One of Wendy Du's creations for Sage ’n’ Bloom
Sage ’n’ Bloom
Adding to its already-impressive list of luxe offerings, The Houstonian Hotel, Club & Spa now boasts an in-house flower shop. Helmed by floral designer Wendy Du, Sage ’n’ Bloom specializes in extravagant arrangements for weddings and events, but also features smaller blooms for customers in search of a simple yet thoughtful gift. Du’s work can be seen throughout the hotel, so be sure to peep her blossoming bouquets while you’re there. 111 N. Post Oak Lane, sagenbloom.com
The Garden Hen
When Michael and Nicole Graham founded The Garden Hen in 2012, they hoped to teach others about raising chickens in urban areas. Fast-forward eight years, and the husband-wife duo has opened a brick-and-mortar concept comprising a poultry-themed art gallery and a retail space selling fresh eggs and custom chicken coops. 10142 Jones Road, Ste. 5B, the-garden-hen.com
