Woven throughout The Plant Rescuer is a message of sustainability and being less wasteful when it comes to our plant habits. I explain why we should be buying plants which don’t look perfect and why we should care about so many that get thrown away. Plant production is a multi-billion-pound industry and with it comes all the environmental costs associated with mass production: energy and water consumption, peat consumption, chemical use, emissions from air and freight travel, not to mention the amount of non-biodegradable plastic used. If there was a house fire (after ensuring the safety of family and pets), what plant would you save first? We all need them for health, wellbeing, happiness and balance, but as our gardens get smaller, how can we make our spaces greener? A living wall can instantly transform a seemingly cramped, dull space into a vibrant, colourful oasis.

Measurements: The plant heights provided encompass the plant stem and the foliage length, along with the depth of the grow pot, which includes the living root system, and not just the portion of the plant that is visible above the soil level. Modern life isn’t conducive to good mental health. There has never been greater pressure to be superhuman. Stress and anxiety are a reaction to feeling pulled in all directions and are exacerbated by not having the time to invest in self care. Slowing down, stripping out the ‘noise’ of daily life and simply focusing on nurturing a plant can help to give our tired brains a much-needed rest and have a renewing effect on our physical and mental wellbeing. The first plants I rescued from the bin at my local DIY store were orchids that had finished flowering – no prizes for guessing why they were binned. Seeing them flower again following some basic care inspired me to look for other plants that could be saved before they were thrown away. There is much to learn from a change in a leaf’s colour or texture. Ignore the changes in your plant and you won’t learn anything, and it’s likely you will make the same mistakes again and again resulting in many plant failures and a waste of your hard-earned money. Plant care doesn’t require a degree in botany or horticulture, it takes nothing more than time, interest and a willingness to learn from what the plant is trying to convey through its appearance and from your mistakes. Sarah has also led the worldwide rescuer box initiative, encouraging plant retailers to reduce waste and give healthy plant a second chance.
