Indoor gardens

[claudine]

I love these indoor gardens, Trellum. The second one is beyond gorgeous. I'd love to have something like this in my house, I'd sit there on rainy days and I'd feel perfectly happy listening to raindrops hitting windows

This garden is enormous:

That's so beautiful, claudine! I can tell it must have took them very long to build it. I always wonder how many people have this kind of gardens inside their mansions, hehehe. I'm really guessing most people who have them must use professional help to keep them the way they are, after all they are a luxury, but I guess we can have one in the future, at least a small one But you know what I have always wanted in my house? A skylight! I would put most of mt houseplants there and who knows... maybe I'd later use it to create an indoors garden

A skylight sounds great!
Have you watched Green Card with Andie MacDowell and Gerard Depardieu? The main character, Bronte, rented an apartment with an indoor garden and a rooftop garden. It was beyond gorgeous. It's my dream to live in a place like this
Here are two pictures from the movie:

OMG!!!!! No, I haven't watched this film, but it looks lovely just like most 90's films That small indoor garden looks like something we could both do one day Don't you love the films from the 90's as well? They all have a ''Je ne se quoi'' feeling to them, I miss seeing Andy MacDowel in movies, she has aged very gracefully! Lovely indoor garden idea

 

[claudine]

Green Card definitely has a ''je ne se quoi'' feeling to it! I can't express enough how much I like this movie, I watched it more times than I can count. So I highly recommend it. Bronte's indoor garden is more than lovely, you must see it! It's magical. If I found an apartment like this, I'd do anything to buy it

I would love to have a place big enough to allow for an indoor garden! Can you imagine the wonderful smells and the fresher air we'd breathe? It would be awesome!

 

[Trellum]

Great news!!!! I found the film on Youtube I will definitely watch it today, since I love everything that has something to do with the 90's I'm on minute 1 and already liking it I will pay attention to that indoors garden I will let you know tomorrow

 

[claudine]

Swwetkymom - yes, it would be awesome It would be like a dream come true!
Trellum - I hope you'll like it I didn't know that it's available on YouTube. I'll watch it today, too I'll never get bored with it, it's such a lovely story. And Bronte's indoor garden is the most beautiful garden in the whole world

Maddie, this is more than beautiful. I'd love to have a glass house like this only for myself
I want to share some more pictures that I've found:

I like the somewhat Japanese zen garden aesthetic of these smaller indoor gardens. The other ones pictured are too big and fancy for me and I wouldn't be comfortable living with something that grand. I like humble, comfortable surroundings.

I'm just the opposite. I feel that I'd be perfectly happy if I could live in an enormous and beautiful palace with at least three indoor gardens and a big garden outside The fancier it would be, the better. I wish I was a princess
On the other hand, I dream of living in the apartment from the Green Card, which is not very big.

I would love a large indoor garden if I could take care of it. There are definitely some gorgeous pictures out there. I'm afraid mine wouldn't do very well, though.

I would love an indoor garden. All of the posted pictures are gorgeous. The interesting thing is the pictures in this thread are a variety of styles, some of which I generally don't like...the minimalist type gardens, but I would love to have any of them. I can't help but think that if you have an indoor garden your entire house must smell amazing.

I would love to have an indoor garden, or even just lots of lights so i could fill my house with more plants.
The movie "almost like heaven" also has an awesome roof garden in it, plus it is just the greatest movie ! I have watched it several times, and it is one of those movies that is always good , no matter how many times you watch it.

There is a house called the Earthship, and it is built from recycled tires, and other used materials. The earthship is a completely self-sufficient home, and features solar heat, and an inside garden room. It is actually very affordable to build one, and if you look them up on the internet, there are a lot of different styles and prices.

I heard of earthships before and I really, really like them It's such a wonderful idea to build an eco-friendly, self-sufficient house. I didn't know that some of them have indoor gardens. It makes them even more interesting I'm not sure if I could live in a place like this though, I'm so used to regular houses.

These pictures are so beautiful I am left speechless. It would be nice to have an indoor garden to keep the plants and flowers year round.
