Today’s Table
Some mornings the studio is quietly full — a bucket of just-conditioned ranunculus, a kenzan holding something I couldn't stop adjusting. This is where those pieces live. Everything here was made or gathered today and is ready to go home now. No two are ever quite the same, and once a piece is claimed, it's gone.
The table changes with the season, based on the flowers that grabbed me and whatever the garden is offering. Check back often.
Fall & Today’s Table
Fall Ember is a planted arrangement of croton and sweetheart philodendron in a black Meta Boat ceramic pot, designed by hand in Apex, NC.
Croton leaves stand upright in deep burgundy, rust, and gold, the colors of the season, each leaf veined and speckled a little differently. Sweetheart philodendron trails over the rim in soft green hearts to balance the height. A dried botanical pod and a layer of white river stones finish the design. Unlike cut stems, it keeps going long after the leaves outside have dropped.
Includes the Meta Boat ceramic pot, both plants, the dried pod, and the stone top dressing. The pot measures 8.75 x 3.75 x 4 inches.
Available for pickup at the studio in Apex, or local delivery across the Triangle for a 15 dollar fee.
Care: The pot has no drainage hole, so water lightly and only when the top inch of soil feels dry. Pour slowly around the base of the plants rather than over the stones, and stop before water pools. Place in bright, indirect light. Croton needs the most light of the two, and its color fades in dim rooms. Keep it away from cold drafts, heating vents, and temperatures below 60 degrees. A croton may drop a few leaves after it moves to a new home; this is normal and it settles in within a few weeks. Sweetheart philodendron is easygoing and will trail longer over time. Trim the vines back if you want a fuller shape. Wipe dust from the leaves now and then so they stay glossy.
Does the pot have a drainage hole? No. Water sparingly so excess water does not collect at the bottom.
How much light does it need? Bright, indirect light. Croton keeps its strongest color near a window without harsh afternoon sun.
Is it safe for pets? Both croton and philodendron are toxic to cats and dogs if chewed, so place it out of reach.
Can I pick this up? Yes. Pickup is available at the studio in Apex, or choose delivery across the Triangle for $15.
Where botanicals become art.
This centerpiece pairs the bold, streaked color of croton with soft, ferny greenery, all planted together in a white ribbed pot with a clean, vertical texture. A dried lotus pod, with its distinct honeycomb cross-section, is tucked in on a pick for contrast, a quiet nod to something gathered rather than grown. The combination of warm foliage color, soft texture, and one dried element gives the piece movement and depth without feeling busy.
Each one is hand-planted to order here in Apex, so the exact mix of leaf color and placement will vary slightly from the photos. That's part of what makes it feel gathered rather than manufactured.

Delivery Local delivery is $15 flat rate throughout Apex, Cary, Raleigh, Durham, Holly Springs, and Fuquay-Varina. Orders placed by [cutoff time] ship or deliver the same week.
Care Instructions
Light: Bright, indirect light. Croton needs strong light to hold its color; too little light will cause new growth to come in more green and less vivid.
Water: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, typically every 5 to 7 days. Ferns prefer consistent moisture more than croton does, so check the soil before watering rather than working on a fixed schedule.
Humidity: Ferns in particular appreciate higher humidity. A light mist a few times a week helps keep the fronds from crisping at the edges.
Drainage: If this pot doesn't have a drainage hole, water lightly and check for pooling at the base after watering. Confirm drainage before publishing this detail live.
The dried pod: Purely decorative and shelf-stable. No care needed, and it can be removed if you'd rather keep the arrangement all-live.
finely divided fronds arch gracefully from this Rabbit's Foot Fern, but its real signature is underneath: soft, furry rhizomes creep along the soil surface and over the rim of the pot, resembling little rabbit's feet, which is exactly where the name comes from. Native to Fiji, it's a relaxed, slow-to-moderate grower with an airy, delicate look that's a bit more textural than a typical houseplant fern. Potted here in a whimsical owl-print ceramic tea cup.
Davallia fejeensis prefers bright, indirect light and steady, moderate moisture.
The Details
Botanical name: Davallia fejeensis
Common name: Rabbit's Foot Fern
Light: bright indirect light, avoid harsh direct sun
Water: keep soil lightly moist, let the top layer dry slightly between waterings, avoid burying the furry surface rhizomes
Humidity: appreciates higher humidity but adapts well indoors
Growth habit: slow to moderate grower, spreads by its signature furry rhizomes
Vessel: owl-print ceramic tea cup
Care level: low to moderate maintenance
Local pickup in Apex, NC, or delivered across the Triangle for a flat $15.
This centerpiece pairs the bold, streaked color of croton with the trailing, glossy heart leaves planted together in a cream ribbed pot with a clean, vertical texture and a black pebble top dressing. A dried lotus pod, with its distinct honeycomb cross section, rests on a pick among the greenery, a quiet, sculptural note against the warm foliage color. It's a small piece with a lot going on: color, texture, and a bit of movement from the trailing hoya.
Each one is hand planted to order here in Apex, so the exact mix of leaf color, hoya trail, and pod placement will vary slightly from the photos. That's part of what makes it feel gathered rather than manufactured.

Delivery Local delivery is $15 flat rate throughout Apex, Cary, Raleigh, Durham, Holly Springs, and Fuquay-Varina.
Care Instructions
Light: Bright, indirect light. Croton needs strong light to hold its color blooms best with plenty of bright light as well, so a spot near a sunny window suits this piece well.
Water: Water when the top inch or two of soil feels dry, typically every 7 to 10 days. Hoya stores water in its leaves and would rather dry out between waterings than sit in soggy soil, so it's fine to lean toward underwatering.
Humidity: Average household humidity works for both plants. A light mist now and then doesn't hurt, but isn't required.
Drainage: This pot does not have drainage. Water ½ cup of water when soil is dry.
The dried pod: Purely decorative and shelf stable. No care needed, and it can be removed if you'd rather keep the arrangement all live.

