  • I know I'm not the only one who has wondered what it would be like to live in a glasshouse. Well, look no further, because I found an ecological community in Culemborg, Netherlands, who actually DO live in greenhouses. Arguably, one of the finest in the community, is a modified glasshouse owned by Amar and Jeroen, and for which we'll take an extensive tour-both indoors and out on the grounds.
    This Houseplant Home Tour on 'Plant One On Me' is brought to you by our partner-sponsor Espoma at www.espoma.com. And thanks to Elori Kramer for helping take the bulk of the edit on this!

    I've been getting some comments from folks on my other videos as to why I'm not safely sheltering in. Please note: I am safely at home in New York-sheltering in. These videos have been filmed BP (Before Pandemic). As you can imagine, we don't produce, film and edit these on the fly. They really do take a lot of time, care, and effort for us to produce, so tend to come out several months later. Regardless, I hope you enjoy this 75-minute episode while we're all sheltering in. Stay safe everyone. Sending you much love, light, and plants. 🙏

      That would be great! That's the whole idea behind the development of this eco-district (EVA-Lanxmeer) and to inspire other places to do this, so spread the word! There are other eco-districts and measures that can be done. They can be found on a website in which I also worked on at the previous company I worked: www.urbangreenbluegrids.com/projects/eva-lanxmeer-results/

Thank you so much Summer, for taking the time to produce and share yet another amazin video on this channel! Definitely would be great to have another "update" episode of touring this place again in the distant future. Any chance Amar might be available on Instagram or any other social media for public viewing?

    I was just thinking: What pet would suit Summer the best? Something that could be taken care of by the person who tends her plants when she travels. Something that eats a vegan diet :). Something that can meander around her small house happily and not hurt the plants or be bothered by them. Someone who really needs to be rescued from a shelter by someone who loves animals and is as smart as Summer. The perfect pet? A tortoise! There are so many for adoption and he or she would be the perfect low maintenance little friend.

    A handy hint for keeping cats from messing with plants: You can't punish cats. They just learn "don't do this when the human is around." The easiest way is to get some hot pepper and make tea out of it, then spray that on the plants. It doesn't hurt the cats or the plants, but the cats learn in one go that chewing on plants isn't fun after all. It will be a little unpleasant for them that first time, but not nearly as bad as if they chew on some aroid or something in the Euphorbia family, which could be really dangerous.

    So much Beauty so much fun! I love the cats I love the plants. I love that he's keeping the chickens alive it's not normal for a bird to lay more than 428 eggs a year we did that to them. They have a breeding season and they have one or two clutches of babies and then they're done. So this egg a day thing is very hard on their body and their bones. It's best that you just feed their eggs back to them give him a little scramble put the shelves back in. It helps them stay healthy is gross as it seems to eat something that came out of your own body. How gross is it for somebody else to eat something that came out of your body? 56 years of being vegan I don't touch eggs for eating. Milk /flesh... anyting. Nice to see.
