First home game of the season and we showed up 🌿🏈
•
Lemon lime prayer plant. Mini African violets. Two copperhead cactus in vintage crystal salt and pepper dishes because pairing the right vessel to the right plant is its own art form.
•
What’s pictured is just a taste. It was a good week. 💚
•
Fall is here. The shop is glowing pink. ASU is back. Mill Avenue has a pulse again.
•
Find us at 518 S Mill Ave, Downtown Tempe, proof that lush can exist in the desert 🌿

FIND THE PIG 🐷
•
BYOG: Bring your own glass (because it’s sustainable)
•
Our terrarium bar is self led and that’s the whole vibe. Walk up, go at your own pace, make your own choices 🪴 We’re here if you have questions but we believe in you more than you believe in yourself.
•
Every build starts at $15 and includes substrate, a plant, one hardscape item, and one fluorite animal 🌱
•
Bring your own glass or grab one of ours starting at $5. Want to add more fluorite animals, live Isopods, colored sand, or premium Leca? Those are available too, with add ons starting at $3 🐇
•
One of these has a succulent in it. We saw it. We said nothing. It’s your terrarium 😌
•
The last three pics are pre-built and available for SALE

Walk it like it’s hot… or run 🌿🔥
•
BYOG Terrarium Bar is 6 months old today and it starts at $15… as ALWAYS.
•
Bring your own glass. We’ll supply the rest. Substrate, a plant, and one hardscape item included. Add a fluorite bunny or duck for under $5 because why wouldn’t you. Upgrade to premium Leca, colored sand, or live Isopods if you’re feeling under fancy.
•
Upcycle your old vases. Raid your grandma’s china cabinet. Show up with a fishbowl. We don’t judge. We just plant things in it.
•
$15. Your glass. Our plants. Endless excuses to come in •

Someone said Mill Avenue is dead. Cute theory. Wrong though.

All family owned. All still here. This is just one block.
•
Starbucks left post-pandemic ☕ Corporations are bailing 🏢 Rent’s too high and the street’s not shoppable when landlords treat it like a spreadsheet instead of a community 💸
•
P.S We can’t wait for 🍦
•
But small businesses? We’re still fighting 💪 For lower rent. For walkability. For the Mill Avenue that actually matters. The one locals built 🏗️
•
One vacant space at the end. Perfect spot for someone who gets it ✨
•
Comment section can stay mad. We’re making this street fun again 🎉

Saturdays are for slowing down.
•
No rushing. No fighting for parking at overcrowded markets. Just people moving through the shop at their own pace, actually looking at things, taking their time.
•
This is what shopping local should feel like. Intentional. Calm. Human-scale.
•
Come spend your Saturday here instead of somewhere that makes you anxious.
