The celebration of colours, the ambient sounds, the mystic scent and the fascinating wildlife that make up the forestlands and waterbodies of our earth is the elixir of his life.
The urban nemophilist attempts to capture all of this through his green art and sustainable gardening activities while his sketching and music sets up the mood for what is nature-appreciation at its best.
His goal is to create awareness on conservation of nature and wildlife through is art and sustainable initiatives.

    I love that your terrarium was not oversaturated with too many plants. This shows that the hardscape is part of the environment, and is not just a base to be covered with tons of plants.

    Nice. I realized that a large part of your success is your boxes from which you take your cuttings i.e. having healthy plants to use in your terrarium. If you get time, I'm sure i'm not the only one who would benefit from a demonstration of how you create and maintain your grow out boxes. Thanks again for the lovely project.
