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.

Sometimes, you have to see something big in order to realise just how small the world really is.
Take the sun for example. Don’t you think it’s amazing that, as the Disney song ‘It’s a small world’ famously said, “there is just one moon and a golden sun”? Everywhere around the world, people look at the same sky and their plants grow under the same sun.
And if you want to see some of those many plants, sometimes nestled together in the same bouquet, then the place to see them is IPM Essen, the largest garden show in the world. In 2014 there were 1554 exhibitors from 45 countries, and 44,000 visitors, nearly 40% of which were from outside of Germany.
If you missed it, then fear not: 99roots was there to pick out some of our favourite displays.

But whilst we love the opportunity for different people and unusual combinations of plants to come together at events like IPM Essen, there are also some universals out there. As the song says, “a smile means friendship to everyone” – and we think that no matter where you are in the world, a classic bouquet will brighten up your day. So three of our favourites are the ones from Beate Ballnus of Casa Calla, Bärbel Grzenia from Blumen Nienhaus Südlohn and Jennifer Frank of Nord Event.
