Tony Reaves is the Tucson artist behind Plant Casitas, which are house-shaped indoor planters made with a 3D printer.
Gloria Knott Tony Reaves was working at a school when they asked if he could fix their 10-year-old 3D printer.Little did he know that less than two years later he’d have three 3D printers of his own, creating custom casita-shaped planters from his dining room table.Although he didn’t win the contest, a trip to pop culture-themed shop Plantney inspired him to create an Instagram for his indoor plant casitas.

The Tucson Botanical Gardens, 2150 N. Alvernon Way, also reached out to Reaves, asking if he’d be interested in selling his casitas in their gift shop. They asked for a wholesale price and he gave them a low number — the folks at the gift shop ended up talking him up in value.
Most of the planters he makes are colorful, inspired by colors he saw on a camping trip that reminded him of a house he passes in Barrio Viejo, clad with cacti in front.
