LONDON PLANT SHOP Tour: N1 Garden Center - Vlog 036

Earlier in the year, I managed to stop over in London on my book tour for, "How to Make a Plant Love You", and got a chance to see the plants for sale at the N1 Garden Center, which was one of the plant shops podcaster Jane Perrone had mentioned to me. Amazing to see the differences in plants in London compared to the United States!
**Please keep in mind that this film was done pre-coronavirus, so wearing masks and staying a 'safe' distance was not required, but thank you to all who express concern. **
Jane, who you 'met' in this video is writing a book and is working on funding it. If you're interested in contributing, click here: unbound.com/books/legends-of-...

Hey summer, I just wanted you to know how much I Appreciate your videos. I’m a recovering addict of h and after a couple years of faking it till I made it, plants have really become a thing I can truly put before myself and care for. With your help I’m up to 20 plants and more on the way. You have truly been part of my process of turning my life around. (I’m literally in tears) but I need to thank you for all you do. Keep it up. You have inspired me to be a better person. It’s really your fault passion. I love it. Thank you so so much for all the helpful info you provide. You really are a plant saver. it till

Not your fault…?.??passion…….your passion. Is what I respect.

[@sabbirs2423]

Exactly what I was thinking, even zooming in on high up plants quickly without shake (using some sort of a stabilizer I guess). Production values on this channel are very high.

[@cloversquid]

I honestly wish they were a little bit more focused on close ups of the plants, I wanna see all those little details they're talking about! Otherwise, yes, very good camera work :)

[@Ste74H]

I used to go to this shop when I lived in London. It has such a wide selection and the staff were very helpful.

@Alonso Fisher it worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thanks so much, you saved my account !

[@alonsofisher8910]

@Joaquin Yehuda no problem xD

[@kyrad6543]

What a brilliant shop! I love how over-stuffed it is. And so interesting to see the plants that we do not have in the U.S.

[@kenclarkeis]

This is my local garden centre and plant shop. Love it.

Summer: gets excited about all the dead stick plants. Also Summer: skips over the king anthurium.

[@camillabruerberg452]

Haha, yeah! I was like: "but....wait, wait!!

[@ja-uh9gz]

I have a dead stick plant...not as big as the one in the video. I learned about it on one of the "365 days of plants" videos. It's beautiful, in an ugly sort of way...lol. :D I'm attracted to stick-like plants and rhipsalises (sp), too.

[@ikerpaz6636]

I am learning English with your channel. I'm a biologist in Brazil, and it is a pleasure to watch those videos. Your channel has a lot of rich information that is displayed in a nice way 🌿🌿

[@nunezmelisa]

By far the cleanest, greenest looking plants I’ve seen in a shop! Beautiful and great shop

[@teensymarie]

Imagine going into a shop with a head cold or any kind of illness at all, let alone without a mask. How things have changed since this was filmed.

[@sophiekresin1401]

Exactly what I was thinking

[@coagulatedsalts4711]

the whole time i kept thinking “why isn’t she wearing a mask” 😭😭

[@CarolineNiggAyaLee-Janet]

in Asia, especially Japan for the longest time, people with even a slight cold have been wearing masks but it’s not the case in the US so..

[@teensymarie]

@@CarolineNiggAyaLee-Janet yes, it seemed really strange to us until now. Still seems strange to some people, here. I wish we could be more like Asia.

You’ve come from the other side of the world to my nearest garden centre N1 Garden Centre where I’ve never been and I’m watching your video to see what house plants they sell 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@miracudrag]

:))

[@RaphCocson]

Ah, back in the day when we could still shake hands. I never expected garden shops in London to have this much assortment of houseplants.

[@tonibauer2405]

They are super popular in the Netherlands, also.

[@theempress2508]

This was like my favourite houseplant shop tour of your's 😍💚

[@rootedinplants]

That was an incredible shop, I'd get one of everything!

[@Neilhuny]

Darn - I just wrote the same thing! I should have looked down the comments first

[@tonibauer2405]

I no longer have a house on which to take out a second mortgage, and they wouldn’t all fit in my one bedroom apartment, no matter how hard I tried, so I am out. Sigh.

[@541bruksi4]

what a lovely shop tour! just what i needed at the end of a stressful monday.

