House in the city, but not.

Your house may be in a city but it doesn’t have to be a concrete jungle too. You can look out the window and see a forest. You just have to plant it.
Cleaner Air, Cooler temperature.

My neighbours tell me that they keep their windows closed because of all the dust and heat but mine stay open. The trees filter the air and cool down the temperature.
Grow it.

Put it in the ground and nurture it. With time and care, your garden can be your source of food, peace of mind and happiness.

The Journey

So, in this video, we willl show you how we made our very own with just a plastic bag full of recyclable trash, paper, render mix, chicken wire and some paint. A year on and they’re still strong and beautiful as ever. And the best part is that they’re super affordable!

Bring the Outdoors, Inside

Instead of fake flowers, bring plants from outside to the inside. Some are not as suited for the indoors but will be ok for several days or even weeks, so it’s good when you’re entertaining guests for a limited time.
