Need a gift for your favorite gardener? What about a one of a kind living succulent wreath? Back in September, our Greenhouse Manager, Grace, planted this unique living wreath. It’s made of hardy Hens and Chicks. We are so happy with the way it grew in! Since we only have this one wreath we figured why not post to instagram and sell it to the first person who claims it. The wreath can live outside year round and can be redecorated for each season. The only care it needs is some sunlight and a good soak once in a while! *Rules* first person to comment SOLD gets to buy the wreath. Price is $150. We will hold for 24 hours before we move on to the second person to comment.
