Designers ad selfie professionals have been using Ficus lyrata for years to activate and jeuge their “jungalow” interiors but it has certainly dominated 2018, as you’ll see if you pick up any architecture or design magazine.

Palmer’s Garden and Goods is located at 2611 Corrine Drive [GMap] in Audubon Park.
