What's it Like to Live in a Greenhouse? Houseplant Home Tour - Ep 163

- I know I'm not the only one who has wondered what it would be like to live in a glasshouse. Well, look no further, because I found an ecological community in Culemborg, Netherlands, who actually DO live in greenhouses. Arguably, one of the finest in the community, is a modified glasshouse owned by Amar and Jeroen, and for which we'll take an extensive tour-both indoors and out on the grounds.
This Houseplant Home Tour on 'Plant One On Me' is brought to you by our partner-sponsor Espoma at www.espoma.com. And thanks to Elori Kramer for helping take the bulk of the edit on this!

I've been getting some comments from folks on my other videos as to why I'm not safely sheltering in. Please note: I am safely at home in New York-sheltering in. These videos have been filmed BP (Before Pandemic). As you can imagine, we don't produce, film and edit these on the fly. They really do take a lot of time, care, and effort for us to produce, so tend to come out several months later. Regardless, I hope you enjoy this 75-minute episode while we're all sheltering in. Stay safe everyone. Sending you much love, light, and plants. 🙏
Hi Summer, stay safe!! Greetings from Singapore.. 😊
"BP"... I love it 😂
I knew, without asking, that you were home. Much love, light and beauty. Stay safe. I've been to Holland once with a photography workshop. And then Japan. Travel is wonderful. Thank you for sharing.
No. I will not accept your perfect explanation. How dare you? I'm triggered. 🤣💖
Of course these are filmed before "BP". I can't believe anyone would think otherwise.
This man needs his own channel. His voice is so soothing.
Thanks 😃 🌿 💚
i ve to agree your voice calms me down :)

@@George-of6rl SUCH A LIKABLE PERSONALITY!
AGREED! HE SEEMS LIKE SUCH AN AWESOME PERSON!
Oh man, re-evaluating my life.
We all are!
Life, environment… *culture* . 😳
This episode is the definition of wholesome content. The plants, the cats, the house, his personality and Summer.
Thank you so much for your response and stay safe!
@@DutchUrbanJungle My country is in a lockdown so yeah I'm as safe as I can be. Hope you're safe too.
So glad you enjoyed Dk R. Thanks for always tuning in.
You can do it if you want it. Go for it!
This guy really is so sweet and docile lol.
Amazing. I can‘t believe there are people who live like this. How fortunate they are!
Thank you so much for your response and stay safe!
I know, that house is like heaven!
i know right.....must be nice.
Only 5 degrees below outside summer temps is pretty brutal though. That would mean Summers where I live would routinely be 27 to 32°C (~80-90°F) indoors!
Never heard of the Garden of Eden?
Living in a green house with many plants and a cat.
Wow, this man is living my dream life
Edit: 5 cats
Thanks! And that's correct, we have five cats 😺💚
@@DutchUrbanJungle Oh my god I'm so following you on Instagram. I love the plants but especially your personality! You seem like a super chill person!
@@Nouveau0 thank you so much for your response! Nice to hear and keep following me on Insta! 🌿💚
I live in the tropics,a few kilometres away from the ocean, a few mins away from a Lake, surrounded by coconut trees and get lots of fresh fish and veggies, people think its awesome but it's really humid and warm 😂.
Same 😂 I was like, love that hi cat matches his house… oh 5 cats lol
i'm so impressed with the sustainability of the eco-village !!!
imagine if we all transform our cities into such villages we can almost reverse climate change !!
That would be great! That's the whole idea behind the development of this eco-district (EVA-Lanxmeer) and to inspire other places to do this, so spread the word! There are other eco-districts and measures that can be done. They can be found on a website in which I also worked on at the previous company I worked: www.urbangreenbluegrids.com/projects/eva-lanxmeer-results/
@@DutchUrbanJungle honestly i am really pumped by the work you're doing. I am also an undergraduate student in Botany and want to work as a Research scientist to help in such innovations and sustainable projects !! Glad you sent me the info about EVA-Lanxmeer.
LOVE YOU
@@shreyas.loves.plants good to hear and you should also really do something with this! Only together we can make the world more in balance with nature 🌿💚
Not untill we stop esting meat and diary products look it up ..🤭
@@ownsLP Opting to not reproduce would be exponentially more effective in advancing your objectives. Look it up.
See, I *knew* I loved The Netherlands
Damon Dominique I JUST finished watching your last video and here you are on summers vid haha 🌿
😃👍🏼🌿💚
Been there to Netherlands.
@Damon yes! Me too ✋
@@DutchUrbanJungle )
I can imagine having a tea party in one of those tables while it raining and surrounded by cats. OMG it’ literal heaven!
