Have fun creating your very own Succulent Bowl any time of year! This kit includes everything you need to create a beautiful succulent bowl, including: A large ceramic succulent bowl A variety of succulents in multiples sizes and types, grown locally and sustainably at our Tangletown Farm in Plato, MN. A bag of cactus potting mix Decorative soil toppers such as pebbles or moss *Succulent types and other potting kit elements may be different than those pictured. Succulent Care: High Light - This plant prefers direct or very bright indirect light for 8 or more hours a day. Sitting in a south or west facing window is often a good location for high light plants. Your succulent bowl would love to sit outside in the summer! These plants want as much light as you can give them. Water Infrequently - Water this plant every 2-4 weeks when the soil is completely dry. Before watering, check the soil with your finger. If you feel any remaining moisture, wait another week before watering. Almost all houseplants will use less water in the winter than in the summer, so adjust watering frequency seasonally based on how the soil feels. For best results, plant in a well draining potting mix such as a cactus and succulent blend (included in kit).

Special hardcover edition of the bestseller Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants. This edition is updated with a new introduction from Robin Wall Kimmerer, it is beautifully bound with a new cover featuring an engraving by Tony Drehfal, and it includes a bookmark ribbon, a deckled edge, and five brilliantly colored illustrations by artist Nate Christopherson. As a botanist, Robin Wall Kimmerer has been trained to ask questions of nature with the tools of science. As a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, she embraces the notion that plants and animals are our oldest teachers. In Braiding Sweetgrass , Kimmerer brings these two lenses of knowledge together to take us on “a journey that is every bit as mythic as it is scientific, as sacred as it is historical, as clever as it is wise” (Elizabeth Gilbert). Drawing on her life as an indigenous scientist, a mother, and a woman, Kimmerer shows how other living beings—asters and goldenrod, strawberries and squash, salamanders, algae, and sweetgrass—offer us gifts and lessons, even if we’ve forgotten how to hear their voices. In a rich braid of reflections that range from the creation of Turtle Island to the forces that threaten its flourishing today, she circles toward a central argument: that the awakening of a wider ecological consciousness requires the acknowledgment and celebration of our reciprocal relationship with the rest of the living world. For only when we can hear the languages of other beings will we be capable of understanding the generosity of the earth, and learn to give our own gifts in return.
