This weeks new Terrarium Workshop grads.... Good Work!













Another lively group of people came to our most recent terrarium class last tuesday. Much fun was had, much was learned, and many new terrariums have new life in them. We really enjoy showing people that they can do this. Classes abound at both stores, Brooklyn and Chicago! Anyone can learn about the art of terrarium planting for sure, and we would love to show you how.

Such a good group of terrarium class peeps!

We had a nice terrarium workshop last night, pretty fun! It is so great to see everyones different styles, woodsy, clean, packed, simple. And the choices of terrarium critters is always a funny one. A couple mail carrier figurines, a couple dogs, a rabbit. Love it! Everyone left with a new addition for their homes, and we like that.



working it out!


Teachers rule!





two amazing styles
super cool science type beaker, and you might not be able to see the Gator in the white planter, but it is way neato in the forest of succulents.
Variation, and scale.... Perfect



This in not just a jar, this is a new world. Nice work!


This rabbit has no idea its being stalked by a cute little pup..... run rabbit run.
Yes you did!

Trick or Treat.... how about grow and grow?






Black Cat and Skeleton, the latest super ghostly Nyokkis. Stop in, or grab them at our site sprouthome.com






Nyokki means "grow, grow, and grow" and that's what a Nyokki does. An adorable cast of original characters, Nyokkis are hand-made in Japan from glazed ceramic, shaped like an egg with little fabric legs. All Nyokkis are filled with a soil media and rye grass seed. Nyokki are easy to grow - seeds germinate and grass grows to full height in less than two weeks. Style Nyokki's "hair" or cut it and watch it grow again!

I like the way you close at night


I like the way you shine in the sun, your backlit just right in my eyes


I like your little tinkerbell flowers


I like your funny tuber roots


I like your toughness, yeah.... you sometimes look skinny and all gangly, but really... your tough.


I love you Purple Oxalis

our little buddies, the dancing pots, and succulents

Agate Ornaments, Object that hangs just right.
















These are pretty great right? Lookin' good, so good.