[@Alejandro96JAC]

41 minutes of joy for my day! Thanks summer rayne. Love from Argentina

[@fyreboi83]

This is CRAZY! While watching this video I was also trying to research the plant I bought today at the supermarket was. Then, you showed the Jatropha Podagrica and I lost my mind! What are the odds that the day you put out a video you probably filmed some time last year in London with an obscure plant in the mix would come out the day I purchased an unlabeled plant you showcased!?! AWESOME!

[@TheMillennialPlantDad]

How can one person be so knowledgeable about plants. Damn !!

[@SylusFyynch]

I like your voice Summer, very relaxing to listen to at the end of the day 😊😊

[@7puggiescyndycarruthers193]

oh man, what a selection! i have plant envy for sure now. thanks, Summer. really enjoyed this.

[@dinorossi3837]

Really like this video, it's interesting to see different types of houseplants grown overseas.

[@maggiewatson8678]

Loved it! Cozy place w/ a nice variety 👌🏾🌿💖

What a gorgeous selection of the variety of plants, many unusual and very healthy. I was salivating watching this tour.

[@solroyo2494]

I was at that same garden center probably just a few days before you (Oct 13th 2019)!!! I know I missed your book tour by just a couple of days. I was in London visiting some friends who live near this garden center and they took me there. I had just started getting into houseplants and took some pics of this place, which looked so pretty and with such a variety of plants I was not familiar with. Coming from Spain, this place was kind of exotic to me, in the type of plants they had. Looking back, I would probably be able to name a lot more plants than last year. Hopefully I will be able to go back soon!!

[@stardoll1995]

the variety of plants is incredible!

Thank you so much - a very pleasant and educational video.😍 I admire your memory and knowledge.

[@juniperparla3584]

There's an epipremnum pinnatum called 'Blue form' that is green. Probably the one in this shop. Apparently there has been many labelled as Cebu blue since many people want them, but that are actually the blue form. I have them both and the blue form is clearly not the same as the cebu blue. Love them both 💙🌿

[@emiliabernecka6847]

Yeah true Cebu is very difficult to find in the UK, pretty much only sold as cuttings

[@juniperparla3584]

@@emiliabernecka6847 I bought mine as a cutting and the difference in price is a strong indicator of whether it is a cebu blue or a blue form, here in Europe at least 😅

[@AryaWinter]

Thank you, Summer rayne. I really need this refreshing view. I’ve realised because of this video that i have a lot of jungle cacti and still looking for more so this video is very helpful.

[@samias_jungle]

The plant at 12:48 does look like a Hoya cumingiana to me. The hanging plants at 14:02 is Hoya pauciflora and at 14:22 is Hoya wayetii. I have all of these Hoyas in my collection. They're all beautiful plants!

[@tonibauer2405]

I love Hoya. I have had a variegated one in a window in the same pot for years, often a bit neglected, and it does well. It came from a little piece swiped from a big one hanging in a restaurant. My sis took it home, planted it, and it quickly became a large plant. She then gave me a piece which I planted over a decade ago. I Have repotted it once. It does flower in warm weather. Hers unfortunately died after being moved from one house to another, I offered her a piece of my variegated one, but she had already bought another, pretty, but not variegated. I am a retired nurse, and would occasionally fill in at a local psych ward. There was a hallway which had huge variegated Hoya hanging under a greenhouse type ceiling which afforded great sun. I think they were rarely watered, but looked healthy and were covered with blooms.

[@samias_jungle]

@@tonibauer2405 I love Hoyas too! I've over 60 different types already. Thank you for sharing your Hoya story!

Wow Summer's in London! What a great little plant shop, they were so well stocked too! I would always think that the USA had a better choice but there's always something different where you travel, so an American being impressed with what we have surprised me haha. I am not sure London is the best place for large garden centres, and there are so many huge ones, but I would be happy visiting that one every day myself! Thanks Summer... sorry about our weather!

[@Nicholas.Tsagkos]

That's my favourite plant shop in London ! It was in my old neighbourhood in Hoxton and i was paying a visit whenever i wanted to relax, it's a heaven, and the variety of plants is huge! I had bought biophytum sensitivum and i loved the plant, eventually it died, but i would buy it again, it was a beautiful little plant that closes its leaves when you touch it.

My Zebrina is growing well with ~30 cm leaves right now. I have had it for less than a year and so far I learned that they are easy to care for. But that they require misting on the leaves to keep them looking good when grown indoors. Saw some 60-80 cm long leaved on ones in a plantstore nearby, the stems were much thicker too.They looked amazing (in Sweden).
