Most girls love getting flowers… it’s romantic, they smell nice and the give a pop of colour to your interior décor. I’m not most girls… I would MUCH rather be given plants over flowers. Sounds weird I know, but their leafy green textures are much more appealing to me than flowers whose pollen stems are bound to leak all over my desk or ruin anything I’m wearing.
For those of you in Dubai who know where to shop for these, there’s a few hotspots I’d head to first and one that I would DEFINITELY recommend for outdoor landscaping. The Dubai Garden Centre is my go-to green house normally, not just because of their delicious little café – Roseleaf, but they have plenty of little indoor plants at only 10, 15 AED each that look très cute dotted around the house. There’s a new garden centre up at Al Barari that I am dying to check out, but I’m hoping to be surprised at the prices up there.
My favourite little nursery is just behind Wasl road’s Spinneys, on a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it lawn around the corner, full of gorgeous ceramic vases and plenty of tall leafy’s for the terrace. Cheap and very cheerful, we’ve recently spent an afternoon homing bougainvillea and grasses on the patio.
I’ve trolled through Pinterest (none of the below are my images) to find those gorgeous green elements for our home, which is fittingly known as ‘the beach house’.
Here’s my favourite finds… time to get inspired by all this greenery!
