Wondering how you can enjoy unique experiences downtown? We are here to show you some of the experience based businesses located in our award winning downtown.

Our first stop is The Burning Ivy - a plant bar at 208 Grand Ave. Opened by Cecil and Paige in 2023 the bright and cheery plant bar offers a wide variety of succulents, cacti, houseplants, and all the materials you need to craft your perfect terrarium. Plants not your thing? They also offer rope wreath making and skull decorating.

We stopped by to try our hand at planting some cheery succulents for our office! Cecil greeted us and explained the ins and outs of selecting pots, plants, and how to construct our planters. There are so many choices it took us a while to decide which plant babies we wanted - not to mention the cute accessories like bridges, mushrooms, dinos, cowboy hats, bunnies and more that could adorn our creations.

They have all the tools you need including dirt, rocks, moss and adorable mini shovels to plant your creations. And when you are done, they make sure you can keep your plant alive with a care card. Hailing from Florida, Cecil and Paige have learned that although it’s a Florida-like oasis inside their store, the harsh Wyoming weather is not for the plants. Cecil carefully wrapped our creations in bags and boxes to protect them from the weather.

So the next time you need a little sunshine in your day stop by The Burning Ivy for a fun time with friends and family creating magical planters.
