Feedback has been beautiful, and lots of people love this focus too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Making and selling the terrariums since April, the duo dedicates one full working day and a few afternoons to Grow Kind, making and selling approximately six to eight terrariums weekly, but they have a goal to grow their output.<\/p>\n<p>With five different sized terrarium options ranging from $90 to $270, they craft their own timber and concrete bases, and source all materials locally.<\/p>\n<p>Some Grow Kind products are on display at cafes FIKA Coffee Brewers and Johnny Alloo, at Hattie and the Wolf, and at the Queen Elizabeth Centre\u2019s Gandarra.<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of Christmas, the pair plans to launch vouchers.
