A nature reserve in your home
If your passport has run out but you still want to enjoy the beauty of the North American nature reserves, bring nature into your home! Start with a lifelike photo wallpaper with a vista of mountains and greenery. Then dress the room with plants and flowers that seem to have stepped out of the photo. You can place impressive indoor trees like Dracaena, Pachira or the biggest cactus you can find along the sides. In the lower areas you can let the most colourful flowers bloom. For example by placing cheerful summer bloomers in small vases of various heights on the floor. A hanging kokodama also lends more depth to your nature reserve wall. But look out for bears and other denizens of the wild!
