The botanical home of.... Musician Mileece Petre

Bohemian Living: The airstream home of Musician Milcee

Surely It couldn't get much better than this? An airstream caravan situated in your own mini botanical garden!

This dreamy bohemian habitat is the Home of English artist and musician Mileece Petre. Mileece is a multi-media and sonic artist who attaches electrodes to leaves and turns the data collected into musical notes so it is no surprise that her home be such a wonderful jungle.. I am totally captivated!

What to Compost...

I have been in my new home for a year and shamefully I have only just ordered myself a compost bin for the garden. In Bristol we do have a weekly compost collection from the council that goes to a large composting site, so it's not like it has been going in the bin, but it is defiantly time that my garden shares in my juicing, fresh coffee and avocado obsessions.

I love the list above found in Pinterest, sadly I cant find the original link. I would love a full scale colour picture of this on the side of my fridge.

Copenhagen

I have just come back from a wonderful long weekend in Copenhagen and have fallen in Love. 

Of course I visited all the traditional tourist hot-spots, Nyhaven , Christinsborg Palacel, The Freecity of Chistiania (once a beautiful hippie community now just intimidating)  etc but what I fell for was the beautiful Botanical gardens and Geological Museum. The Spiral staircase pictured, leads to a rickety walkway high above the main palm house which was both terrifying and magical!

Beautiful spot to sit and read: Conservatory

I am thinking maybe I could get a conservatory built on my house. It would be so cool to have a little reading room with a pretty tiled floor, beautiful exotic plants and a Blue velvet chair to read a book in....

Hibernation season is finally coming to an end....The Snowdrops and Daffodils are showing their pretty little faces and soon, my favourite, the Magnolia will flower marking the end of a rather miserable winter here in England.

I finally have my own modest plot of land and I have begun planning and researching my jungle garden, although on my budget it may be a good few years in the making. I am thinking large towering ferns, caster oil,  rhus, and Melianthus, with plenty of purple alium and hellebore.... heaven.

....My inspiration so far is the wonderful gardens designed by Bel Air garden designer  Art Luna Garden whose philosophy

"Structure first flowers second" 

really resonated with me, I have never been a primrose kinda girl. I love these stunning gardens with huge towering yukka and low level Acer's and the use of massive crystals on the garden posts is just awesome!

So inspired

Green House

Beautiful overgrown Victorian Conservatory / greenhouse

Spiral Staircase at Kew Gardens

I can remember the moment I fell for Victorian style conservatories and began dreaming of living in a huge green house. I must have been 8 years old and we went on a visit to Kew Gardens. There was a beautiful conservatory with Lemon and Orange Trees and a large greenhouse with huge lily-pads that I remember being very disappointed that I wasn't aloud to sit on. It was around that time I read the Secret Garden....

Growing up we visited loads of National Trust properties and I have to be honest I found them a bit boring, but now I cant get enough. Although I find the interiors aren't often to my taste the gardens and conservatories are so beautiful and inspiring....

Heaven!!!
