Planting an Herb Garden - Workshop

Participants will make their own planter using recycled materials, creating a unique and cozy home for their plants to grow.

Herbs are fun and easy plants that can grow in a range of spaces, and they’re a great introduction to container gardening! In this workshop, we will learn the basics of caring for herbs in small containers, planting our own, and giving a second life to bottles, cartons, and containers by using them to make and decorate our own planters.

Public: all-ages

*Limited spots
