Free Nature has been quiet lately.....because I've been sowing seeds!!!!
Did someone say Decatur needed a plant shop? 👀 How about a plant lounge? 🪴 💚 Stay in touch with the Free Nature page to track the progress of the shop!

Goodmorning!
For all of my gardeners, what's something new or challenging you decided to grow this year?

I ordered "White Benary Giant Zinnia" seeds last year to plant in a space near a client's fence this year and they sent me the wrong seed!!! 🫠 But I think they're beautiful! Lol 🌼 What do you think?

What if your next plant wasn’t the only thing you took home from this event?

Introducing Plant & Sip - a summer series with Free Nature, hosted with Decatur Brew Works.🪴✨

On June 30th, build your own desktop garden with Shiann Currie of Free Nature. Shiann is part educator, part artist, and part plant magician. Through Free Nature, she has built a business centered around helping people connect with nature, creativity, and one another, making plants feel approachable for everyone from seasoned plant lovers to complete beginners.

More than a plant workshop, it’s a chance to connect, make friends, support local businesses, and enjoy a welcoming community space.

The evening takes place at Decatur Brew Works during Hi-Fi Low-Tech Night, where vinyl records set the tone for a relaxed evening of conversation, creativity, and connection. If you’ve spent time at Brew Works before, you know that Bob the Brewer has created something special - a welcoming, come-as-you-are space where people genuinely enjoy gathering.

Your ticket includes:
🌱A custom desktop garden experience
🌱Multiple beginner-friendly plants
🌱Interactive soil bar access
🌱Decorative materials and accents
🌱Guided instruction from Free Nature
🌱One complimentary beverage of your choice(non-alcoholic beverages available)

Come create something beautiful, meet good people, and spend a summer evening surrounded by nature and community.

Registration is now open! Go the link in the bio or Facebook event page to learn more.
