Plant Play: Make and Take Workshops
It’s time to get your hands dirty and play with plants! Using live plants provided by the Garden, our instructors will help you make your own plant creations to take home. Focusing on topics like living succulent wreaths, terrariums and more, each workshop provides information on how to provide ongoing care and maintenance to your plant creation. Part creative arts, part horticulture and botany, the setting of these workshops is relaxed and social. You’ll have fun and learn something new about plants!
Classes are offered in-person, as synchronous (live) online programs, or using hybrid methods with both in-person and virtual content. Class delivery methods are denoted next to each listing as VIRTUAL, IN-PERSON, or HYBRID.
