of its kind, covering more than 4750sqm and displaying over 6500 plants. We visited the collection and brought our good old 35mm camera.

I’ve always been sceptical of feng shui. I’ll admit that this scepticism is based wholly on a complete and utter lack of knowledge. To me 90% of it is just common sense. Like the theory that dead flowers affect the feng shui of a room – is that feng shui? Or is it just that it looks unattractive and that you make no effort? Similarly, the advice that your living room furniture should be arranged so that people can enjoy each other’s company without being blocked by visual impediments doesn’t seem like rocket science to me.
But there’s obviously something in it, because a lot of people practice feng shui. There are websites offering advice on everything from feng shui during pregnancy, to the placement of your Christmas tree (hopefully more elaborate than ‘not to be placed in front of the door‘)
And if there is something in it, then we at 99roots should be delighted, because the use of plants (living ones, obviously) is really important. Different plants are suitable for different purposes – crassula ovata, for example, is seen to be particularly good as a money cure. Our plant of the week, fabian aralia, or the plum aralia, is thought to bring a flow of love, energy and calmness. This shrubby tree plant has deep green leaves with a purplish underside, and can be trained as a bonsai but could also reach an impressive height of over 10ft.