I love all the plants but all through the video I was thinking "I need to see a more detail video on the house!"
Thank you so much for your response and good to hear on our house. We're still working on a video of the house. There is a short video on my company video channel: czcams.com/video/OmT4Fkt2Nwk/video.html
Dutch Urban Jungle aahhh super cool dat jullie een kanaal gemaakt hebben! Echt super te gek huis! Wij hebben een verbouwing in gedachten met veel glas, en mijn vriend is ook palmen fan. We gaan jullie filmpjes goed bestuderen als inspiratie!
@@plantwithroos Wat leuk om te horen! Je kunt mij ook volgen op instagram.com/dutchurbanjungle/ en instagram.com/ecoengineersnl/
Wow. . What a wonderful “food for the soul“ video, i do adore sensitive humans 🦄
Plant enthusiasts are always so chill and grounded. That’s the power of nature.
What a gift for our eyes, Amar! Thank you for inviting us into your magnificent home. Summer, this episode was outstanding! This is definitely my favorite episode you have ever posted. You can really see the all the dedication you pour into these videos. Thank you for posting during this time. We all needed this! Please be safe, both of you. You BOTH live in greenhouses! :)
Thank you very much! We are very happy with our home and plants! :) And stay safe!
@@DutchUrbanJungle OMG! Thank you for replying! I just subscribed to your channel. Hopefully you guys will start uploading soon. Stay safe and best wishes to you and your family!
I'm so pleased you enjoyed the video. Amar and Jeroen were so inviting and Jereoen cooked the best meal after. Totally hospitable. Glad they replied with their Insta deets. Have an incredible day.
@@summerrayneoakes and the meal was vegan (we are also vegan)! 😃🌿💚
Dutch Urban Jungle awesome humans, gentle, kind and carrying.👏🏼
Love how Amar incorporates both modern architecture along with Mother Nature in this eco-village. Such a lovely community, would be a dream to live there or even have something like this where I live. Thank you so much Summer, for taking the time to produce and share yet another amazin video on this channel! Definitely would be great to have another "update" episode of touring this place again in the distant future. Any chance Amar might be available on Instagram or any other social media for public viewing? I'm very keen on his work with the glasshouse and would love to see more of his work on it :) meanwhile, hope you're staying safe and healthy at home! x
Thank you so much for your response! You can follow our plants on: instagram.com/dutchurbanjungle/ and my work as an architect on: instagram.com/ecoengineersnl/
@@DutchUrbanJungle thank you so much!
You're most welcome. Hopefully we'll all be back out and traveling soon. Weird times! And glad Amar got you his deets on Instagram. A must follow!
@@summerrayneoakes 😄🌿💚
@@DutchUrbanJungle thank you. I just started following you on instagram. March 3. 22
I always use my biggest plant as my Christmas tree because I don't wanna buy one haha
This year, it was a giant staked Christmas golden pothos with a monstera growing out of it. It was magnificent.
😱
There is something very special about this video, I find myself wathching this video over and over again and thoroughly enjoy it. And summer and Amar you both did an awesome tour together. I love it. Thank you both.GOD bless you both.
This is very nice to hear! Thank you so much for your response! 💚🌴
Still here after 2 years, watching this video over and over again when I feel the need to slow down 🙏💚🌿🐱 As other people in the comment section said, this video is wholesome!
I too live (and work) in a greenhouse. There is one headhouse where my room is located, and then attached to the headhouse are two rows of 6 greenhouses each. Part of my compensation is being able to live there. I am a student, and the greenhouses are owned by a university.
Amar is so pleasant and his home is stunning and inspiring. This episode was a real treat.
Thanks! 😃👍🏼🌿
I love Amar he is really natural and no air that’s it
Thanks! 😃👍🏼🌿
I never had a dreamhouse, but after watching this I would love to live in a house like this!!!! Also this content is amazing! I loved every second of it!
Thank you! 🌿💚
The cats are so curious going up to the camera and getting love. Very sweet babies.
Maaaaan, Summer really lit up when she FINALLY got to talk about bugs, it’s like all she needed. Her smile got huge, it was fun to see her nerdtfo like that
His collection and the way he has housed them, inside and out is fantastic. What a wonderful, magical lifestyle...
