It's my first long stint back home from my #HowToMakeAPlantLoveYou book tour before I head out again. I already made weekend plans: to move around, trim, and take care of my plants. Well overdue! It's good to be home. 👍🏽💚 (at Williamsburg, Brooklyn) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4P4A2Wl69j/?igshid=emqqm27x46ag

#cryptanthus Stars of Universe . Siapa yang tidak tahu nanas? Yup! Mereka masih kerabat dengan keluarga nanas-nanasan. Buah Nanas sendiri diperkirakan bisa masuk ke Indonesia karena nanas dibawa oleh penjajah dari Sepanyol dan Portugal pada abad ke-15 sebagai pengisi lahan pekarangan, tetapi akhirnya tanaman nanas meluas sampai ke lahan tegal. Penyebaran nanas makin meluas hampir disetiap provinsi di Indonesia (Nugraheni, 2016). Cryptantus berasal dari hutan kering di Brasil timur. Spesies pertama dari genus ini ditemukan pada tahun 1831. Mereka adalah spesies yang paling populer dalam dekorasi terarium. Sayangnya tanaman ini tampaknya telah punah di negara asalnya dan belum ditemukan di alam liar untuk sementara waktu sekarang. . #cryptanthusbivittatus #bromeliads #nanas #plants #plantsofinstagram #plantdaddy #howtomakeaplantloveyou #urbanjungle #indoorjungle #wildathome #houseplants #boyswithplants #stayhome #tanamanhias #tanaman #tanamanindoor #tanamanrumah #houseplants #plantsofinstagram #urbanjungle #plantsmakepeoplehappy #houseplantsofinstagram #indoorplants #plantstagram #homedecor #urbanjunglebloggers #plantcollection #plantlovers #indonesianplants #tanamanindonesia https://www.instagram.com/p/B_7gG3PACM4/?igshid=130ydt0dnr5c0

I realize I had never taken the opportunity to introduce myself.⁣ ⁣ I’ve had the pleasure of meeting many of you over the last few yrs via #PlantSwaps, #HowtoMakeaPlantLoveYou book tour, and volunteering, but for the most part, the majority of us only ‘know’ each other in the digital space.⁣ ⁣ I guess my name is a place to start: I’m Summer Rayne Oakes. Yes, that’s on my birth certificate. My parents are pretty cool, and I’ve totally embraced the essence of the name. ⁣ ⁣ I’ve loved being outdoors since I was a kid growing up in NE PA. I drew & painted almost every day since I could hold a pencil or paintbrush…until I was about 16. Most of my artwork captured elements of nature; and I had extensive collections of pressed plants, spore prints, bird feathers, and other natural wonders in shoeboxes below my bed. I knew very early on that I wanted to take a creative approach to connecting people to their environment.⁣ ⁣ At 13 I decided I wanted to go to @cornelluniversity and study ecology and environmental sciences. Visiting that campus at an early age made my heart sing, and it really helped me become goal-oriented. I applied early decision, got in, and paid for my own way through college through a lot of scholarships, loans, many jobs and work-study & research positions—a very formative experience for me!⁣ ⁣ I never thought I would move to NYC, but early on, I got a crazy idea to begin meeting people where they were at with their own relationship to nature. I moved outside my comfort zone & explored the bounds of what “sustainability” meant in the fashion industry. Most people who follow me here will likely know me for the plants I grow, but my first big “impact” was in that world, helping popularize concepts of sustainability in an industry, which was largely devoid of those principles. ⁣ ⁣ I then brought much of what I learned into food systems after that—working on local, sustainably sourced food access in the city, and then 3 yrs ago, the world homed in on my personal relationship w/ plants. I embraced that. Now I spend my days bringing people closer to plants by bringing them closer to them, while still staying true to my North Star. It’s lovely to meet you.

London: thanks for welcoming me and #HowToMakeAPlantLoveYou with open arms. And the fact that the weather held up for one day: what kismet! Loved also meeting fellow author @theherbariumproject (who wrote an excellent book btw) and fellow video maker @kenclarkeis.

So many lovely moments last night @Cuemars for the #HowToMakeAPlantLoveYou Book Tour. I can't believe the clouds had parted for the event in the courtyard and I got to see blue sky—BLUE SKY<!> in #London for the first time in my life! ⁣ ⁣ Special thanks to our lovely hosts; and to all the folks who came to hang out—particularly those who had traveled far. Magda, (pictured in the pink sweater), came all the way from Poland; and we had a few people who made the event who happened to be in town from South Africa, Philippines, and Malaysia. ⁣ ⁣ Huge Heart Hug for the folks who shared their personal stories with me on how the book and #PlantOneOnMe has changed their perspectives and lives. This makes these #PassionProjects so worthwhile. And to my best G's who are representing the @ModelMafia Crew London: Aine, Nimue, and Janice. You all are changing the world for the better by being in it. Thanks for showing up. ⁣ ⁣ A wonderful combo of #sustainableliving and #plantfriendsIRL celebration.⁣ ⁣ Now, onto the next city....
