Christmas well spent 🏔️🌲

Not all plants play nice with pets, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy them! 🌿 Hanging plants are a perfect solution to keep not-so-pet-friendly greenery out of reach while still adding that lush, planty vibe to your space.

Decking the halls with festive favourites like poinsettias and helleborus is a Christmas tradition—but have you ever wondered if they’re safe for your furry friends? 🐾

Poinsettias often get a bad rep, but the ASPCA reassures us they’re 'irritating to the mouth and stomach, but generally over-rated in toxicity.' So, while they might cause a mild tummy upset if chewed, they’re far from the festive villain they’re often made out to be. Still, it’s wise to keep them out of reach if you’d rather not deal with any Christmas clean-up!

The Christmas rose, on the other hand, are part of the buttercup family and can be a little more troublesome. If nibbled, they can cause more unpleasant symptoms like vomiting and diarrhoea, making them a plant to admire from a safe distance.

A bit of planning goes a long way, so whether you stick with poinsettias or swap out helleborus for a safer alternative, your home can be festive, fabulous, and worry-free this Christmas. 🎄🐶🐱

Introducing The Garden Book– a project inspired by my lifelong love of flowers and plants, and the art that they create 🌿✨

Someone recently said to me, 'Jade it's obvious you love flowers, you're literally covered in them,' and it's true – my first tattoo was a collection of my family's favourite flowers and since then I've incorporated plants into almost every design I have 🌻

That love for nature and the creativity it inspires has shaped not just Fig and Fern, but also this journal.

It felt only fitting to have the cover illustrated by (who is basically now an expert in articulating my thoughts and ideas into the most stunning botanical illustrations 🌿🙏)

Inside, it’s everything I’ve needed this year to consolidate my garden plans in one place:

✨ A planting calendar

✨ Monthly garden plans

✨ Space for to-do lists and notes

✨ A designated seed sowing log

✨A plant care tracker to keep on top of routines

This journal is more than just a tool; it’s a celebration of the beauty and organisation gardening brings to our lives. I can’t wait to share it with you all! 🌸💚

Asparagus ferns are absolutely stunning with their soft, feathery foliage, and I completely understand why so many of you have asked if I sell them alongside my other fern 🌿

But here’s the thing – despite their name, asparagus ferns aren’t true ferns at all! They’re actually members of the lily family, and hail from the humid forests of southern Africa.

If a curious cat or dog nibbles on their berries or comes into contact with the sap, it can cause skin irritation, upset stomachs, and more serious issues if eaten. It’s for this reason that I’ve chosen not to stock them in my pet-safe colletion 🐱🐶

But I couldn’t resist their beauty entirely, so I’ve found the perfect solution: showcasing them in a terrarium!

Enclosed and out of reach, they can be enjoyed safely while adding a touch of elegance to your space. A little slice of greenery 🌿 all the charm and none of the risk!

This terrarium (and many more) will be available at tomorrow's night market! 6:30-9pm at project 83 - and you know what they say...early bird gets the worm so don't miss out!

Beach combing, flower spotting and stone skimming 🐚🌷

This rose lost all its leaves and flowers after we were forced to move it in the height of summer 😅 was so worried it wouldn't make a comeback because it was such a massive beautiful display but she's back and I'm so happy! 🙏🥰 Just in time for some autumn rosehips!
