If you’re longing for a trip, chances are your plans for travel are dashed by current COVID-19 restrictions. No worries! Osuna Nursery in Albuquerque, New Mexico, offers a wide array of houseplants, orchids, whimsical metal sculptures and more. Check out some of its cool items on display for a brief tropical escape.

Osuna Nursery offers a variety of metal art sculptures in its décor department, which range from roosters to flamingos to sunflowers and even butterflies. However, it also stocks dragons, departing from the normal fare of décor and providing some middle earth inspiration for gardeners who are fans of J. R. R. Tolkien or George R.R. Martin.
