***SPANISH MOSS***

We've had a small delivery of Spanish Moss (Tillandsia usneoides) in response to a customer request. Helpfully it's neither Spanish, nor a moss - in fact it's a rather beautiful, trailing air plant from the tropical central Americas. These are super easy to care for - a quick weekly spritz and monthly 20minute soak.

The Eco-village is open until 8pm tonight and then Friday and Saturday (9am - 4pm) and NEW on Sundays in December (10am - 3pm). I'll be here some of that time but you can always message me directly too.

***BABY IT'S WARM INSIDE***

We are all set up inside @refill.revolution.oundle with beautiful plants, beautiful pots, fabulous copper @hawswateringcans accessories and mini packs of @shell_on_earth .

Pop in for a look and a chat. We are joined by @mistrykitchen and @lucy_loves_this and of course all your refills.

***OUNDLE***

It's going to be a wild and windy Saturday tomorrow (27/11) so our friends at @refill.revolution.oundle have found us some inside space so we can still safely bring our beautiful plant friends to Oundle. You will find us scoffing @mistrykitchen naan buns INSIDE at Refill at the Wharf.

We'll have a selection of houseplants, these astounding Begonia "Purple Blush" (picture two), delicate orchids, Xmas cactus full of buds and double amaryllis (Hippeastrum). Look out too for these cute little plant pots (picture one) and perfect copper watering cans (picture three).

The last slide is a picture of the lovely sunny day we had when we last came to Oundle - it'll still be lovely to see you all tomorrow, but colder!!

***IN THE COURTYARD***

We are set up in the courtyard at @ecovillageuk today with lots of beautiful pots, accessories and some special orchids. We have all our beautiful plants on the shelves in the main room too. There's always loads going on and we'd love to see you.

***THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLANT*** I don't usually st

***THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLANT***

I don't usually stock Poinsettia, as you can buy them for a quid in the supermarkets, but as an alternative can I present this fantastic Begonia Rex "Purple Blush" which has hit our shelves at @ecovillageuk today.

Gorgeous.

***BEAUTIFUL ACCESSORIES*** It's been a busy week

***BEAUTIFUL ACCESSORIES***

It's been a busy week here at windowsill HQ with lots of beautiful gift ideas arriving, including a stack of @shell_on_earth and some fabulous @hawswateringcans.

These aren't yet on the shelves at @ecovillageuk, but they'll be making an appearance at the pop-ups next week (Thursday 18/11 - Saturday 20/11) at @ecovillageuk, the Artisan Fair (again @ecovillageuk on Sunday 21/11) and @refill.revolution.oundle (Saturday 27/11).

If you absolutely cannot wait to get your hands on a copper watering can just message me here.

***IN THE HOUSE***

I'll be in the main room at @ecovillageuk tomorrow (Friday 05/11) afternoon from about 12-4pm AND Saturday from 11am ish to 3pm ish. I love to help with plant choosing and can give advice on which plant might be right for you or how to care for your new plant friend, so it's the perfect time to come in and see what we've got.

I'm covering for Varsha @mistrykitchen so we can also talk about her delicious take away curries (hello royal vegetable korma) or I can explain exactly why you need a @tinker_and_fix hori hori in your life. There's always lots to see and eat and drink and I look forward to seeing you!

I've had a couple of days away from things this week. Hopefully I've caught up on replies but if you haven't heard back from me please message me again.

I'll be back in the main room @ecovillageuk tomorrow (Saturday 30th, from about 10.30am to 4pm) if you need any help choosing plants or care advice. There are some luscious leaved plants in stock at the moment, so pop in let's find your new plant friend.

***THURSDAY*** I'll be at @ecovillageuk this afte

***THURSDAY***

I'll be at @ecovillageuk this afternoon between about 3pm-6pm with a new delivery of plants for your delectation. It's a good day to pop down after work because @hellotwooldgoats are serving tacos (meat, veggie & vegan choices) from 5.30pm to sell out and there's rumours of margaritas too.

Later in the evening I'll be visiting Welford Gardening Club to talk about the delights of houseplants. I really enjoy doing talks to groups but there's always that anxiety that the Q&A will throw me a curveball!

I'm back at @ecovillageuk on Saturday with a stand in the courtyard. Did someone say it's almost Halloween?

In the meantime enjoy this gorgeous combination of plants from my collection at home. (Maranta 'Lemon Lime', Ludisia discolor, Philodendron micens and rescue orchid)

***Saturday at Ecovillage ***

I'll be at the Eco-village - in the main room, tomorrow (Saturday 16th) between about 10am- 3pm for all the plant chats. Pop in if you need help choosing the right plant for your space.

I'll be bringing a very few of these Hoya kerrii vines (yes, you read that right - actual vines!). These are pretty tricky to get hold of and I'd be smug but they're sadly not in the very best condition. However this means they are a REALLY GOOD price.

