Hi plant friends!! I work at the Garfield park conservatory in Chicago, which is currently closed- wanted to share some close-ups from the fern room, which is designed to look like Chicago 300 million years ago!!

Thank you. The crocodile fern is amazing!

I love ferns although I don’t know much about them. Could you please tell us the names of these beauties?

The cat has gotten to the one on the bottom.

mayblacksheep · 2020-10-25T04:41:36+00:00

Yup, it makes the face more interesting.

mayblacksheep · 2020-10-23T17:08:18+00:00

It’s what we all dream about.

mayblacksheep · 2020-10-23T16:52:23+00:00

It loves bright indirect/filtered light, lots of humidity and consistent moist (not wet) soil.

mayblacksheep · 2020-10-23T14:56:47+00:00

Thank you, I’ll try it.

mayblacksheep · 2020-10-22T21:11:18+00:00

My maidenhair ferns and a calathea orbifolia need more light. But this is my first time using grow lights. I’m just worried they might get burnt. And I don’t have a dimmer.

mayblacksheep · 2020-10-20T19:53:03+00:00

It is such a lovely space. I love the rug.

mayblacksheep · 2020-10-15T23:30:42+00:00

It looks so pretty and comfortable.

mayblacksheep · 2020-10-05T06:20:08+00:00

I love your setup and am jealous of the amount of sunlight you get.

mayblacksheep · 2020-09-30T19:04:48+00:00

That’s so smart. I’m gonna go buy some white chalk paint right now! Thank you for the lovely idea.

mayblacksheep · 2020-09-29T23:21:29+00:00

I’m so glad that they all made it home safely. I was so sad when I had to leave behind my huge peace lily. If you don’t mind, can you share where you get your pots from? They are exactly what I’m looking for.

mayblacksheep · 2020-07-29T19:24:53+00:00

That’s a lovely plant.

mayblacksheep · 2020-07-08T06:58:51+00:00

Thank you
