Khoollect’s hotlist of green thumbed Instagrammers

Plants, trees, flowers, large outdoor gardens and tiny indoor plots – as long as we’re surrounded by something green we’re happy here at Khoollect HQ. On the days when we can’t get outside to enjoy the parks and gardens around London, we’re content browsing Instagram for some green-fingered inspiration– from food to flowers to ethical, sustainable and organic small businesses. Here’s our favourite green Instagrammers.
