If you are looking for a great Girls Night Out event or a fun and unique Date Night, look no further than The Plant Niche for one of their hands on classes. You can schedule a private class for your group or join in on one of her pre set classes and savor the fun.
Not only is Erika very helpful and hands on, she is knowledgeable about her products and services that she has to offer. Part of her business is coming to your home or office, placing plants and maintaining them on a schedule that fits your plants life style. I know I can get discouraged when I purchase a plant and it does not do well. Erika helps to make your plant investment grow.
In one type of class Erika teaches you how to create your terrarium and allow for the best environment possible for your plants to thrive. She provides the container, tools, soil, rocks and plants for your experience. As she said you are creating an "artistic botanical garden, and you are the artist."
In our class we had the choice to create a foliage garden or a succulent garden. Usually she has each class select one or the other, so plan your class well. The foliage garden we built came with rock for the bottom, soil, three plants and moss for the top to help retain moisture for a happy plant home. To keep your plants happy Erika suggested misting the plants every so often and that the mist is like, "lotion on the foliage." If one of the plants starts to look a little weepy, add a little bit of water just to that plant. There is no need to add water to the whole of the terrarium.
For the succulent gardens, the glass bowls began with rock, soil, three plants and then they layered with rock and sand. We had adorable little tools to help move our sand and rocks around so as not to damage the plants after placement. The tools helped to bring sand and rock into artistic shapes and make a lovely home environment for the succulents. Erika suggested keeping the succulent terrariums in a location that had good indirect light and some humidity so the plants could pull the water from the air. I think a bathroom with some lovely light would work wonders for this tiny garden.
No matter if you are looking for a great night out or if you want to liven and freshen your home or office with plants, look no further than The Plant Niche. Erika will help you to select the best plants for your environment and maintain them for your ease.
