Green Tales No:1 Let’s talk about poor man’s bonsai Kokedama is also called poor man’s bonsai, favourite among plant decoration enthusiasts who are also passionate about sustainability. It is a decorative art of encasing a plant’s root in a ball of soil covered with moss. Often, the moss ball is wrapped with jute threads or colorful biodegradable twines. Kokedamas aren’t just trendy plant decor; they make the best gifts for plant lovers and are sustainable because they eliminate the use of plastic. #horticulture #gardening #kokedama #gardeningtips #greengifts #indoorplanters #tabletops #indoorplants

Christmas is less than a week away! If you’re going to use fresh flowers or plants in your decorations, or plan to give them as gifts, here are our top 5 sustainability tips - let us know what you think and share your own, too! 1. Buy from local growers. This time of year you CAN find many locally-grown holiday potted plants here in Finland - helleborus/jouluruusu, amaryllis, poinsettia/joulutähti, schlumbergera/talvikaktus and hyacinth for example. Evergreens/havu are also gathered in abundance this time of year, and some cut flowers, too, like roses, tulips and cut poinsettia. Ask your florist or retailer to help you find their local flower selection. 2. If it didn't grow that way, don't buy it. Skip the glitter and the painted/dyed flowers. If you buy dried or preserved materials, be sure that they're naturally dried and not bleached or chemically preserved. If you're buying or making a holiday wreath, look for ingredients which will dry well so that you can re-use the same wreath for next year. Use a straw backing or a wire backing that you can re-use. 3. No single-use and no floral foam. From packaging to wreath frames to decorative bowls for table arrangements - so much will get thrown away after the holidays. Ask your florist to use materials which you can re-use next year. For your holiday table arrangements, remind your florist that you don't want any floral foam! "Floral foam" is the generic term for the green blocks which florists use to keep stems in place and in water. But the commercial foam, even the "bio-based" versions, is NOT biodegradable. Ask for alternatives, like chicken wire. And while we're on the subject of design mechanics ... 4. Skip the cellophane. The plastic used to wrap most flower-ey things IS NOT recyclable, even here in Finland. If you're buying for yourself, bring your own reusable bag and fabric to wrap and keep your flowers/plants warm. If you're buying a gift, ask the florist to use recyclable wrapping. 5. Consider your colors and themes! If you don't want to see the traditional Christmas color palette after the holidays, consider buying more neutral colors (like cinnamon and rose) to keep you happy all winter. #sustainablechristmas #buylocal #nofloralfoam

Kākāriki (green), our primary colour, the central hue in our visual identity, serves as a cornerstone in the establishment of brand recognition. This colour is carefully chosen to reflect the essence of our brand, often drawing inspiration from the natural world to align with our commitment to environmental preservation. Fern Moss (Green): This colour represents growth, nature, and tranquillity. Symbolising the lush landscapes and natural elements of New Zealand/ Aotearoa. Moko Jade (Dark Green): A darker green shade, it adds depth and sophistication. It can evoke a sense of tradition and cultural richness. Pō Midnight (Navy): Navy is a deep, calming colour that can serve as a background or accent, providing contrast and stability in the overall design. Misty Kauri (Grayish Green): This muted green-gray hue complements the natural theme, bringing a sense of balance and neutrality to the colour palette. Mānuka Glow (Tan): A warm tan colour, it adds a touch of earthiness and cultural warmth to the design, creating a harmonious balance with the greens. Together, these colours create a cohesive and balanced palette that combines natural elements with cultural richness, fostering a visually appealing and conceptually meaningful design. #NZEcology #EnvironmentalAwareness #Connovation #forestry #rattraps #predatorfree2050 #wildlifeconservation #biodiversity #possumlure #conservationnz #toxicbait #wallaby #nzlifestyle #ruralnz #docgovtnz #nzfarmer #environmentfriendly #nzbiodiversity #pestcontrol #predatorfreenz #trappingnz #controlmeasures

Most landscape #fabric manufacturers would use one of the two most common #weaving techniques – plain weave or tight weave 🧵 👉 The plain weave has weft stripes laid right next to each other quite loosely. 👉 The plastic stripes create a cohesive layer and the final fabric isn’t very water-permeable. 👉 Therefore, a plainly-woven landscape fabric is considered of lesser quality when it comes to garden use. At #milmar, we pick only tightly-woven #landscape fabric: 💯 It means that our suppliers fasten every added weft thread tightly. 💧 This deforms the previous thread slightly – making the entire fabric tighter, firmer and more #water permeable. All these qualities pay off in every #garden 🏡

The dracaena is a terrific option for Kokedama. It sounds like weird but I made this pleasing Kokedama…. 🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿 Dracaena Marginata, also known as the Dragon Tree, is a highly popular indoor plant that can add a touch of elegance and tranquility to any space. One of the most unique features of the Dracaena Marginata is its ability to purify the air, making it a popular choice for indoor spaces where air quality is a concern. It can remove harmful chemicals such as formaldehyde, benzene, and trichloroethylene. The Dracaena Marginata is also a low-maintenance plant that requires minimal care, making it ideal for beginner gardeners. It prefers bright, indirect light and moderate to high humidity levels, but can also tolerate lower light conditions and drier air. "Through Kokedama, we connect with nature's simplicity and elegance." #Kokedama #dracaenamarginata #indoorplants #lowmaintenanceplants #airquality #horticulture #gardendesign #garden #gardeninspiration #gardeningtips #landscaping #landscapearchitecture #landscapemaintenance #gardenideas #houseplants #ecofreindly

PRO TIP: When planning your horticultural design, consider the "thriller, filler, spiller" technique. Start with a tall, eye-catching plant (the thriller), add medium-sized plants to fill in the space (the filler), and finish with trailing plants to cascade over the edges (the spiller). This simple yet effective strategy creates visual interest and adds dimension to your garden or arrangement. Give it a try! #plantinstallation #horticulture #horticultural
