At a certain time in life every parent faces the lull that accompanies children's increasing independence, Suzie Hilliar, the Head at Hilton Pre-Primary is in this transformative zone and has chosen to fill her extra time with an innovative hobby. Regular forages to Hospice book shops and her resultant extensive book collection, combined with a passion for succulent plants birthed this adorable vintage styled concept of recycling books and plants. Recently a journalist spotted these desirable items when they were used as décor at a Rollin Vintage stand at the Essenwood Market in Durban, an article was penned and uploaded on a blog, shortly after Suzie began receiving orders.
This art form combines plants and old books to make living objects of beauty, wisely wrapping up recycling and nurturing the planet all together. Suzie plans to experiment with a variety of indigenous succulents. Well done Suzie, another original Hilton talent has been uncovered!
