We say “thank you” to our plants by highlighting them and their intricacies all the time in these blog posts, but there are many amazing people that give those plants a beautiful voice day-to-day in our shop.

Without the many amazing artisans that both create the products we sell in store, and help keep the store itself looking its best…we wouldn’t be here.

So we thought it would be fun (and important!) to take time on the blog to highlight some of the amazing people that are usually busy working behind the scenes to make our plants the stars of the show.

Claire Daniel created the beautiful mural in our Durham storefront.

She’s a local artist that specializes in Window Design, Interior Installations, Furniture and Builds, and Paintings and Portraits.

We ADORE this picture Claire shared of her cat on Instagram (follow along with her @the.declaireation) basking in the sun amongst the hand-dyed, wooden pieces that created our awesome mural!

When you support The Zen Succulent at either our Raleigh or Durham shop, know that it has a domino effect. Your purchases help people like Claire…and Mona the cat!

If you’d like to connect with Claire for a project you’re dreaming up (we highly recommend her, of course!) you can view her portfolio and contact her at: http://declaireation.com/

Be sure to check back here over the coming months as we work to highlight more and more of the special people that your purchases support :-)
