‘Groene vingers’
I was raised in a household where most of the living room was occupied by my mom’s indoor jungle of cacti, spiderplants, ferns and whatnot. I found out I had the same knack for plants and enjoy taking care of them.
Started my first bonsai when I was about 7, and cried whenever I lost one 10 years later. In our current home I’m having success at growing veggies in containers. In the backyard I love growing ornamental flowers, herbs, bonsai, strawberries, fruit, and botanical weirdos.
I enjoy the japanese garden aesthetic in the shinto sense. My gardening is influenced by pagan, organic and sustainable thought.
