“Looking to share some time together, mum and I chose to connect with nature and join Hannah and Lani’s plant workshop. Hannah and Lani’s love and respect for our Earth really shone through as they shared their years of knowledge on how to grow and care for our plants. Inspired, and appreciative for remembering that we can all connect with our creative side, Mum and I came away completely chuffed with our living bowls. Thank you “
