Today’s episode is truly EPIC. I met up with Summer Rayne Oakes doing an in-depth tour of her incredible house in Brooklyn, NYC. Summer is known for her website, Homestead Brooklyn and her wildly-popular YouTube series, Plant One On Me.
What makes her house so epic, you ask? She’s created a veritable urban jungle, with 500-700+ houseplants in just about every nook and cranny of her house.
She’s growing some rare and difficult to cultivate species, but also growing in a variety of methods. From sub-irrigated plant walls, to a Biopod, to classic containers, there’s something to learn in this video, no matter what type of indoor gardening you’re into.
Plus…she has Kippee the hen as a pet! I was thoroughly impressed by Summer’s breadth and depth of plant wisdom, as well as how she connects it to a deeper way of life. Truly something special.
I hope you all enjoy today’s video and if you’d like more tours like this, please let me know who I should visit next!

Thanks for sharing my space (and my feathered friend) Kevin
I like Summer Rayne's home! I wish I could have that many house plant every where in my house , but my husband is resisting , however I keep a quite big collection of orchids (about 150) and about 50 house plant. Thanks for doing this interview with her.
How do you keep down the knats
The amount of root pruning and repotting she must do, it's probably a neverending job.
That’s not a hen it’s a rooster

I'm curious: what about dampness/mould/seepage? Are there any issues with these? I love the indoor plant look; so beautiful, calming and relaxing. How wonderful to surround yourself with something you are so passionate about!
Others have done sub-irrigation walls far earlier then this one.i enjoy her enthusiasm and concept.
