because i don't have the time to be and I most of my plants haven't been any luckier

stuff i would want to put around my desk but probably best suited for home

the Vertical Garden DIY Panel from Flora Grubb Gardens, Baby Toes Succulent Hanging Terrarium from Monkeys Always Look and a Succulent Tea Party via Craft zine

what I could actually get away with in a hi-end, image concious design office?

umm, maybe my boss would find the above "cute" opposed to an eye sore.  Good thing no one ever comes by my desk!
