Terrarium Building Class Wednesday July 7th, 7pm

Wednesday, July 7 at 7pm: Terrarium Class -
We'll demonstrate the steps for building an open terrarium, including planting mediums, plants that work together, and maintenance. Participants can bring their own container and purchase the materials (rocks, charcoal, soil, and plants) for a fee or they may purchase a container at the store. If you bring your own container, make sure the opening is wide enough to fit your hand into. Material charges are based on the size of container and plant pricing (estimated charges are $35 - $75). RSVP to info@sprouthome.com space is limited

Eco Pots...

These will not cost you much, yet they more than do that job. These planters are made from rice husks, corn husks, corn cobs, and all natural coloring agents and bonding agents. Love using the word agents.... These planters are compostable, not that they degrade any time soon. 4-6 years is the life expectancy of the Eco Planter. check them out here if you like.

Pencil Tree Plant, we have to be together.

I don't care that they say your leafless, I don' t care that they say you need to be in bright light, I can water you less during the winter months... they said that also. I can deal with all of these things baby, it's easy. I just have to think of us together, happy and growing together, and it becomes second nature. It's not like your demanding and difficult, your so not. Your very easy to deal with. Some people think your too skinny, and get freaked out by the slightly caustic sap that drips out when you have been cut. I tell them to stop hating on the thin ones, and to just be careful and not cut you (I mean, why should they be cutting you anyway?)

I have seen you when you were just a small stick figure of a plant, and I fell for you then. I have even seen you when you were like 3' tall, and had a fuller figure, I loved that too baby, all of your looks look good to me. I love the fact that your from Africa and India, though i'm still trying to figure out how you could be from both. One of my friends told me that your not suppose to be good for children and pets, look! Children and pets don't matter to me baby, and if we have them around, I'll keep you out of reach from them. They would only break your amazing green skin, and get causic milk sap in their eyes.... I would laugh for a minute, then tend to them, but I would be thinking of our growing love the whole time. And look, I know your Latin name can sound a bit off putting, but come on, Euphorbia Tirucalli has a pretty ring to it. You should go by that, I always found pencil tree plant to be a bit strange.

I live in Zone 5 here in Chicago, and I know your use to living in Zones 8-11, but I would just keep you inside. If we ever move to a warmer climate I would for sure put you outside... If you wanted that. Point is, I saw you at the cafe today, and I have to let you know one way or another, so why not now? I hope you read this and let me know somehow.

I saw you through the window... Your very pretty.

I was walking down Damen, and I looked into the window at Sprout Home. I don't know why I looked, it was like there was an inner voice in my head telling me "look, it might be the one", so I looked over my shoulder in the most unsly way. And there you were, so beautiful, glistening in the grayness of Chicago's fall. Blue, Violet, Deep Purple, so ablaze with color. I fell for you fast. There is nothing that will keep us apart. Especially since the people at Sprout told me I could take you home for $3.99. I felt a little bad while I watched them slip you into a bag, I wondered if you were afraid. But now that I see you on my brightly lit end table, I know your happy. I have kept you moderately moist, just like they told me to. I hope we can make it forever African Violet, your the tops. Or should I call you Sainpaulia, your cute Latin name. Either way, I'll treat you right. Even if your living in a 4' planter, i'll move you into a bigger home when you tell me you need that. I know you miss your friends at the store, but maybe they will also find true love with a lucky someone.

Woolly Pockets, and Wally Planters

These are wool and recycled plastic planters. They are super unique, and well... just look at them. The Wally's are the easiest way to get your living wall system going. You can group them, or just have one up. The Woolly Pockets look great as stand alone planters for sure. Changing the way we look at planters, change is always good. Get em here....

I"m your venus....

Yeah baby you got it, i'm your venus, i'm your fire, your desire....

You know you want some of this.

Amazing Event !
