It’s time for another dose of Instagram inspiration, and this month I’m delighted to introduce Michelle (@michellelouise__) of lovely blog Blend & Bloom. I’m a huge fan of Michelle’s beautifully calming images, which capture peaceful moments, little treats and the mighty landscapes around her home in northern England.

Urban Jungle Bloggers | A ‘plant gang’
The latest Urban Jungle Bloggers challenge was to create a ‘plant gang’ – a grouping of plants in all shapes, sizes and textures that celebrates the rich diversity of greenery available.
