Wow, what a week! We joyfully launched our #urbanjunglebook in Munich last Friday and life has been one big whirlwind ever since. The book launch was such a festive occasion: Igor and I presented the result of nine months of hard work to bloggers, journalists, homeowners, plant lovers, in presence of both our partners. The Read article…

Cacto Cacto in Madrid
Cacto Cacto is THE place in Madrid where you can stock up on beautiful cactus plants and succulents. For our #urbanjunglebook we recently gathered some of our favorite plant shops from around the world and this one was also on our list.

Urban Jungle Bloggers #30
One plant and three stylings. This month's Urban Jungle Bloggers edition sounds pretty easy. For the styling part at least. But picking ONE plant was my challenge. I have many favorites: I love all my different cacti that come from all over Southern Europe, the new Oxalis plants, my thriftshop plant, some little cuttings… Enfin Read article…
Botanical Garden in Munich
In every new capital or large city that I visit I try to visit the botanical garden. They are my happy place and most of the time they are SO very beautiful, refreshing and remind me how amazing tropical and exotic jungle actually are. When in Munich a few weeks ago, we had a little Read article…
Urban Jungle Bloggers #29
This month's Urban Jungle Bloggers topic was rather easy. Because in our cinema room where Robert and I have dinner-for-two, it's impossible to dress the table without plants. Well, usually they are not ON our dining table, but the last time I counted there were 66 plants in this room. On top of all the Read article…
Cactus Oase in Ruurlo Holland
Last week I had the privilege to visit the Cactus Oase in Ruurlo, the Netherlands. Well, rather than a privilege, it was quite a long and slow ride through the Eastern Dutch countryside 😉 but very much worth it if you love cacti as much as I do. The Cactus Oase is the largest privately Read article…
Urban Jungle Bloggers #28
Plants & Glass: seems like the perfect topic to get back into the blogging groove as Igor and I have been delved into planty of work for #urbanjunglebook in these past few months. We just finished the first manuscript and lots of photography, so I almost feel like my plants: waking up after months of Read article…
Wild & the Moon in Paris
The other day I passed by this window on my way between two client meetings in Paris. Especially now that we're working on #urbanjunglebook I see plants everywhere. So I couldn't not go in here and take a look at all those plants. I was pleasantly surprised: this café and restaurant looks really nice: old Read article…
Urban Jungle Bloggers #27
Botanical Zoom! It's quite hilarious how this month's Urban Jungle Bloggers topic fits my life at the moment: Igor and I are in the middle of working on #urbanjunglebook so it's pretty much all about botanicals. And it's all about the details too! My very favorite plants are (big) cacti: they are tough and grow Read article…
