Description

Join us for plant and garden themed learning workshops at Smith-Gilbert Gardens! Each month is a different garden related topic with a hands-on component. Ages 10 and up.


Craft Your Own Hypertufa Pot: Sculpt a Lightweight Stone Planter from Scratch - Saturday, February 20 1-3PM 

Create your own rustic planters using hypertufa—a lightweight, porous artificial stone that mimics natural rock. Join Horticulture Tech Jeanne Young for a fun, fast-paced, and beginner-friendly 2-hour workshop.

Because hypertufa (a blend of Portland cement, coco coir, and perlite or vermiculite) takes time to cure, this introductory session focuses on the hands-on mixing and molding process, guiding you through everything you need to know to finish and unmold your planter at home. 

The fee is $35 Pre-registration is required. Contact the gardens for member discounts.

Great workshop! Very informative and I’m feeling more confident in my Bonsai care. Loved that we got to pot and bring home a maple bonsai sapling from the gardens. I’ll be on the lookout for the wiring / shaping workshop this winter. Thank you to Zach and the team.

I had a fabulous time at the wreath-making workshop with Hanna, Ryan, and Given! The wreath I made turned out beautifully, and my mother-in-law (for whom it was a gift) was thrilled! The workshop was very well organized, and the handouts - with both instructions and inspiration pics - were perfect. I tucked them in with my Christmas boxes so that I will be ready for next year!

Registration was simple and the fee was a great value. There were knowledgable instructors giving easy to follow directions. The greenery provided for the wreaths was varied and plentiful. We had plenty of supplies and greenery including colorful holly berries. The instruction to use the materials and our creativity to make a beautiful wreath to take home. Thank you for this opportunity.

It was so much fun making a Christmas wreath. The variety of greenery was abundant. Hannah, Ryan and Given were so helpful and considerate. I was so engaged in making my wreath that I forgot to enjoy the tasty drink treat that was provided. The entire experience was most delightful. I greatly appreciate the opportunity and look forward to attending the event again next year, if it is offered. Thank you so much!

I would have given this workshop a 5 star review if it had been more hands on rather than just a power point presentation with side visuals. Robert was very knowledgeable and super pleasant.
I learned a lot and also found out that I knew a lot about winterizing the garden.

Such a great course! The teacher was knowledgeable and answered questions well. I was thankful to take this class and know that what I learned will be useful later.
