& shades of green in-between
Hello, welcome, and thank you for visiting our website.
Apple Pea Fern Sea shares an on-going collection of ideas and projects focussing on plants, psychology, and creativity. We write monthly posts, create fortnightly videos on YouTube, and sell plant and nature-inspired artworks online.
There are, broadly speaking, four categories of video outlined below (plus a few in an idiosyncratic class of their own, such as ‘Insect Emotions’):
A whimsical musical series of videos following seasonal changes at the iconic Sissinghurst Castle Garden in Kent.
Planting ideas including growing and caring for perennials such as agapanthus, salvias, and Japanese anemones, cottage garden style planting, drought-tolerant landscapes, and Mediterranean gardening.
The aesthetic appeal, history, and philosophy behind beguiling Japanese-influenced gardens at Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.
The effects of nature and gardens on our health and well-being, including the spatial psychology of the world-famous White Garden at Sissinghurst, the impact of colour on mind and emotions, and research findings on formal and wild styles of planting.
The name of our website and YouTube channel reflects these four aspects of ‘green’ close to our hearts …
We hope you enjoy our website, and wish everyone nature-soothed minds and flowerful times.
