01 Our story

A studio for wonder

Flowers are
how we speak.

From a quiet greenhouse in Albany, Heather Close cultivates a curious collection of exotic plants, uncommon blooms, and the feeling of being somewhere far away.

Every kokedama and living composition begins with a conversation between color, shape, texture, and season — assembled slowly, intuitively, and with a little bit of wildness.
