The best accounts for self-confessed foliage fetishists

From a modern take on flower pressing and a green alternative to wedding floristry to hipster garden centres and foliage as modern art – it’s official: plants just got hip.

When they’re not designing and making uber-cool plant-related products in their North London studio (check out the copper air-plant himmelis, stoneware pots and hanging planters in their online shop), plant aficionados Rose and Caro are dressing venues for weddings and events, bringing urban spaces to life with exotic greenery (and not a flower in sight).


Mr Studio London (@mrstudiolondon)

Artist-designer duo Mike Pollard and Rika Yamasaki of MR Studio London create designs, artworks, greetings cards, drawings and prints inspired by flowers and foliage from their local environment, with a penchant for pressed flowers and leaves. Scroll through this showcase of their beautifully simple designs – and if you’re left feeling creatively inspired, try your hand with their flower pressing tutorial.
