Artificial plants? Are you for real?

The title of my latest article for Hort Journal Australia should leave you with no illusions as to my feelings for fake plants. You can take them, I will leave them!

But rather than getting all hot under the collar here on my blog reliving bad memories of “plastic fantastic”, click here to read my article for yourself. Then make up your own mind!

A variety of green leafy plants with different shapes and patterns. The central leaves are dark green with light centres and red veins, surrounded by other green leaves with white veins and stripes.

We’re heading down to Hobart for the next few days, ostensible to take in the proceedings of the International Plant Propagators’ Society’s conference. I bet there are no fake plants there!

Stay tuned to hear about our trip down south…

A bientôt!
