Digging Deeper

After struggling to produce things I like at the start of the project I decided I needed to start from scratch and do some research into what I wanted my idea to be on. I started from my original inspiration which was how people start to create gardens inside their home to bring nature into it without having any outdoor space. I researched into how in Paris people are being encouraged to plant urban gardens.

Is this becoming a new thing? Urban gardens can be growing plants on walls, in boxes, on rooftops, under trees and on fences. this was all to create hectares of living wall and roofs by 2020. Is this to bring nature back into these cities that are lacking in plant life. Add some green into the dull landscape. Companies such as plug and plant are creating kits to create your own wall of plants. While on Facebook I discovered this company and thought it seemed like a great idea. The outcomes are so pretty and i believe that having plants does make you happier person. Now days its important for some of us to be near a city and its sad when you can't find the accommodation with a garden. This is a great way round it.

PARKROYAL is a hotel in Singapore have started to create sky gardens as a attraction to bring people to their hotel. There is a sky garden in London also which is a big attraction. If the become more common hopefully more people will be inspired to do the same. I am seeing a lot more people trying to add green and nature to their living space. In Milan I saw a building that was made to be a garden paradise even though it is high rise. It was amazing to see and it really made me excited to start this project and showed me that it was something that interested people.

Being a big fan of instagram I was really happy when I found the Urban Jungle Bloggers. These bloggers are all about living with plants in the home. Their photos are so inspiring and pretty and I would love to have their houses with all the plants everywhere. Its a global community and it inspires people and teaches people how to create their own urban jungles. they recently released a book all about members of their community and I really can't wait to get my hands on it. These urban jungle bloggers are very up to date and on trend making me excited that my work could be linked in with them. Instagram also lead me to some artists that create art and textiles to compliment the urban jungle bloggers and add to keeping the idea of nature in the home.
