This weekend I was back at one of the biggest European plant fairs… on our doorstep! In one of the prettiest locations in my Oise region: le Château de Chantilly. I visited Les Journées des Plantes for the first time a few years ago (see here, in 2015) but this time was extra special as I was Read article…

When you’re in Brussels during the only 3 weeks of the year when the Royal Greenhouses of Laeken are open to the general public, you just HAVE to go, right? This was the first time ever, that I queued up to visit a greenhouse. It was also the most annoying visit ever: there were too Read article…

A few weeks ago I was in Zurich together with Igor to speak about the Urban Jungle Bloggers community and our book at the Textile & Fashion Days of the Swiss Textile College.

For the last blogpost of the year, I’m taking you inside the greenhouse at the Orto Botanico in Rome.

Some days feel like you received a precious gift. Not in a monetary way, that you may expect in this month of gift giving, wishlists, giftguides, giving to charity and advent calendars. But more in an "experience" way. Two weeks ago, after spending a wonderful weekend in Rome for #Blago2017 I was lucky to have Read article…

Today I get to blog with a group of French interior bloggers: le collectif de blogueurs Project Inside! They asked me to be their guest blogger this month and bien sûr I said yes: I mean the topic couldn't be a better match: "Les Plantes et les couleurs" (Plants & Colors). Both inspire me so Read article…

Wow, that was good: three entire weeks on Corsica! Our much needed holiday brought us to l'Ile de Beauté, the isle of beauty.

mini LIVING breathe in Milan

April 20, 2017Categories architecture, interior, nature, travelLeave a Comment on mini LIVING breathe in Milan

One of the most sensational installations in Milan was definitely the Breathe tower in the Tortona district. When I heard it was all about conscious, healthy and green living I knew I had to go and see it for myself. Together with NYC-based architects SO-IL, MINI (from the cars!) introduced a creative problem-solving approach for future Read article…

 

A walk around green Milan

April 12, 2017Categories architecture, nature, travel2 Comments on A walk around green Milan

As you may know, Milan is so very green: not only the booths and exhibitions of the Salone del Mobile or the FuoriSalone are green (more about that soon!), many balconies, façades and walls of buildings are covered with leaves. It's refreshing, especially in a city that is so dense and suffers from air pollution Read article…

 

One million cactus plants

March 30, 2017Categories nature, urban jungle bloggers4 Comments on One million cactus plants

As you know, cacti are my absolute favorite plants… (together with palm trees of course!!). If you're like me and live in a place where cacti don't grow everywhere, there are several places where you can go to admire cactus plants. Your local botanical garden is a good start. In Paris, for example, we have Read article…
