According to The Natural History Museum by 2050, 68% of the global population will live in cities. Even with the predicted ‘urban exodus’ resulting from Covid-19, cities will naturally always be high-population density areas and the majority of housing will continue to be flats with little or no outside space. Whilst urban living offers a huge amount in terms of culture, opportunity and diversity, it can be difficult to get a daily fix of nature that is so essential for mental and physical wellbeing. This has become ever more evident as people’s time outside has become limited, or even temporarily paused altogether.
In order to ensure that everyone is able to get their daily dose of greenery, and to feel the benefits of nurturing and growing plants, elho has expanded its urban gardening range. This collection makes it possible for all city dwellers without access to a garden to cultivate their own pots of wellbeing.
The elho greenville trough long (50cm) has been specifically designed for the narrowest of spaces, and can turn a simple windowsill into a green paradise. It’s perfect for creating a mini herb garden on a kitchen windowsill, or for adding a fragrant and colourful touch to the outlook of a living room, conjuring a botanical view even in the midst of an urban jungle.
With a handy, built-in water reservoir, all of the watering is taken care of, so even total novices can plant these pots up with confidence that they will last without fear of over or under-watering. The greenville trough long is available in natural white, green, modern black, grey and vintage brique, so there is a subtle colour to suit any style and home.
For those with limited ground space, the best thing to do is to go up! Vertical gardening can transform small balconies and patios into lush, green oases, enveloping outdoor space in foliage and blocking out pollution and noise. The elho corsica collection has been a well-loved bestseller for years, and this larger addition to the vertical range means that even more plants can be added. Simply click the pots together, hang on a balcony railing or wall and plant up! It’s a really smart way to make the most of limited space, and it looks great too. There are six colours options, from vintage blue to vivid violet.
Being surrounded with greenery is important to help stay happy and healthy, and shouldn’t be the reserve of those living rural lives – growing plants is accessible to eveyone, even those with limited outside space and elho is dedicated to make it as easy as possible.
