The way he walked away like he’d just unlocked forbidden Mum lore 😂

Too late. The damage was done.

Should’ve said: I’m making plant babies, son! 😂

What an awesome evening celebrating little Holly’s 10th birthday with the sweetest garden party!

I had the absolute pleasure of making terrariums with all the girls. It was so lovely listening to their stories, giggles, and imaginations as they created their own little worlds.

Such a beautiful afternoon filled with creativity, laughter, and special memories. ❤️ Happy 10th birthday, Holly!

Well… where do I start? This honestly feels a little overwhelming 😅
So many people have told me, “You need to show your face more ,  people want to know who you are!” and encouraged me to speak in front of the camera. But if you know me in real life, you’ll know it takes me a few minutes to warm up before the real me comes out 😂 That first awkward “Hiii…” always feels a bit unnatural to me.
But here I am… putting my big girl pants on and finally saying hello 💚
My name is Kalyani, and I’m originally from a tiny (but beautiful) village called in the northern part of moved to Aotearoa/New Zealand in my teens because of the war, and it quickly became my second home. Later, life took me to the UK, where I married the most wonderful man — the biggest supporter behind my small business and the person who constantly pushes me to believe in my big dreams.
We have two cheeky and beautiful children, Shiva and Shakthi, who keep life busy, loud, and full of love 🥰 and my kids think im famous  when they see my work any where or workshops around them . Lol
Our Waffle; cheeky, crazy, loud, and full of puppy eyes! 😂 He keeps us on our toes and fills our hearts with so much love. He truly completes our crazy little family! Before motherhood and plant life took over, I trained and worked as an IT professional. , surrounded by wires, networks, and screens all day, I needed something calming and alive around me. That’s when I started experimenting with plants in water and pebbles — succulents (sadly they didn’t survive 😂) and jewel orchids (which somehow still alive thanks to my mum!).
What started as a hobby slowly grew into something beautiful:
I’ve always loved nature! honestly, if I could bring the entire outdoors inside, I probably would! That love inspired me to create tiny tropical worlds indoors. Since not everyone has outdoor space (or the budget for a huge garden), I began creating little plant arrangements in jars, kokedamas, driftwood plant displays, and upcycled planters....REST will be on

What a fun bunch of ladies I had the pleasure of spending the afternoon with!
What an incredible afternoon!

A room full of creative women, lots of laughter, muddy hands, and beautiful kokedama... what more could you ask for? It wasn't just a workshop—it turned into a mindful girls' gathering filled with creativity, connection, and so many laughs.

Thank you to each and every one of you for booking a workshop and supporting my little business. Your support allows me to keep sharing what I love, and I'm so grateful for every one of you.

And, as always, our curious village chickens and handsome rooster made sure they were part of the fun too! They never miss a chance to join the conversation.
