An expert gardener with an eye for style, Anton Javier also has a thing for great textures – from feathery tillandsia that look like something you’d find on a coral reef, to spiky cacti and lush, glossy Swiss cheese plants. Check out Javier’s gardening blog The Green Edit, for useful tips and more stunning images.
