Together, Meena and Ceci are Compañía Botánica, a brand dedicated to the design of gardens, balconies, and green walls, which has allowed them to combine their two passions—plants and design. They create settings and botanical pieces for private clients, brands, and companies, inviting everyone to put their hands on the ground and connect with nature through their work.
In this online course, they teach you techniques to create living paintings with cacti and succulents, a very versatile design element with a life of its own, since it can be adapted to any environment. Learn the entire process, from assembling the wood to contain your tableau and making the cushion that contains the plants. They also give you advice on the conservation and multiplication of succulents so that you can expand your collection and incorporate them into the decoration of your home or workplace.
