Gardensia's long-time friend and partner, Handri, has gone into the pot carving business. He's teaming up with a master carver and his sons to produce exceptionally well-crafted stone pots for Gardensia. We've captured the pot carving process in photos so you can see the making of the gorgeous pots you find at
Gardensia.
