A vertical garden that’s a breeze to care for – what a loving gift! We’ve offered this succulent heart for Mother’s Day and Valentine’s Day because it shows your feelings in its beautiful heart shape. Its progress of green growth and flowering echoes the growth of love. We have a few left here in the store, each with its own natural character.

ABOVE: Hardy sempervivum and echeveria succulents thrive on a vertical frame in the shape of a heart. A weekly soaking in the warm season keeps this garden vibrant. Who wouldn’t be touched by this easily growing gift?

I will buy you diamonds! This tiny world of air plants and forest elements is a resonant gift, and it’s easy to care for, too.

Got rocks for your honey? Give your love this gem of an Aerium.

Diamond-shaped vessels filled with tillandsia air plants, mosses and other forest fragments create a tiny living world. The Jewel Aerium can be purchased here at the store, or in our Web Shop.

What did I get for you? Jewels! Filled with magical air plants!

These elegant wood pieces make a powerful gift. Grooved into portraits of hearts inspired by natural anatomy, each unique plaque’s simple lines conjure the elegance of Victorian science and the visceral intensity of real bodies. We love their beautiful effects. The Heartwood Panel can be purchased here at the store, or in our Web Shop.

No one forgets a gift you made yourself. And everyone can keep a succulent growing. What better gift than something you made with succulents? We can make it easy!

ABOVE: We often call them “forever flowers” around here because they’ll stay lovely for weeks or months after cutting. The succulents are mounted on wires so they can be arranged in a bouquet. And here, we’ve combined them with feathers and tied them with a bow. The bouquet lasts for weeks, but when the plants tire of living inside, the bouquet above can easily generate a new planting that will bring your gift recipient a whole new phase of appreciation.

ABOVE: Something about incorporating succulents and tillandsia air plants into a lichen- and moss-encrusted branch turns these naturally beautiful woodland artifacts into magical gardens, each like a living architectural model of an aerie in the jungle.  Some people think they look like the belong under water.

ABOVE: Succulents are among the best plants for terrariums, because they hold up so well over time, feature fascinating detail, and effect delightful sleights of scale for that landscape-in-a-bottle feeling.Planting succulent compositions allows you to create miniature landscapes with the air of bonsai but without bonsai’s intricacies of care. It takes time to get these right, but it’s a really fun process of figuring how to combine varied textures, scales, and colors.

ABOVE: An undrained container can be planted with succulents if you water very carefully. Then you can place it on an indoor surface without worrying about the drainage. Isn’t it just lovely? We’ve got loads of different containers to chose from to create your own, and we are happy to help you select the right plants.

ABOVE: For the patient, growing a succulent vertical garden allows you to create your own painterly designs that you can watch grow and change over time, like a happier version of The Picture of Dorian Gray. Much happier.

ABOVE: After planting a vertical panel, it will need a few warm months to grow in on a horizontal surface, after which it can be mounted vertically.

We’re  hoping this gallery of succulent craft inspires you to make something for yourself or a loved one.
