While most people might not think of this cactus as special, it has no psychoactive compounds, we love it for the fun colors and super prickly spines. This cactus is down right dangerous 💀.

This was the the first cactus added to the GlueBox botanical garden. Acquired in July of 2021, this little pot of three siblings is slow growing but rewarding to watch. We would recommend this as a great cactus for people with limited space.

This photo is a June update of some assorted SanPedro cacti 🌵 seedlings.

PRO TIP: Do one thing everyday that scares you.

These were some Tricocereus cactus seedlings purchased in the winter of 2021. To save on space, they were planted together in a community pot. Initially grown under lights, they've now been moved into their own pots and place into the greenhouse for the summer.

Trillium are one of our favorite wildflowers. They are among the first flowers you'll find in early spring.  These are fairly common but their flowers have a brief window. In New England, Trillium and Wild Violets usually bloom a few weeks before the pink lady slippers orchids. May and June are prime months for wildflowers in Vermont.
