William
William helps plan each arrangement, balance the design, inspect the finished work, and prepare the story behind each piece.
Rescued plants. Reused pots. Young entrepreneurs.
We’re William and Winston. We turn rescued succulent cuttings, donated pots, and cleaned reusable liners into one-of-a-kind living art.
Our story
Aunt Monica buys orchids for her dental office. When the displays change, useful pots and planting pieces can be left behind. We asked her to save them.
At home, overgrown succulents need trimming. Neighbors may have cuttings they no longer need. Cleaned plastic drink cups can become inner liners instead of going straight to the trash. We bring those pieces together, add patience and imagination, and make something beautiful.
“The best material isn’t always new. Sometimes it’s simply waiting for a new idea.”
WillWin ReBloom is an independent student project. 7 Leaves is not a sponsor or partner; its used cups are independently repurposed.
Meet the makers
William and Winston share the work—from collecting and cleaning materials to planting, designing, pricing, and speaking with customers.
William helps plan each arrangement, balance the design, inspect the finished work, and prepare the story behind each piece.
Winston finds healthy overgrown plants, asks for donated cuttings, prepares containers, and saves his earnings toward his own PC.
The collection
Each arrangement depends on the healthy cuttings and containers available that week. These are examples of our work; current pieces will be available in person at Art Alley.
Cool blue rosettes, striped haworthia, and warm autumn color in a reclaimed white planter.
A playful mix of sculptural greens and golden sedum made for a cozy corner.
Soft green rosettes paired with bright dried blooms and natural texture.
One strong shape, carefully reset in a clean container to keep growing.
Final plants, colors, containers, and availability will vary. See the real pieces—and their posted prices—at our Art Alley table.
From garden to art
This isn’t just planting. It’s material sourcing, sanitation, design, cost control, teamwork, and customer care.
Ask permission and gather healthy cuttings and reusable containers.
Reject damaged, diseased, or unsafe materials.
Wash and sanitize every reused pot and liner.
Create proper drainage—with an adult handling or supervising tools.
Add suitable soil and place each cutting with room to grow.
Balance color, height, texture, and negative space.
Clean the finished piece and inspect its stability and health.
Photograph it, price it honestly, and explain its story.
Behind the scenes
Every pot becomes practice in gardening, design, teamwork, and running a real small business.
More than a craft
We’re learning what happens between an idea and a customer: finding materials, building safely, designing a product, calculating profit, creating a website, and speaking clearly about our work.
Reuse what is still valuable and dispose of unusable material responsibly.
Make every arrangement healthy, stable, attractive, and different.
Track every cost. Revenue is not profit; profit is what remains after expenses.
Ask for donations respectfully, serve customers, and work as a team.

The $500 prize belongs to the event’s art competition. WillWin ReBloom’s participation in that competition has not been confirmed.
Take-home care
Succulents prefer a little thoughtful care over constant attention.
Give it plenty of bright light; introduce strong direct sun gradually.
Wait until the soil is dry, then water thoroughly and let it drain.
Empty extra water from the outer pot. Roots should not stay wet.
Needs vary by plant, season, light, and temperature.
The business goal
William and Winston plan to split the net profit. Winston will combine his share with his dog-walking earnings to save toward his own PC.
