One Monay night, I took a drive out to a more beautiful and open area of Richmond. As the sun set, I pulled into an expansive nursery and flower garden called Boulevard Flower Garden to spend a couple of hours with Richmond’s finest ladies and gentlemen. For what? Terrariums, wine and food. That’s what.
Plant Nite is much like the well-known paint-night concept, but instead of taking home a paint-by-numbers painting, I took home a living terrarium I could design myself.
The tables were set with a variety of containers including glass bowls and chalkboard boxes. We were each able to chose our own. A colorful sea of pebbles, moss, and tiny dinosaurs were laid out next to rows and rows of a variety of succulents. I grabbed a glass of wine and the other guests grabbed food from The Boulevard Flower Garden cafe. I couldn’t wait to settle in and get dirty!
We were walked through step-by-step how to set up a terrarium that would stand the test of time. Other than that, we were able to spread our creative wings. Each guest placed their succulents differently, sprinkled pebbles in a variety of shapes, and used the tiny dinosaurs in downright hilarious ways.
After spending 1.5 hours creating a one-of-a-kind planter, we all had fabulous succulent gardens. I can only imagine what everyone did with theirs. Mine is sitting in my kitchen window. We were told to spray it once a week with water and let it be. So easy!
