ali’s tale
July 6, 2008
Yesterday was a great day for the Hanging Gardens & Other Tales.
Many willing plant lovers parted themselves from special friends, to enrich the display of beautiful tales.
below is the tale told by Ali’s green friends:
“I thought I was a total brown-thumb, death to plants, until the day my ex-girlfriend took me around her garden and picked a little pup off each of her favourite succulents, sent me home cradling them gently in my lap. Watching those little plants thrive inspired me like nothing else. I was out every morning exclaiming over each new millimetre of growth. An obsession was born.
Last time I moved house I brought two trailer loads of plants with me.
Finding intriguing objects to contain my plants is my secondary obsession. Tea-pots, tea-cups, colanders, saucepans & boots have all served.
These two plants are descendants of the pups that kick-started this whole obsession.”
