Each box arrives with a different selection of three different microgreens or microgreen mixes.

HOLISTIC THERAPIST 2022
Flowers are a sure-fire way to lift your mood, but they often need care and attention. Shida offer preserved flowers that come in striking arrangements and soothing colourways that are perfect for waiting areas or practice rooms alike. The flowers feel soft and natural, rather than being dried and brittle, giving the same enchanting appearance as fresh cut flowers and floral bouquets. A special environmentally friendly preservation treatment replaces the sap with 100% plant-based glycerine and dyes. The cell structure of the plants is maintained, leaving them feeling soft, naturally beautiful, and able to last all year with little maintenance needed. The range includes bouquets, wreath kits, and ikebana kits, all featuring unusual flowers. Prices range from £25 to £66 including a www.shida.florist. bespoke bouquet at £55. Find out more at