As usual there is loads happening at @ecovillageuk - pop in for your essentials from @refill.revolution and fruit & veg from @emmaofecofresh and of course amazing curries from @mistrykitchen. There are also a few new businesses in the main room, so you might find something interesting.

***JEWEL ORCHID*** I love these little plants, Lu

***JEWEL ORCHID***

I love these little plants, Ludisia discolor - they have deep burgundy leaves with pinstripe detailing and are as easy to look after as their orchid namesakes. There are a very few of these for the shelves at @ecovillageuk tomorrow, but I hope more will arrive next week.

I will be in the main room at @ecovillageuk tomorrow morning for all your planty questions. Lovely @dorte_kjaerulff is doing a free (*donations to Home Start) pumpkin photo session from 10am, so I'll be busy cooing over babies but I'm always easily distracted by jewel orchid chat.

***DAY TWO***

We are back at @greenrooms_market at @fargovillagecov today (Sunday 10th) until 4pm. It's a green paradise with all sorts of plant sellers, including our @leafhouseplantfestival friends @soil.ninja and @the_crafty_planter and beautiful dried flowers from my neighbour @fleurandrebelle.

I'm planning my day around what I'm going to eat from @bibnoodlebar so catch me between noodle slurping for plant chats.

We are all set up and ready to go with an amazing selection of beautiful plants to make you happy.

We would love to see you if you are near @fargovillagecov.

***BEAUTIFUL PLANTS TO MAKE YOU HAPPY***

Today I've been having a chat with my plants and getting them ready for our first trip to @greenrooms_market. We will be at @fargovillagecov this weekend (Saturday 09th & Sunday 10th) with lots of planty friends.

We'll have loads of beautiful plants for you to take home to your jungles and are always happy to chat plants and give placement and care advice. Stop by and say hi.

I'm sorry but I cannot make it to the scheduled pop-up tomorrow (Saturday 25/09) at @ecovillageuk.

I hope the reschedule for sometime soon but in the meantime if you have any urgent houseplant soil mix requirements please just message me - although, please be patient if it takes me a little time to reply.

There's still loads of beautiful plants and pots for you on the shelves at @ecovillageuk Market Harborough and lots happening there tomorrow for the end of Big Green Week, so pop along and check it out.

***PEAT-FREE HOUSEPLANT MIXES***

This Saturday (25/09) you will find us in the courtyard at @ecovillageuk Market Harborough. We'll still have all our beautiful plants and pots on the shelves in the main room and will be bringing back some of the cacti & succulents in the courtyard.

AND, in celebration of Big Green Week I'll be bringing all the ingredients to mix up bespoke peat free houseplant mixes. Different plants need different soils and I use the best quality components to achieve the perfect mix. Going peat free is one of the easiest changes we can make to protect the environment and with my special blends your plant friends will thank you. If you can bring a big enough tub to take the soil home it would really help!

***THIS WEEK*** It's all happening at @ecovillage

***THIS WEEK***

It's all happening at @ecovillageuk with lots of activities in collaboration with @sustainableharboroughcommunity for Big Green Week - pop over to their links for a full rundown.

We have plenty of beautiful plants to make you happy on the shelves in the main room and I will be in the main room on Thursday until 2pm if you need some help in deciding what plant is best for your space. You can always message me here if you need any advice.

On Saturday we are popping up in the courtyard @ecovillageuk Market Harborough and will be bringing peat free soil and mixes for those late summer repots. More later in the week on why being peat free is vital for the environment.

***OUNDLE***

I hope you're ready, because I'm bringing ALL THE PLANTS to our pop-up tomorrow - I'm not kidding, the car is packed to the roof with pretty much every plant currently in stock, including these intricate Calathea musica (sometimes called C.network).

We'll be at the Wharf between 10am - 2pm thanks to @refill.revolution.oundle. There's loads happening and you'll find us stuffing our faces with the delicious ban buns from our Eco-village mates @mistrykitchen, who will also be there with curries and snacks.

Don't forget that our @windowsillplants shelves are fully stocked at @ecovillageuk in Market Harborough, who also have loads going on tomorrow and all next week for Big Green Week.

I'm excited to be visiting somewhere new and meeting loads of new plant friends - see you all tomorrow!

Just a reminder that our beautiful plants and pots

Just a reminder that our beautiful plants and pots (and houseplant books) are available all week at @ecovillageuk, which is open Tuesday to Saturday, 9am to 4pm with late night opening until 8pm on Thursday. There's loads of sustainability minded businesses and you can grab a coffee or lunch from @hellotwooldgoats and have a browse.

This week I will be in the main room on Thursday morning from 9am to 2pm, so pop in then with all your planty questions or message me here. We're also due a MASSIVE restock on Thursday so it'll be a great time to take your pick of the finest houseplants before I divert some to my pop-up at @refill.revolution.oundle on Saturday.
