Succulents, Plants for the Vacation People

If you have not seen our succulents selection you should. They are in our indoor green house. You only have to water these plants once a week if they are outside in the sun. If they are indoors you only have to water them once a month! This means you can go on vacation without thinking that you are killing a living thing. There are so many varieties. Keep it simple with one type of plant or mix it up with a bunch of different textures and colors!

orchid love

Lately at the shop we've been overcome with love for orchids. Maybe it's our new plant section with grow lights and everything you actually need to successfully take care of plants... Yeah, that could be it! But seriously, they are just so pretty. There's nothing quite like a beautiful orchid. The Lady Slipper in the top left is my favorite, what are yours?

planter jealousy

I was just perusing Apartment Therapy, which I don't do nearly enough and already found something I want. This vertical planter is amazing and such a great idea. Now if only I lived in sunny San Fran...

late summer wedding

These are from a wedding we did in August. It was held at Architectural Artifacts here in Chicago. The bride wanted plants that her guests could take home after the reception. So, we planted, oh about 85 of these. We loved her idea so much, we even made a few for the shop!

our indoor greenhouse

We are in the process of building a greenhouse in our shop. We have so many doors and windows just lying around that we decided to build a greenhouse in which to house our plants. It will be nice for them to have their very own home in our shop!
