The last minute Valentine's Day gift guide

From Crafted Identity

Create memories with your loved one this Valentine’s Day by doing something special together like attending a staghorn fern mounting workshop. Together, you’ll get to learn more about these majestic green beauties, and even mount them as art pieces for your wall. Organised by Crafted Identity, participants will get to choose from three to four different species of staghorn ferns, and they will be taught the different conditions required for both indoor and outdoor ferns. Other highlights of the workshop include wiring and grooming techniques as well as potting techniques. Participants are also entitled to 10 percent off additional plants should they decide to purchase more for practice or as gifts for loved ones. Priced at $138 per person or $248 for a two persons, the workshop will take place on 12 February from 2pm to 4pm.
