Regent Street
I hate shopping but I love Anthropologie. Now that I’ve accepted that everything is double the price I think it’s going to be, even with a generous mental mark up beforehand, I no longer contemplate buying anything. Instead I go there to enjoy the gorgeousness of it all. The Regent Street shop has this spectacular green wall, 50 ft high and packed with plants that are grown hydroponically. It’s been going strong for over a year now and looks as lush as ever. It can’t fail to lift my spirits, however depressed I am when I turn over a price tag.
I'm a gardening journalist without a garden (I'm currently looking for one, preferably with a home attached). In the meantime, I'm appreciating other people's gardening efforts - big and small, urban and suburban, amateur and professional. I'm peering over fences and through garden gates looking for ideas and inspiration - mostly in London, where I live. I take all of the pictures on a compact Panasonic Lumix LMC-DX3.
