Order Items Terrariums Dish Gardens Hypertufa Troughs Living Wreaths Topiary Kathy designs one-of-a-kind items to enhance the interior and exterior of your home. She
also sells her creations at area arts and crafts fairs. Terrariums provide
an easy way to give humidity-loving plants the conditions they need to thrive ~ conditions that are difficult to maintain
in the typical home or office. Because of its self-contained environment, a terrarium needs only infrequent watering and minimal
care to enjoy a bit of indoor tropics all year long. Dish Gardens feature
succulent plants that are not hardy outdoors in winter. Succulents come in a fascinating variety of shapes and textures, making
them ideal for miniature landscapes. Living Wreaths offer the design flexibility
of a wreath combined with live plant material. Easy-care succulents are planted in a wreath form that can be hung on a wall
or brought to the table as a centerpiece. Hypertufa Troughs ~ Hypertufa
is made using cement, peat moss and perlite. Containers made with this material drain quickly, can be left outdoors year round
and are light enough to be moved around fairly easily. Kathy plants her troughs with hardy cacti, succulents and a variety
of plants that enjoy dry and gravelly conditions. Troughs can be designed for placement in sun or shade.
