March is my birthday month, and my fiancé planned a surprise weekend trip to Austin for us. We did a little shopping and a lot of eating! The main thing on my agenda was to find a nursery to get some succulents for a terrarium project I’ve been wanting to do. I love the vitality that plants bring to a room. With a quick google search, we found East Austin Succulents and Tillery Street Plant Company. These side-by-side awesome little gems are nestled in a quaint neighborhood. They had an amazing plant selection and the staff was friendly and helpful. (I asked for some tips about watering because I tend to over water.) I found everything I needed for my project. I didn’t really know what I was doing, so I just kind of winged it. It was fun to get my hands dirty! I am super happy with how it turned out. I hope I can keep the plants healthy and happy! If any of you have a green thumb, I’d love some tips!

Succulents for days.

I made a new kitty friend!

These were our final selections.

My glass bowl plus some potting mix.

Pro tip: Don’t spill it all over the floor like I did.

I added the plants, some gray rocks, and a crystal for good vibes.