Thanks you! 💚🌴
His passion and commitment to plants are quite wholesome and beautiful to witness. We need more people like you two to inspire many of us to strengthen our connection with nature. Having a spiritual connection with plants is often unrecognized or misunderstood; Based off from what I’ve experienced so far, it’s quite life changing ♥️🌿
Thank you so much for your response! More people should indeed live in more balance with nature and it is life changing! 😃🌿💚
Wow thank u summer .this was the way God intended for us to live when he made us .only thing i need in my life is plant .love every moment
This was amazing. Thank you for all the time, effort, money, care, and extreme diligence you and your team put into the production of these videos! What an absolute joy it is to watch these. ☺️
You're most welcome. I appreciate your appreciation!
this is youtuhe at its best: a rich and humbling exploration of what is beyond us, offering our neighbors insight without ego, but rather with grace. Lovely host, lovely photography, lovely chonky cats. :)
Thank you! 😃👍🏼🌿
That's it! When I win millions on the lottery I'm building me a residential greenhouse! Xxx
Summer, I recently discovered your channel and this interview with Amar was absolutely divine!
Thank you for the beautiful content you put out.
Amar’s project is outstanding and he’s such a docile and soothing person. His house and lifestyle is definitely one to reckon with. Amar, I will be following you on you tube. Thank you 😊
Thank you! 😃👍🏼🌿
OH SHOOT AN HOUR SPAN! I have not started watching, but I know this is going to be goooodd. Thank you Ms. Oakes for putting up these contents, we have some escape of the not-so-good news. I hope you are safe.
Sending virtual Hugs,
Exzur♡
earrrrllyyy squaddddss hahahaha
You're most welcome. I hope you enjoy. And please stay safe.
We hope you enjoyed it. We loved it ourselves, every minute of it :)
What an exciting Tour! Love hanging out with horticulturists! Epic Garden and Conservatory!!!
Years ago, we had a huge whitefly plague, probably from over-spraying for mosquitoes, they killed all the spiders & predators. I sent away for lace-wing larvae and it was amazing how quickly the problem went away!
Breadfruit Trees are some of the HUGEST Trees. We Lost one in the last hurricane.
I can't decide what I like more - his beautiful plants or his gorgeous kitties .... :)
I didn’t want this video to end! It’s by far THE MOST BEAUTIFUL plant related video I’ve ever watched.... such a beautiful home ❤️
Thank you so much for your response! 😃🌿💚
Maaan, we are so spoiled, look at the duration! Thank you for this video. I just finished watching this. Amazing as always. 🌱🌿💚💖
Also, ads in the middle of the long duration video, I won't mind. Seriously.
*big fan right here*
Love love love 💫
I'm so pleased you enjoy. Stay safe!
We need a good informative show like this to entertain us while we are staying home safe. Thank you! Hope you're safe and healthy. Have a blessed day!
I thought I don't get jealous with other people's fortune. But wow, I am jealous for the whole video. Simply beautiful harmony of community, design, variety of houseplants and appreciative people in it. Thank you Summer for sharing such a lush content to all of us.
Thank you so much for your response! 🌿💚
I think it's important showing different ways of living-if only to serve as inspiration. Much lessons we can pull from it in our own lives. Stay safe and glad you enjoyed.
Aww such a nice video and a beautiful home. Blessings to Amar and his partner and those adorable kitties! 🌿🐱
Thank you so much for your response and stay safe! 🌿 💚
Wow, so much work, enthusiasm and knowledge put into this mindblowing homestead. Thanks, Amar and Summer!
Thank you! 😃👍🏼🌿
Loved every bit of it... also, his voice is soooo soothing, I could listen to him talk for sooo many hours.
Thanks! 😄🌿💚
The house, the plants, the weather, the cats!!!!! OMG it’s literal paradise!
😃👍🏼🌿
The cats are very lucky. What a nice set up in the kitty room...and I love that "hamster" wheel. Thank you, Amar, for sharing your amazing home and gardens with us! :)
Thank you so much for your response and stay safe! 🌿💚
@@DutchUrbanJungle Stay safe and be well! 🌺🌻🌼
During this quarantine..
All I dream about is living in a place like this..
❤️
😃 🌿 💚
This is such a charming area…. Especially with the greenhouse attached. Love this❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm both jealous and inspired by their amazing home.
Thanks! 🌿 💚
Now this is feel-good, quality content! Summer always finds the most interesting people to talk plants with.
2:16 hearing her say baw to the sheep made me chuckle
*B a w*
Wow. I'm in love with his greenhouse❤
😃👍🏼🌿
I would love to live in a place like this surrounded by plants!
I love it never know you could grow so much different palm trees , bananas and coconut tree in home, I have tried many times but failed. Thank you for making my day.
