1. An apparatus configured to house botanicals during transport and to convert to a display assembly for displaying the botanicals, the apparatus comprising:
a covering component formed from a first flat piece of packaging material that is shaped into a longitudinal shape having a primary opening at a first end of the longitudinal shape, wherein the primary opening is of an internal cavity formed within the longitudinal shape, wherein longitudinal shape of the covering component includes a permeable structure formed at a second end of the longitudinal shape that is opposite the first end;
a sleeve component formed from a second flat piece of packaging material that is shaped into a longitudinal shape having a providing opening at one end and a receiving opening at the other end opposite the providing opening, wherein the second flat piece of packaging material is separate and distinct from the first flat piece of packaging material, wherein the providing opening and the receiving opening communicate an internal cavity formed within the longitudinal shape of the sleeve component, wherein the longitudinal shape of the sleeve component is sized to slide inside the primary opening of the covering component, such that the sleeve component is housed partially within the internal cavity of the covering component with the providing opening of the sleeve component being disposed inside the internal cavity of the covering component, and the end of the sleeve component with the receiving opening extending out of the primary opening of the covering component;
a holding component formed from a third flat piece of packaging material, the third flat piece of packaging material being water resistant, wherein the third flat piece of packaging material is separate and distinct from the first flat piece of packaging material and the second flat piece of packaging material, wherein the holding component is shaped to form a chamber having a secondary opening at one end and a chamber wall at the other end opposite the secondary opening, wherein the longitudinal shape of the holding component is sized to slide inside the receiving opening of the sleeve component so that the holding component is housed partially within the receiving opening with the secondary opening of the holding component being disposed inside the internal cavity of the sleeve component; and
wherein, in order to facilitate the apparatus being converted into the display assembly, the sleeve component is removable from the primary opening of the covering component to facilitate access to the holding component, the holding component is configured to be inserted into the internal cavity of the covering component via the primary opening, such that the chamber wall of the holding component is positioned within the internal cavity at or near the end of the covering component having the permeable structure.
