Lost In Plantation

I love traveling. I love all the inspiration I bring back from my many trips. I also love plants. And combining both is the perfect equation for me. But sometimes you don't even have to go away to spend a special holiday. I have discovered over time that botanical gardens are the perfect green escape for an instant holiday feel - even in your own hometown. So one sunny Saturday morning I set off to the beautiful botanical garden in Munich and enjoyed the morning sun, lush greens and I wandered from one climate zone to the next one in their greenhouses. All was topped by a fantastic outdoor garden in full bloom. Spring must be the most beautiful seasons ever, right?

So this was just a short green escape that I wanted to share with you. I am thinking of making my 'Lost in Plantation' a sort of irregular blog series featuring the various botanical gardens I visit on my travels. What do you think? Yay or nay?

Oh and by the way: All images were shot with my iPhone on-the-go as I did not take my big camera with me. I still hope you love and enjoy it!

Happy green week to you all!

Giveaway: Win One Urban Jungles Terrarium

We Urban Jungle Bloggers love plants and planters. We love our plants in pots, in crates, in hanging planters and in terrariums. And when an Urban Jungle Blogger meets a brand named Urban Jungles - it is a match made in plant heaven! And to make this heaven like feeling perfect, I am inviting you all, my dear readers, to rejoice in plant love because you can win one of the Urban Jungles terrariums for your home!

Urban Jungles is a Dutch brand specialized in plant terrariums with a small range of beautiful examples in the typical geometrical design. These little beauties are perfect for any plant lover - they make a cool urban appearance in any corner of your home.

I've filled my terrarium with dry, sandy soil and planted just a few little succulent babies I had in other pots. I added some of my rock crystals for good (plant) energy and left the main space for a lovely Tillandsia better known as airplant.

I experimented with the placement in my tiny home but I realized it makes a great appearance everywhere - on my sideboard in the bedroom where I created a little vignette, on my windowsill accompanied by the other plant siblings, on piles of books in my living room as a little visual highlight.

If you feel like your home is ready to host an Urban Jungles terrarium, here's the easy way to join the giveaway and win one terrarium of your choice. All you have to do is the following:

1. Leave a comment under this blogpost stating which terrarium model you want to win. Choose your favorite model in the webshop of Urban Jungles. 

2. You will find my Urban Jungles terrarium on my Instagram account too. Follow me on Instagram and leave a comment under the image to double your chance!

3. Hop over to my friend Judith's blog who is giving away one terrarium too and leave a comment there to triple your chances!

The giveaway is open worldwide and closes on Sunday, February 15th, midnight CET. Good luck!
