| Here at the Statesboro Lowe's, the Garden Center is full of people trying to fill their gardens and windowsills with new plants. Plant mom, Gabi Wiggill, is here looking to expand her collection of plant babies. |
 |
| Wiggill is on the hunt for some succulents, as they are very easy to care for. She lives in a dorm on campus, so she doesn't have space to actually have her own garden. |
 |
| Wiggill is examining the succulents to see which one she connects with more. One day, she would like to have a room covered wall-to-wall in plants. |
 |
| Wiggill is looking at some of the larger succulents. She feels like if the succulent is large, it will serve as a center piece for her living room. |
 |
| Wiggill stumbles upon a succulent garden. She is strongly considering getting it, because it would give her multiple plants for a reasonable price. |
 |
| Wiggill briefly decides that she is going to get the succulent garden, but says she will keep looking just in case. |
 |
| Wiggill stops to feel the moss plants. She is overjoyed at how soft they are. |
 |
Wiggill finds a bee in a flower on her way to find an employee. She loves all things nature. |
 |
| Wiggill gets closer to admire the bee. She points out that it is a carpenter bee, which does not sting. |
 |
| Wiggill decides to talk to an employee to get more insight on what plants would best suit her. She is very intentional about finding indoor plants. |
 |
| Since the employee informed Wiggill that the indoor plants were mostly in the greenhouse, she heads inside to continue her search. She wants succulents, but she is open to other plants. |
 |
| Right at the entrance, Wiggill is distracted by more succulents. These weren't her favorite, but they laid on a bed of a pink stringy material, which was very intriguing to her. |
 |
| Wiggill spots the orchids and is immediately drawn to them. She looks and the facts and the prices to see if this will be her pick. |
 |
| Wiggill has found her new plant baby. She takes a moment to give it a name, but can't decide. |
 |
| Wiggill takes not of the instructions for care for the orchid. She knows that orchids die very quickly, because they're meant to grow in trees, but she wants to keep it live for as long as she can. |
 |
| Wiggill selects indoor plant food for her orchid. She already has plant food, but she want to make sure that she is fully prepared to take care of her new plant baby. |
 |
| Wiggill's last step before checkout is to find a pot for her plant. She wants something that's gray, so it can match her bedroom decor. |
 |
| Wiggill decides on a pot for her plant. She goes with blue, because it will be a nice pop of color. |
 |
| Wiggill goes to checkout to make the plant baby purchase official. She was able to get one of her favorite plants at a reasonable price. |
 |
| Wiggill straps her new plant baby, Petunia, into the back seat. Now, she's on her way home to dress up her windowsill. |
