    A florist has opened — offering flowers made from biodegradable balloons.

    Each bloom is made using balloon twisting or sculpting, where long, thin modelling inflatables are folded and locked into shapes. 

    Making a single flower takes time and skill because the materials don’t behave so well when twisted tight according to the company behind it called Ballooms.

    The adult-orientated colour palette goes fr dusty orange, pale blue, cream, and bright yellow-green rather than balloons seen at children’s parties for example.

    The flower balloons are made from natural latex from a rubber tree. 

    Farmers make small cuts in the tree’s bark and the text drips out as a white, milky liquid drips.

    The latex is collected, treated, and shaped into the thin, stretchy material to produce the flower balloons. 

    The material is 100 percent biodegradable, so it breaks down naturally over time. 

    There’s no plastic involved in the making and twisting of its garden flowers. 
    The store has opened in Toronto, Canada.

    A new pocket sized device is offering soothing sounds — made by hooking it up to plants and fungi.
    The Pocket Scion resembles a personal MP player or iPod and plugs into sounds known as bio-sonification.
    That is the process of transforming the bioelectrical data of living organisms, such as plants and fungi, into sound and music.
    Electrodes attached to the plants detect their electrical impulses and bio-rhythms.
    These are converted into audible signals through devices and software.
    This technology is said to allow people to hear the imperceptible inner workings of nature, creating unique "musical fingerprints" that reflect the organism's state and response to its environment.
    The device is the result of a collaboration between a musical project called Modern Biology , the alias of Canadian musician Tarun Nayar who is also a biologist, and synthesiser firm Instruö, based in Scotland.
    The top panel of Pocket Scion features a circular sensor surrounded by intricate, organic patterns that are said to evoke natural forms and circuit board aesthetics.
    The sensor responds to signals from whatever it is connected to whether that’s a houseplant or moss during a forest walk.
    The device includes four built-in instruments named Secret Garden, Fungal Waves, Treebeard’s Koto, and Soil Circuits.
    Each designed to complement different types of biological input.

    OPS: The Pocket Scion has electrodes that clip onto the plant being used as the sound source.

    A new pocket sized device is offering soothing sounds — made by hooking it up to plants and fungi.
    The Pocket Scion resembles a personal MP player or iPod and plugs into sounds known as bio-sonification.
    That is the process of transforming the bioelectrical data of living organisms, such as plants and fungi, into sound and music.
    Electrodes attached to the plants detect their electrical impulses and bio-rhythms.
    These are converted into audible signals through devices and software.
    This technology is said to allow people to hear the imperceptible inner workings of nature, creating unique "musical fingerprints" that reflect the organism's state and response to its environment.
    The device is the result of a collaboration between a musical project called Modern Biology , the alias of Canadian musician Tarun Nayar who is also a biologist, and synthesiser firm Instruö, based in Scotland.
    The top panel of Pocket Scion features a circular sensor surrounded by intricate, organic patterns that are said to evoke natural forms and circuit board aesthetics.
    The sensor responds to signals from whatever it is connected to whether that’s a houseplant or moss during a forest walk.
    The device includes four built-in instruments named Secret Garden, Fungal Waves, Treebeard’s Koto, and Soil Circuits.
    Each designed to complement different types of biological input.

    Africa's small-scale revolution against big agriculture: five farmers talk greener, better food
    Devotees of agroecology tell the Guardian about their rejection of chemicals and fertilisers to create diverse and thriving crops

    From degraded fields being brought back to fertile life to community gardens flourishing as food co-operatives, a growing revolution is happening in countries across the African continent.

    Ska Moteane, Lesotho
    Beans had always been a staple of the Basotho kitchen but Ska Moteane found they were steadily being replaced by meat and fast food. Her people were even forgetting their own recipes.
    So she decided to document what was at risk of being lost.

    KA profiles African farmers activists
    Trained in European cuisine, chef Ska Moteane has devoted her career to instead document her Besotho culture which she said was at risk of being forgotten

    Africa's small-scale revolution against big agriculture: five farmers talk greener, better food
    Devotees of agroecology tell the Guardian about their rejection of chemicals and fertilisers to create diverse and thriving crops

    From degraded fields being brought back to fertile life to community gardens flourishing as food co-operatives, a growing revolution is happening in countries across the African continent.

    Stephan Katongole, Uganda
    Stephan Katongole's father returned to Uganda in the early 2000s after decades abroad, he planted coffee trees on the family's hitherto abandoned farmland.
    Despite having no agricultural experience, Katongole took over the land 13 years ago, when his father was too old to manage it.
    Katongole slowly transformed the vast lines of coffee trees to a more diverse space, where they coexist with other plants. He says monocropping should no longer be seen as a solution.

    Katongole says agricultural lands were brought out of balance and should be returned to the forests they once were.

    Themba Chauke, South Africa
    In Limpopo in north South Africa, everyone ate what they could grow. Now the supermarket reigns supreme.
    Chauke saw many of his neighbours become indebted purely trying to feed their families on low salaries.
    He had been working with community radio for his Tsonga ethnic group, but moved into creating community gardens that provide education and space for people to grow quality food.

    A drought showed Edie Mukiibi the shortcomings of industrial scale agriculture. He was part of a trial that encouraged farmers to invest in a breed of maize that they were all told would be drought resistant with the help of the fertilisers they were sold. Then drought came and they lost everything.

    Kyiv's botanical garden staring at disaster as Russia targets Ukraine’s energy sector
    Destruction of Ukraine's energy infrastructure puts botanical garden's rare and exotic species in danger.

    The Mykola Hryshko national botanical garden in Kyiv. Founded in 1935, it is Ukraine's biggest garden and one of the largest in Europe. It is home to about 13,000 species of trees, flowers and other plants from around the world. The 52-hectare (130 acres) site has scientific departments and two laboratories.
    But the park is now staring at disaster. In recent months, Russia has systematically destroyed most of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. The city authorities have said they will not be able to guarantee supply in the freezing months ahead.
