Welcome to the Nineteen Seventies<\/strong>, an era when love for pet rocks was excessive, water beds were the rage and a budding passion for \u201cSelf- sufficiency\u201d flourished.<\/p>\n

Our generation has an erroneous belief \u2018Green living\u2019 and Self-sufficiency has to be expensive, tiresome or, dare I say, boring. With the help of unique craftsmen and garden festival motivators, you too can begin your own journey of simplistic green living.<\/p>\n

London\u2019s streets are occasionally sadly strewn with debris, but this unfortunate occurrence inspired Polish Designer, Alicja Patanowska\u2019s indoor plantations. With \u2018Plantation\u2019 the RCA graduate translates both the finesse of designing an innovative product from abandoned drinking glasses and the delicate growing process of a plant, through the visibility of its stem and root. The porcelain objects rest inside varying shapes of discarded glass vessels, which, when turned upside down can be used as a mini greenhouse, perfect during seed germination.

Another innovation in Self-sufficiency is the Eco Pod, bringing the allure of author Frances Burnett\u2019s secret garden into the home. The easy to energise healthy eco composition contains a self-watering system, allowing plants to grow with ease, whilst its alabaster pod mimics seventies minimalistic style.

At the helm of celebrating guerrilla gardeners, green community projects and large-scale installations, all in the name of a greener London, is Chelsea Fringe at Nine Elms on the South Bank. Running throughout May and June the international garden festival, now in its fourth year, draws inspiration from Southbank\u2019s horticultural and industrial heritage. Chelsea Fringe events across Nine Elms will cover all conceivable topics under the umbrella of landscape, gardens and environment; it also looks at rejoicing in the area\u2019s successful efforts in reclaiming private industrial land for public use, linking public squares, outdoor recreational facilities and more.<\/p>\n

Horticultural Spa & Apothecary Experience<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The festival features a \u2018Horticultural Spa and Apothecary Experience\u2019, part interactive greenhouse part pneumatic bubble. The futuristic tea ceremony invites communities in the very core if a natural high and once inside, they are served tea through clouds of fragrant medicinal fog consumed through breathing and absorbed into the skin.<\/p>\n
