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.
Well, Easter is upon us again and although it’s a Christian festival, the majority of the ways in which we celebrate are inherited from paganism. Bunnies were a sign of fertility, whilst coloured eggs represented the sunlight of spring.
Regardless of whether you are religious or not, Eastertide is a celebration of new life – for Christians, a new life in a relationship with the resurrected Christ. For everyone else, a celebration of the signs of new life that are springing up all around at this time of year.
If there is one place that we can see signs of new life, it’s in the garden. So, why not organise a scavenger hunt to help the children to discover the garden during their Easter holidays? Give them the following list and tell them to check off each item (or take a photo of it?) as they find them (don’t collect them though! Birds won’t be best pleased if you take their nest away)
You can add to the excitement by hiding small treats around the garden as well –you could even combine it with this year’s easter egg hunt!
Happy exploring!