This centerpiece pairs syngonium, prized for its blush pink and cream marbled leaves, with softer fern foliage, planted together in a pink textured pot that picks up the same warm tone. A small dried pod on a pick adds a bit of contrast, its rust color grounding the arrangement against the pink and green. The result is soft and a little playful, at home on a nightstand, a bathroom vanity, or a shelf that could use a touch of color.
Each one is hand-planted to order here in Apex, so the exact mix of leaf color, fern fullness, and pod placement will vary slightly from the photos. That's part of what makes it feel gathered rather than manufactured.

Delivery Local delivery is $15 flat rate throughout Apex, Cary, Raleigh, Durham, Holly Springs, and Fuquay-Varina.
Care Instructions
Light: Bright, indirect light. Syngonium holds its pink coloring best in good light; too little light will cause new growth to come in greener and less vivid.
Water: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, typically every 5 to 7 days. Ferns prefer more consistent moisture than syngonium does, so check the soil before watering rather than working on a fixed schedule.
Humidity: Both syngonium and fern appreciate higher humidity. A light mist a few times a week helps keep the leaves and fronds from crisping at the edges.
Drainage: If this pot doesn't have a drainage hole, water lightly.
The dried pod: Purely decorative and shelf-stable. No care needed, and it can be removed if you'd rather keep the arrangement all-live.
Long, arching fronds set with rows of small, round, bright green leaflets give the Lemon Button Fern its cheerful, full look, and give it its name too: brush against the foliage and it releases a faint, natural lemon scent. It's a fast, robust grower that fills in its pot quickly, bringing easy, textural life to a shelf, console, or sunny corner. Potted here in a rustic reclaimed wood planter with natural rattan and dried botanical accents.
Nephrolepis cordifolia thrives in medium sunlight. Keep the soil lightly moist and let the top inch dry out between waterings.
The Details

Common name: Lemon Button Fern
Light: medium sunlight
Growth habit: fast, robust grower, fills its pot quickly
Scent: faint lemon fragrance when foliage is touched
Vessel: rustic reclaimed wood planter with natural rattan and dried botanical accents
Care level: low maintenance

This centerpiece brings together a mix of ferns in soft, varied textures, planted into a footed cream pedestal urn and tucked in with sheet moss for a finished, gathered look. A dried lotus pod, with its distinct honeycomb cross-section, rests among the greenery on a pick, a still, sculptural counterpoint to the fern's movement. The pedestal base gives it a bit of lift, so it reads as more of a small sculpture than a simple potted plant.
Each one is hand-planted to order here in Apex, so the exact mix of fern varieties, moss coverage, and pod placement will vary slightly from the photos. That's part of what makes it feel gathered rather than manufactured.

Delivery Local delivery is $15 flat rate throughout Apex, Cary, Raleigh, Durham, Holly Springs, and Fuquay-Varina.
Care Instructions
Light: Bright, indirect light. Ferns can scorch in direct sun, so keep this piece a few feet back from a bright window.
Water: Ferns prefer consistently moist soil, more so than most houseplants. Check every 3 to 4 days and water when the top of the soil feels dry to the touch.
Humidity: Ferns do best with above-average humidity. A light daily mist helps prevent crisping at the frond tips, especially in drier months.
Drainage: If this urn doesn't have a drainage hole, water lightly and check for pooling at the base after watering.
The dried pod: Purely decorative and shelf-stable. No care needed, and it can be removed if you'd rather keep the arrangement all-live.

Sometimes one leaf is enough. This piece pairs a single, mature monstera leaf, prized for its deep lobing and natural fenestration, with a few curling willow branches that trail up and out of the vase's clean, fluted white silhouette. The result is quiet and architectural rather than full, a piece that reads more like a small sculpture than a traditional arrangement.
Each one is styled individually, so the exact leaf shape, size, and the curl of the willow branches will vary slightly from the photos. That's part of what makes it feel gathered rather than manufactured.
Details
One Extra large monstera leaf, hand-selected
Curly willow branches
White ribbed cylinder vase, 5"D x 12"H
Displayed as a sculptural cut arrangement. Not a rooted, soil-planted piece
Every piece is one of a kind; leaf shape, size, and willow placement will vary from the photos
Delivery Local delivery is $15 flat rate throughout Apex, Cary, Raleigh, Durham, Holly Springs, and Fuquay-Varina.
Care Instructions
Water: Kept as a fresh cut arrangement. Refresh the water every 4 to 5 days.
Light: Bright, indirect light. Direct sun can scorch the leaf over time.
Placement: Keep away from heating and cooling vents, which will dry out the leaf and willow branches faster.
Longevity: As a cut arrangement, expect the display to hold for several weeks with fresh water. The curly willow branches are dried and shelf-stable, so they'll outlast the leaf and can be kept on for a future refresh.
The Ceramic Planter with Saucer is a small handmade pot with a matching saucer, offered in 3.25, 4.25, and 5 inch sizes and chosen by the studio in Apex, NC.
Each piece is shaped by hand, so the glaze and form vary slightly from pot to pot. The scale suits succulents, small ferns, and young houseplants on a windowsill, desk, or shelf.
Group the two sizes together for a stepped arrangement, or use one on its own as a quiet accent. Includes the planter and its saucer. Plants and soil are not included.
