Make Your Own Hypertufa Plant Container Workshop

Create a rugged, lightweight container with timeless character! Hypertufa is a versatile material that mimics the look of aged stone while being lighter and easier to work with than concrete. Perfect for succulents and native plants, these hand-crafted containers add a natural, artistic touch to any garden.

This hands-on workshop will guide you through the process step by step. All primary materials and some forms will be provided; you’ll just need to bring a few simple tools of your own (a supply list will be shared after registration).

Date & Time: Monday, Oct. 13, 1–3 pm
Location: Beatrix Farrand Garden – Lunch Pavilion
Instructor: Pamela Brown

Come ready to get creative (and a little messy)! Wear washable clothes, and feel free to bring snacks and beverages. This will be a relaxed, fun afternoon of garden-inspired making.

Fee: $25
