My guilty secret: I want to be a gardener. Maybe it’s because it’s a new year and the natural world will soon be bursting back into life, but I’m suddenly taking much more notice of gardens. Whereas normally I’d drool over the latest in cutting edge architecture, I’m now finding myself obsessed with the accompanying gardens instead. I now dream of modernist garden designs, and have decided to spruce up my own garden. Which is how I came across the furniture/plant hybrid products by Japanese company, Mindscape. It’s a great idea that combines interesting plant shapes with a place to sit and contemplate the garden.
