Living in Harmony with Nature

As a cafe and nature lover, I have collected some ideas from these cafes to decorate your own houses to make you feel cozy and relaxing like when you have good vibes at cafes. Also some tips for living in harmony with the nature by using plants as decorations and using other stuff to apply with plants to reduce the trash as these ideas could save our mother earth from the global warming.

1) Cafe at Home
  You do not need to throw away your old hat as you can use it to decorate your house; for example, they applied this old hat as a vase. It looks so simple and blends so well with the cafe

For a planter, you do not need to waste your money on planters anymore, since you already have your colourful planters like glasses or cups.










The planter that you see in a below picture is a wooden basket that they reused it, so we do not need to use any plastic as it is one of reasons why global warming is the crisis nowadays. Therefore, if we have choices, choose what do not harm our earth and other living things.

You can put the plant in a broken bicycle's basket. We called this plant "Wan Kab Hoi" or  Oyster Plant. It is an ornamental plant. Not only does it has violet leaves that look very captivating, but this plant has many benefits, such as a cure for aphthous ulcer.

In this cafe, there are some flamingo flowers or " Na Wua"(Anthurium andraeanum Lind) which have crimson petals. They are suitable for hot and humid weather, so they are so popular in Thailand. 

บุษบาฮาวายด่าง Asystasia gangetica (L.) T.Anderson or  (Chinese violet, Coromandel) was planted at the front of the cafe as it flowers entire year, so this plant is highly recommended for people who love to plant a shrubbery that also can be an ivy too. As you can see, this dead tree is all covered by the Coromandel.

Finally, the main reason why I am really fond of this cafe is that they grow organic vegetables for their menus.

They plant so many kinds of vegetables; for example,  cabbage which has a lot of fibre recommended for people who do not like vegetable's smell , chilli which produces endorphine that can make you feel happy, and parsley which can promote your healthy digestive system.

They also plant the jujube honey jar tree which its fruits have so many benefits, such as  treatment of sleeplessness and anti cancer effect.

Coatbuttons or Mexican daisy is commonly used to decorate the house or cafes, as well as it makes the place seems more green and that makes the visitors feel more relieved. It grows easily, so there is no need to water or fertilise it.
