Hey guys,
Almost a year ago, I stumbled across the YouTube channel “Plant One On Me” while I was looking for some propagation tips and I was thrilled. Summer Rayne Oakes was born in June 1984 in the countryside. She is an American fashion model, environmental activist, author and the adoptive mother of the hen Kippee. In 2005 she moved to Brooklyn to explore how she could help the industries with her environmental knowledge to impact our everyday lives. Summer has been focused on sustainable food, agricultural systems and our connection to what we grow and what we eat.
In 2014, she founded sugardetox.me to help people to come to terms with their sugar intake.
In 2016, her home went viral because of the over 700 plants she grows indoors.
With her blog and YouTube channel “Plant One On Me” and “Homestead Brooklyn”, she wants to reconnect people in the cities with nature through simple things: a walk through the botanical garden, a potted plant or even fruits from a farmers market. Summer focuses on gardening indoors and outdoors, cooking healthy, low-waste living and travelling with a purpose. In 2017, she released the first audiovisual course on houseplant cultivation, care and maintenance “Houseplant Masterclass”.
Over the past ten years, Summer became famous for her work in the world of fashion and she was recognized as the first eco-model.
Today she has more than 750 plants in her apartment in Brooklyn. On many YouTube Videos she takes us on room tours through her indoor jungle and explains how we should take care for some special plants. Furthermore, she gave us many watering hacks and how she manages to water more than 750 plants.
Summers lifestyle fits perfectly with my ideas about a balanced and happy life. I highly recommend you to watch her YouTube channel if you are interested in plants and a balanced living.
Lovely greetings,
Pauline
