Botanica opened a seasonal pop-up shop at Bradley Fair, 1900 N. Rock Road, Suite 136, on Thursday, Oct. 22, filling the former Eddie Bauer storefront with plants, workshops and children's crafts.
The shop, called Glow & Grow, will run through Dec. 31 in the space between J. Jill and White House Black Market, according to the Wichita Eagle. It features a plant bar where visitors can browse greenery, hands-on workshops including floral installations, kids' activities and take-home crafts.
Offerings will change week to week. A workshop schedule is available at botanica.org.
Botanica executive director Lynette Zimmerman said in a press release that the shop invites people to "stroll in, try something new, shop, and discover how much fun connecting with nature can be."
Bradley Fair general manager Jessica Branning and Botanica president Mark Douglass both praised the partnership in the same release. Branning called Botanica "one of the most loved institutions in Wichita," and Douglass said the collaboration aims to create new community connections.
An open house had been scheduled for Oct. 19 ahead of the shop's formal opening.
The pop-up is open 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays and noon to 6 p.m. Sundays. Cost is $20 per person, per workshop, from 6–8 p.m.
