I am very excited to announce that The Plant Provocateur will be holding 2 Holiday Wreath Workshops.  I've split the experience into smaller, more intimate workshop sessions.  Limit is 4 people per session.  So here's the deal...I will be teaching you how to create a holiday wreath that is beyond ordinary; that is something more extraordinary using unique plant material that is not your everyday pine branch or dried twig.  I want to open your eyes up to a world of creative possibilities that go outside of the usual holiday box. 

The workshop is $150 per person.  This includes instruction, wreath materials, and premium plant materials (which are the bulk of the workshop fee cost.  You'll be using the GOOD stuff!)  Each participant will leave with their very own extraordinary wreath.  Participants get to choose between making a table wreath centerpiece wreath or a hanging wreath.  I will share my secrets about which materials I have found make for a longer lasting wreath, as well as which materials dry beautifully. 

The workshops will be held on Sunday, Dec. 4th and Sunday, Dec. 11th from 11am-2pm.  No previous experience is needed.  The workshop will take place at The Plant Provocateur Shop on the patio.  Please note this is a hands-on workshop, if you have garden shears and/or gloves, feel free to bring them.  Additional materials will be provided.  Again, each session is limited to 4 people.  Reservation purchase is required to attend.  Tickets are available through the 'SHOP' menu of this website or via the following link: WORKSHOP RESERVATIONS.  The Plant Provocateur is located at 3318 W.

I'm super excited to offer the very rare 'It' plant of home decor...Pilea peperomioides or Chinese Money Plant.  I've been seeing this plant featured in shoots for Vogue Magazine and Architectural Digest.  This plant is HOT!!! TPP has them planted in a rustic vessel for a limited time. $36.95 each.  Peperomia verticillata has a fresh, verdant vibe with its vein-patterned leaves on wandering stems.  Oh, what about Peperomia sandersii with its whimsical watermelon rind patterned foliage.  And lastly, from this bunch is the ultra mod Triangle Fig rarely found in this affordable small size.  Both Peperomias and Triangle Fig are only $12.95.  All plants are available in store only.

It can be grown in a pot or in the ground against a vertical surface where it can climb.   Flowers can be 6 inches across and perfume the night air with an intoxicating scent.  It's especially stunning when experienced under the light of the moon.  Seriously!  To show some customer appreciation these starts will be offered for $1 while supplies last.
