Embracing Nature : Hort Park Part 2
Imagine living in a house that is filled with better air quality and beautified by the GREEN…it feels healthy and soothing *grin*.
All this while, we have been keeping a number of plants at home. Some have grown quite big and tall and they have taken up space.
A visit to Hort Park, Singapore, gives us ideas on ways to maintain a varieties of indoor plants at home and YET saving space and keeping the space neat and attractive.
Take a look at some of these miniature plants and other plants landscaped as wall features - displayed at the Hort Park.
If you are thinking of keeping plants but constrained by space, these ideas might suit your needs. And yes, they serve as good gifts too if the receipient is a plant lover:)

A centre piece of wall mounted plants…
A wall-mounted tank of fish and water plants…
This is a frame filled with a special design of red, green and yellow beans….
A dining table landscaped with plants…
Different plants within a vase…
I used to attempt different plant arrangements in a pot or tray, especially with cactus. So this miniature display is not new to us…
These plants add life and colours to the otherwise boring mirror cum cane partition….
These leaves have been stained, laminated and made into bookmarks….
An otherwise dull coasters, now with leaves…
If you have children at home, teach them to start by keeping small plants and get them to be responsible in taking care of them.
Let them be creative and they can possibly design interesting plant arrangement.
While keeping pots of plants, do not forget to clear stagnant water to prevent mosquito breeding.
