Controversial but....

I don't like traditional floral wreaths 🫣 I'm just not a flower person, although I do love a dead, dried flower....

However folk do love a wreath and I get asked all the time, all year round to make them. So, look what I'm doing instead as an alternative to the traditional 👀

Succulent based wreaths!

Actually planted into the wreath, these will grow and shall not be dead in a few days, you'll also be able to keep the plants for as long as you like when you replant on. Much more sustainable than cut flowers, no horrid nasty oasis, just plants and other botanical matter including Spanish moss and dried preserved moss which will have your wreath looking stunning! Top end wreaths to adorn your doorway.

Check the website for more info and to book on.

This is a special one.

I am delighted to host Whiskeywithlee for an evening of whiskey tasting and terrarium building at 6pm on Saturday 9th May at our gorgeous seaside location in Newcastle, Co. Down.

The evening will include a welcome drink on arrival, followed by three whiskeys and guided tasting by Whiskeywithlee. Intertwined will be a step by step facilitated terrarium building workshop where you will create your own little self sustaining ecosystem with everything you need provided.

So bring nothing, just yourself and we will see you there for a fabulous evening!

Who else has already noticed the return of the flies?! 😭 Seems like they've just appeared overnight... 🤮

I thought I was too early getting carnivorous plants in but I'm a sucker for them and wanted to gaze upon their glory in the shop! And so with that I've a limited delivery of Nepenthes and Venus flytraps in this week! They help get rid naturally without the horror of fly tapes and sprays etc.

In terms of care - both require lots of indirect bright light, high humidity and the golden rule, only use rain water to keep soil constantly wet.

You can reserve online for collection from Friday this week or delivery is also available.

Insta won't let me tag them directly on this post, something about them being marked as live stock 🫠 but you can find them on the website via link in bio!

Thank you lovely humans!
