This kitschy little boutique is located inside an old-fashioned air-stream trailer from 1968 and inside of it you'll find a wonderland of Tillandias. Tillandias, or more commonly known as 'Air Plants' can be found in all different species and sizes, and here they hang in cool, glass terrariums and planters. In addition to succulents, the shop sells local art, house wares and other objets d'art that make great gifts.
