This twice-sold-out workshop invites participants to explore the charm of early American gardens while creating their very own living indoor planters. Spots are available for the Thursday, March 12th workshop, which takes place from 7-8:30pm.

Ticket price includes a planter container, soil, flowers and all plants. “This workshop is perfect for anyone looking to bring a bit of early American charm into their home while learning practical skills for indoor gardening” commented Kelley, a local gardening specialist.
