Jeremiah C."If you're looking for a custom cactus, succulent arrangement this is your place! Owners are very friendly and helpful went down and bought 4 arrangements for family for Mother’s Day—Jon built beautiful arrangements. I highly recommend this small local business."
Lisa Larsen"I would consider myself an extremely fringe-minded craftsperson who can definitely think outside the box so when I saw a black holiday wreath with 'living' succulents on it, my mind was blown away: a stunning, living and breathing piece of art that is still thriving. The care in packaging and easy to follow instructions have made this a showstopper in my home."
Tommy V"I recently received [one of your] magnificent arrangements as a host gift from a friend and I was stunned at just how intricate and beautiful it is! As they say: 'presentation is everything' and the gift didn't disappoint. Complete with an instruction card (thank you!). The ease of care is thoughtfully explained and is quite simple I particularly love the variety included in my arrangement and the container is stunning and would have been an awesome gift on its own. What a refreshing alternative to the standard bottle of wine or scented candle!"
