How adorable is this? We're big fans of Rosanna Tasker's work, but this one is our favourite: called 'Sanctuary'. It's a calming homage to the peaceful process of caring for your plants. We only wish we had this much space to water our collection instead of trying to cram them all into a bathtub... 

Working as a freelance illustrator from her Bristol studio, Rosanna creates semi-surreal scenes and narratives, with a passion for the magic of the natural world. Outside of commission work she is writing her own children's book, exhibiting and selling fine art prints, and managing a studio space with artist friends.

It's almost as if this print by talented artist Sakina Saïdi is speaking directly to us. We never need to be told to buy more plants – how many counts as too many, anyway?

Sakina is a plant-loving illustrator living in London and we love the cheery palette and positive, motivational messages in her artwork. She believes in bringing people together through love and positive values and her colourful illustrations will put a smile on your face (case in point, above).
