Fresh Air

The Palm Room’s Air Boxes

Dear repentant lover, concerned friend, last-minute gifter, et al:

Hate to be a thorn in your side, but those lackluster rose bouquets just aren’t cutting it anymore. And baby’s breath? Don’t get me started. How about something a little less ephemeral, a little more creative?

Brandon Peterson’s air boxes are just the (green) ticket. Using his zany “little of this, little of that” technique, the garden designer crafts one-of-a-kind works from of-the-moment stock like sticks, stones, moss, and luscious air plants (no soil required). The arrangements are wired onto bonsai dishes or handmade wooden vessels and can be mounted on the wall or placed prominently on a table.

The result? Stunning treasures that’ll surely make us want to plant one on you.

Thanks in advance,

Your grateful recipient
