The green of Solso Farm and the branded stones that support the feet.

There is nothing better than the "real thing" in any age. Blundstone, which has been in business for 151 years, was supported by workers as work shoes, and was even adopted by the Australian Army during World War II. Today, Blundstone shoes are recognized as a fashion item, and at the same time, they support the feet of real workers such as horticulturists. We visited SOLSO FARM, a plant store that employs them as uniforms, to hear what heavy users have to say.

How to enjoy plants the Solso Farm way.

Solso Farm offers a wide variety of plants, from indoor plants to garden plants, as well as pots to hold the plants and tools to care for them.

We have customers here from the city center and from the neighborhood. We have a wide selection of products to suit each lifestyle, such as the shape of the house and whether or not they have a family. We want our customers to enjoy the time they spend in contact with the plants and make their selections, and we display them in a way that makes them think that a space with greenery is nice. After all, we want to tell people that plants are nice."

The word "lifestyle" has become so conveniently used that we are inundated with images of the word. The literal meaning of the word here is "life style. This is because plants are not something you buy and then call home. They are living things that must be nurtured. If your lifestyle and plants are not compatible with each other, you will end up with dead plants.

Plants are affected by the environment, such as sunlight, but they also go hand in hand with a person's way of life. I want people to keep making mistakes, but it would be sad if they let them die because they are living creatures. I hope that through repeated failures, you will enjoy the compatibility of the plants you want to display and grow with your lifestyle and the way you take care of them," says Ihara.

The store is staffed with plant professionals. However, it is ultimately you who grow them. It is good to think about when is the best time to water plants according to their needs. However, finding plants that suit a person's lifestyle is another way.

For those who have to be away from home for months at a time, or whose homes do not get enough sunlight, there is also the option of using fake greenery as a way to enjoy looking at them. Plants and people have many ways of interacting with each other, and it is important to enjoy the process of growing both plants and yourself through trial and error when growing plants and other living things.

Rather than offering the right answer for raising a child, we try to explore it together. I will tell you the basic way to grow them, but I don't know the right answer because lifestyles are so different from one another. I can recommend a large foliage plant if you want it in your living room, or a plant with many small leaves if you want to enjoy the sunlight filtering through the trees. But it is just a starting point. Now that people's lifestyles are changing, I think we need to study together and propose greenery that is one step ahead of the rest.