Thanks! There are a lot of palm trees you can grow indoors, some are very easy and some are more difficult to keep 🌴🌿💚
What an INCREDIBLE video and what a dream to live in a Greenhouse this would be my total DREAM home, thanks so much for sharing Sumer and have a wonderful plant powered weekend ahead XXXX
What a nice calm person! One factor of his plants thriving is definitely him talking to them in a soothing manner :)
Thanks! 😃👍🏼🌿
I find very hard to medítate but having plants really makes me let my phone away and have relaxing moments
I lived in Culemborg for two years but never ever knew it could look like Costa Rica. Fantastic
Thanks! The district EVA-Lanxmeer is one of the hidden gems in Culemborg and even in the Netherlands/Europe!
@@DutchUrbanJungle Yes it's amazing 😍
Yet another great field trip episode by Summer. I highly enjoy these.....
Fabulous! I absolutely love everything about this house, garden etc.
Thank you! 😃👍🏼🌿
I am not sure what it is, but plant people always have that cheerful, down to earth, peaceful type of personality.
Thank you so much for your response! 💚🌴
Beautiful plants, beautiful cats and beautiful home! Love all the big palms he has. Just perfection.
Thanks! 🌴🌿💚
Beautiful home!! Make me want to move to Netherlands and live that community!!!
The white cat running around. How cute 🥰
Simply marvelous!! It's truely exciting to see how much can be done as far as sustainability goes. I was fascinated to hear about the minerals the roof was painted with and how it collected and was fed back to the ground. An air purifier!! So great!!
I wanna live in a greenhouse :'(((( ❤🌱
You should do it! :D
I think we all do sometimes 😎👍🌱🇬🇧
@@DutchUrbanJungle thank you my loves❤❤🔥🤜🏼🤛🏼❤.. like` i would literally live life🐢🌱🐦♡ on a tree if i could.. :'((( ooh how i just want to die.. 😘😘
@@theresafleetwood4962 💜🦄👁🍋😍🌹
Me too
Imagine a pet Quail as a new friend? Their small and don’t like eating certain plants as long as they aren’t veges haha,, quiet little bird and so much personality
His flowers 🌺🌸🌻🌴🌿🌷🍂🌱🍃💐 🏵️ are beautiful, serenity and peaceful home. Love it thanks for sharing video. Such a calm place. ❤️❤️
😃👍🏼🌿
Just. Wow. Oh my goodness is that a dream come true! So happy for your host and thank you Summer for that fabulous tour!! 🥰💞
Summer, you are such a beautiful soul. You've inspired me to build my garden in my home! I just adore you 💞
Im completely mesmerized by his collection wow what a beautiful home! this is why i want a nice sized greenhouse in my residence can you imagine waking up to this and just enjoying a cup of tea or coffee in this environment? Perfect start to the day♡
Thanks! 🌿💚
@@DutchUrbanJungle your welcome ! Ive subbed in case if you ever decide on making videos im sure your content would be amazing you should consider it !
@@caranorini1 Thanks! I will probably consider it! 🌿💚
What a gorgeous homw
This is one of the videos that I CANNOT GET ENOUGH OF WATCHING 💕💕💕💕💕🙏🏿🙍🏿♀️
Thanks GOD... all I needed for today
After watching this making me realize how much light I wanted to have in my house to make my plants happy and can grow much bigger plants. I have tbh I’m very jealous!!
Thanks! :D
What a fabulous collection both inside& outside. I do hope the chickens get have a little roam in the garden at the end of the day before roosting... they would certainly appreciate some of that surplus Swiss Chard hanging in their coop to peck at too.
What a wonderful episode Summer Rayne and it was nice having you and Sander here. With love from Jeroen & Amar 🌿💚 #staysafe
Het kippenras zijn volgensmij Groningermeeuwtjes
We had a tremendous time. So fortuitous bumping into you a year before filming this. Thank you for inviting us into your home and opening it up to the world.
@@karlijnwestdijk1058 daar lijken ze inderdaad erg op! We weten niet veel van de kippen omdat ze al bij het huis hoorde en we de eerste eigenaar niet hebben gekend (deze is helaas een tijdje geleden overleden)... Hier zijn we een stap wijzer mee geworden, bedankt!
@@summerrayneoakes looking back at the video gave me some goosebumps, especially in these bizarre times. My compliments on how you and Sander catched the good vibes and conversations of that day. And also the ambiance of the eco-district EVA-Lanxmeer and our house. It was a relaxed and nice day to look back to! You are always welcome to visit us again in Culemborg 😺🐔🌴🌿💚
Omg first, sorry. Never been. Love you Summer ❤️ so happy to see another video of you every single day in these stay-at-home days..!!
With lovely regards from the Netherlands!
Enjoy the video Sev. It's in your neck of the woods.
