A green thumb I do not possess (being green-eyed with envy is an entirely different matter). Nevertheless I still feel more in touch and at peace when encompassed by leafy things. Having living greenery in your everyday environment has been proven to improve focus and reduce stress. Perhaps this harks back to the more natural, earth-bound way we used to live as opposed to our current in-habitation of these stark, little boxes?

Renowned floral artist Elizabeth Ricci of Flower Temple can now guide your creativity via flora and foliage. A brand new designer workshop expands the space at her existing Melbourne flower shop. It hosts classes such as how to create this lush hanging string garden.

Worship at the Flower Temple 18-22 Artemis Lane, Melbourne.
