A monstera plant with a Jeremy pot and tray – made by hand from Italian charcoal clay. This may vary slightly from the image.
The trailblazing architectural monstera, now found in any self-respecting plant lover’s home, was first loved by the Victorians. When it arrived from Mexico, they ate it up – well not literally. Evidently its fruit must be perfectly ripe or its sharp needles lodge in the mouth (ouch). Despite this, the plant sparked a trend and sent the Victorians hunting for new and interesting plant specimens. They didn’t have NASA back then, but today NASA tells us that the monstera is one of the most effective plants for reducing air pollution. The plant that launched a thousand houseplants.

Grow your houseplant collection with help from The Glasshouse, a social enterprise creating opportunities for ex-offenders through horticulture.
Their plants start life in the glasshouses at HM Prison East Sutton Park in Kent, where ex-offenders grow and nurture them. While working on the project, they train for a level 2 RHS horticultural qualification, learning everything from propagation to design. The programme is a stepping stone – away from past mistakes and the prospect of reoffending, towards a fresh start and employment in the future.
As well as the practical horticulture skills, hanging out with plants has some amazing benefits for people involved in the project too – as it can for everyone. Being close to nature and greenery can bring productivity levels up, anxiety levels down, fill the air with more oxygen and be a positive influence in many other ways.
The Glasshouse continues to support ex-offenders who join their project beyond their time in the glasshouses too, helping the women keep moving forward upon release. The two things which most often lead to reoffending are lack of secure housing and employment. So, they help in linking people up with job placements and housing.
Add to your houseplant family with one of their lovingly raised plants and know it’s already been a force for good.
