Treat a friend, or yourself, to a little joy.

Our same fantastic materials and creative design sensibility are now available on a smaller scale, delivered directly to the home of your choice. These custom-designed planters make thoughtful presents, thank you’s, and tokens of appreciation, or order a treat for yourself. Longer lasting than a cut flower arrangement, and safely delivered to the doorstep or outdoor space where they will live, these container gardens are a perfect way to let someone know you are thinking of them. We make it easy - simply choose a container from our rotating stock, tell us your color scheme, then let us know where it is going. We will custom-create your order with the freshest plant materials. Your container will arrive at its destination within 48 hours (or on a future date that you specify), with a card if it is a gift as well as care instructions. It’s an easy, stylish and long-lasting way to send some floral joy!
