Our Boutique Space Is Converting to Offices after March 31, 2024

We're excited to announce that, to accommodate our continued growth, we are re-purposing our current retail boutique area to expand our design offices and fabrication capacity to meet our continuously increasing project load for bespoke plantscapes and biophilic design.


The last day of the retail store will be March 31, 2024. Until that time all retail inventory will be 50% off or more. Some shelving units and display furnishing will also be for sale.


After March 31, 2024, the Articulture showroom will be by appointment only. This is a bittersweet moment for Articulture. On one hand, business growth is always wonderful. But we’ve had a lot of fun with the boutique over the years and we’ll miss that energy. But we outgrew our design studio long ago and re-purposing the boutique area for increased design and fabrication capacity is simply the right thing to do for Articulture.


Come on in and take advantage of ½ off retail inventory. If you have a partially complete rewards card, bring it in! You can redeem any rewards earned even if the card is not full.


Thank you so much for your patronage over the years! We hope to keep seeing you as a client in our plant care or custom design services.
