MAKER NIGHT:
Creating Cacti and Succulent Planters
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll make your very own mixed planter using cacti and succulents, and you’ll also learn how to care for them so they flourish even as we head into the cold months. This workshop is led by the Conservatory Horticulturist, Jayton Howard, who is responsible for caring for the Garden’s beautiful collection of cacti and succulents in the Conservatory, so you’ll get to learn about these plants from a true expert and leave feeling like an expert yourself. Jayton will also lead the class on an exclusive guided tour of the Garden’s cacti and succulent collection with plenty of opportunities to ask him questions.
As a rare treat, this class will be held in the North Wing of the Conservatory (which is usually unavailable for classes due to Butterflies LIVE! and GardenFest exhibits). Snacks (including offerings like fruit and cheese bowls, charcuterie boxes, humus bowls, chicken salad with crackers, cookies and other sweet treats plus beverages including wine, beer and water) will be available for purchase during the first hour of the class (card only). By the end of the evening, you’ll be able to take your custom planter with you and keep the summer vibes alive in your home no matter how cold it gets this winter.
All programs are subject to change.