A handy hint for keeping cats from messing with plants: You can't punish cats. They just learn "don't do this when the human is around." The easiest way is to get some hot pepper and make tea out of it, then spray that on the plants. It doesn't hurt the cats or the plants, but the cats learn in one go that chewing on plants isn't fun after all. It will be a little unpleasant for them that first time, but not nearly as bad as if they chew on some aroid or something in the Euphorbia family, which could be really dangerous.
Thanks for this tip! 🌿💚
That’s pretty fascinating about the thriving of the endangered species. I always believe to live in harmony with nature ❤️❤️❤️
Oh my goodness what a dream. I have to save it to watch it again because I can't take it all in at once. Thank you so much Summer
Summer, what an truly AMAZING home !!! I'd LOVE to live in a house with all the windows and plants. They're all healthy and full. How they grow so big in a year or two is mind boggling. Thanks girl ♥️🌿🌀🌱🌟♥️
Thanks!! 🌿💚
Plant lover, chicken lover & cat lover - Summer you are amazing! 🙏🏻💗 As well is Amar!
Thanks! 🐔😺🌿💚
I was truly impressed with the tour. As a house plant enthusiast, the tour has provided me with new plant collection ideas. Great presentation.
😃👍🏼🌿
Oh my gosh, the beautiful light illuminating your faces. What a beautiful space! Thank you for sharing :)
i loved this mans home, his garden reminds me of the garden i had when i lived in the desert, i used a selfwatering system that cut watering to a minimum but i got tremendous results with surprising little water, I had a garden pond and i have many micro climates and was able to grow many plants that i was told wouldnt grow in my area. I sure miss it.
Thankyou x
thankyou so much for this episode summer ! so many people just aren't aware that there are alternatives to the way we live. this was a really meaningful episode
Thank you so much for your response and stay safe!
I'm very pleased you thought so Alice. I plan to do more of these in the future when we can start traveling again :)
Fantastic video and share! What an amazing experience to walk through this home, just WOW. Is anyone else getting ASMR from this video? This is my third time watching within this week :) Plants and AMSR= Joy!
I just LOVE this video. So beautiful and informative. The good news of people living in a community in harmony with the planet is just what I needed to see and hear. My permaculture ways aren't "neat" as you mentioned and many don't understand and want the traditional tidy garden look. It's very reassuring to hear of others who believe in the same principles.
Thank you to the owners for being so willing to open their home and tell us their story. Thanks for sharing it Summer.
Thanks and hopefully this can give some inspiration for other places to make permaculture possible and more common 🌿💚
Great video. Big hug from Brazil and stay safe.
Amazing! I have often said I want to live in a greenhouse. I have seen videos of homes in Europe that had greenhouses built around them and houses with some big windows. This takes it to a whole new level. Also, I am a cat lady who dreams of having a "cat room." I just love everything about this one. Thank-you Summer and Amar. My vision for a "dream house" just became a lot clearer.
Thanks! That's great to hear! 🌿💚
@@DutchUrbanJungle Is this Amar? Thanks for the personal response it means a lot to me.
My favorite episodes are these field trips that Summer has done. I have watched many of them multiple times and learn something new with every viewing.
💚🌴
What a great interview. I love how fluid this whole segment went like 2 friends just talking.
Thanks! 😃🌿💚
In Dutch, "Kip" actually means chicken- if you didn't already know! Beautiful video, welcome to the Netherlands
That man is my opposite. I do low-light plants in the USA. He's doing some high-light plants. It's very impressive considering how far north from the equator his home is.
Thanks for the compliment! It's a real challenge here but with some trial and error I've learned a lot to choose the best (semi)tropical plants for the different spots indoors 🌿💚
These plants are truly stunning, this house is a tropical paradise!
Thanks! 🌿💚
I loved that the longer I watched the more cats I spied living their best life. ❤
This is the best video of green house I love to watch over and over again.. God bless you more..
So glad you have enjoyed.
Oh my, I pass this village on my way to work every day and I had no idea this luscious jungle was there! You can actually see these houses from the train. Definitely stopping in Culemborg next time :)
That's correct! EVA-Lanxmeer is close to the train station. During winter you can even see our house if you're sitting on the top floor of the double decker train 😃🌿💚
He is so soft-spoken that I am missing a lot. Great video.
I love everything about this video.
Thank you so much for this beautiful place and creating this content, very generous, heartwarming and beautiful
Thanks 😃🌿💚
I love plants, I love cats. Just wow
😺🌿💚
This made me feel so relaxing to watch just the way she seems so happy to be there. This is my dream to be someone where it’s fresh and green all over the place. This will be my dream home as well as place to live.
...bet you would love Panama or Costa Rico...green. Green. Huge. Warm.
Omgosh that cat room was the icing on this wedding cake of a house😍❤
