Haze? They created a total of 500 kinds of plants in the forest at home.

We are eager to build a garden of our own

But because of living in a tall steel and concrete building

There is no suitable time and place for flower cultivation.

I have no choice but to give up.

Or refusing to say that when I quit my job and go back to my hometown...

Actually, you don't want to try.

You'll never know your pastoral dream.

Can be close at hand.

A girl living in Brooklyn, New York.

Summer RayneOakes

It starts with moving into a 1-meter-high fir tree.

Put her lifeless house without a balcony

Into a lush forest.

Enter the door

Now this fiddle has grown to the ceiling.

Oakes has lived here for 11 years.

In an apartment of more than 110 square meters

She has planted more than 500 kinds of plants.

From ornamental plants to edible plants

There are not only native herbs and green leafy plants

There are also some exotic ones, such as pineapple, curry leaves and so on.

Just like a country house can achieve the momentum.

In fact, it is not easy to grow flowers and grass in an apartment.

Lack of adequate space, soil, especially adequate light

These will greatly limit the types of plants that can be planted.

But luckily, Oakes's apartment has windows on the north and south sides.

And she is very good at making rational use of space.

The corners are covered with plants with different growth conditions.

Positive plants such as ivy

Planted by Oakes at the window with plenty of light.

She built miniature glass greenhouses one by one

To increase humidity and temperature.

In the bedroom, Oakes built a whole plant wall.

She also designed an underground irrigation system.

Directly connected to the sink

The plants on the wall can draw water from the ground.

Saved a lot of manpower.

The plant walls of the bedroom are covered with all kinds of green plants

Oakes gave names to different planting areas of the apartment:

Glass jar garden, herbal garden, greenhouse garden, fruit and vegetable garden.

And these are made of splints and ropes.

She called it "sky garden".

Even the bathroom.

Have been arranged as succulent gardens by Oakes.

With some negative plants that don't need much light.

The mini succulent garden on the toilet tank

In addition to growing herbs in glass cans

Oakes takes almost everything in the family

Containers of the right size are used to grow flowers and plants.

Even these recyclable tea cans are no exception.

To take care of such a forest apartment

It really takes a lot of energy and thought.

Watering alone takes more than half an hour of Oakes every day.

It takes at least an hour and a half a week.

To do maintenance work such as composting, changing pots, pruning branches, etc.

But don't think that Oakes is just doing nothing at home.

The young lady who raised some flowers to pass the time.

She is a fashion model who is so busy.

Shoot blockbusters for magazines, attend fashion week, give interviews...

Although the daily schedule is full

She still insists on doing flowers and plants with her own hands.

She enjoyed spending time with these quiet plants.

It allows her to return to herself and meditate.

"I think the only way for me to survive in New York

Is to surround yourself with plants. "

Maybe you'll wonder

Why does Oakes, as a model, love plants so much?

Turns out she grew up on a ranch on the outskirts of northern Pennsylvania

The good time of her childhood made her have a deep vision for farming and horticulture.

She likes the freedom that nature brings to her.

Oakes has been very concerned about environmental protection since childhood.

Undergraduate majoring in Environmental Science and Entomology at Cornell University

He has also published many high-quality papers.

She also plans to embark on the road to becoming a natural scientist.

However, she found that papers on environmental issues

It can only be concerned by a small number of people in academic circles.

This is different from what she expected.

She wants to help more people establish a connection with nature.

Oakes shoots publicity films on public welfare and environmental protection in the studio.

So with a good face, she chose to be a model.

But it's not just any model.

She is the first naturalistic model (Eco-Model)

Only for clothes that use organic fabrics.

Participate in the production of nature documentaries

Shoot advertisements on the theme of environmental protection

Often shouting for nature in public.

Oakes is recording a Discovery TV show.

She has worked very hard to build a bridge between fashion and environmental protection:

Wrote the book style,naturally.

Teach people to learn in a sustainable way

Lead a fashionable and decent life

Set up

"Food Station (foodstand)" App

So that residents of various communities can easily buy organic and healthy food.

In many environmental groups, such as the Rainforest Action Alliance,

Gaia Amazon, Mezimbite Forest Center, etc.

There is also her active figure.

Oakes really put himself

The love of nature is brought into full play.

Live like you want a green life:

Not only living in a small forest built by myself every day,

And use your own wisdom and ability.

In a variety of ways

To bring people closer to nature.

If you don't try,

You'll never know your pastoral dream.

Can be close at hand.
