Earth Pathways Showcase

‘Softpots’ are a new form of garden craft. It is the art of making beautiful fabric containers for all plants, indoors or out. These lovely ‘fat-bottomed girls’ have such individual and endearing, organic forms - they are plant-pots with personality! Once made, they feel like good friends, making you smile to see them! Each one is a joyous collusion between the earth, the plant and your own creative spirit. There is something of the sacred about them. There is magic in their random decor and the final transformation created is always a delightful surprise! You can grow every sort of plant, tree, herb or bush in a ‘Softpot’. They are strong, durable and kinder to plants than conventional rigid pots as they gently cradle the roots, allowing them to breathe and grow normally. They are kinder to the planet too, because they can involve all sorts of recycled materials, such as jewelry and glittery bits. It’s good for everyone of all ages. Try it for yourself - you’ll be so glad you did!
