Being born and raised in the mountains, I have always been close to nature. Breathing fresh air in lush green surroundings gives me a high that’s inexplicable. It calms my mind just like meditation and takes my senses to an unparalleled world of joy and pleasure.
When I was growing up, we used to have a garden in front of our house where my mother spent most of her time. She used to water the plants, trim them and feed them with essential nutrients regularly. It was one of the important daily tasks that she handled with great dedication, without fail. This little routine brought her so much joy, satisfaction, and inner peace. It was this passion of hers for gardening that introduced me to the wonderful world of plants. Gradually, I started taking more interest in growing plants and taking care of them while sharing frequent visits to garden with my mom.
A few years back, I moved to Delhi because of my job requirements. Being a metro city, the space crunch is a big problem that hits an outsider like me the most. Somehow, I managed to rent a 1 Bhk flat in a decent location and started designing the interiors. I added a lot of plants to give a fresh and green look to my abode. Seemed like growing plants at home was my only option to stay close to nature and breathe pure air in a city, where the alarming rate of pollution is a major concern.
I choose plastic planters to grow plants. Because they were less expensive and can be easily moved from one place to another. They were easy to clean and added beautiful shades of color to my house. But what I noticed after a few months was something unexpected. The plastic planters did not last long and broke down after a few months. Also, plastic pots are prone to fade in sunlight, which I noticed on the planters on my balcony. At the same time, I came across the fact that plastic planters are laden with toxic chemicals that are harmful to the environment. They may leak toxins into the soil and actually reverse the benefits of growing plants at home.
So, I started researching online and offline, the eco-friendly ways to grow plants and stay amidst greenery. Around the same time, my mother informed me over the call that my brother has sent her a plant from the USA via Ferns N Petals as a Mother’s Day gift. It arrived in a beautiful concrete planter along with a card, which had essential care tips and benefits of concrete planters. Concrete planters are strong and durable and last for years altogether. They have no harmful effect on the environment, unlike plastic pots. The thickness of concrete containers helps protect the soil from temperature fluctuations.
I started browsing Ferns N Petals website where I came across an amazing range of concrete planters available in attractive colors, shapes, and sizes. The innumerable options of concrete planters at reasonable prices will spoil you completely. I added the planters I liked to my cart and placed the order the same day. Once the order arrived, I transferred all the plants to concrete planters from plastic ones. Trust me, my plants never looked so beautiful and healthy before.
In hindsight, switching to environment-friendly concrete planters was the best choice that made for a great addition to my home. The fact that concrete planters from Ferns N Petals are durable and eco-friendly gives me the satisfaction of doing my bit in keeping the environment safe and clean.
