Wisley Houseplant takeover inspiration

Good afternoon, I recently visited Wisley RHS gardens with my dear blogging friend Brenda. We enjoy regular catch ups and every time we visit there is something new to see. A new exhibition is running in the greenhouses until March called "The Giant Houseplant Takeover" and what fabulous take over it is. 

They have created 6 "rooms" which have been literally taken over by houseplants...
How brilliant is this dressing table in the bedroom.
This is the entrance...they must have had such fun making up the names and creating the scenes.







I adore succulents so this dining table display to me was just perfection 
but I think you would be in for a surprise if you sat on one of these chairs 😄
Bath anyone? 

There are so many fun details to spot..cheers, mine is a G&T please.
At the exit you take a token to vote for your favourite of the six rooms...Entrance, living room, bedroom, kitchen, dining room or bathroom. I voted for the dining room but I wonder what you might choose, they are all just splendid.
Our wonderful visit inspired my make today,which is also one of my samples I am making with the brand new Visible Image release which is on preorder now and is released this Saturday 15th February.

This is one of a pair of tags I have made, I will share a step by step and the other tag soon but you will see them on the Visible Image Facebook Live this weekend.
The set is called Break free

My flower has spotted the sunshine and has broken free from the vase...shattering it in its excitement! I wonder if it has gone to join the houseplants at Wisley 😊

A close up of the shattered glass and spilt water, which in real life is very textured indeed. My recipe for making this  is secret for now but all will be revealed soon!
and one last shot.

    I haven't been to Wisley for ages (no car, hard by public transport) but saw Brenda post on FB about your trip. Gorgeous photos.

    What a fabulous and clever exhibit! I devoured each photo and found such fun ideas in each. I like the orange flowers as fire in the hearth and the "candles" in the candelabra. Thanks for sharing. Quite a card design! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
