This past Saturday, Brandon was abuzz with green-thumb enthusiasts at the much-anticipated Succulent Terracotta Planter Workshop. Held at 3pm, the event drew a diverse crowd eager to get their hands dirty and create stunning plant displays.
Participants had the opportunity to pot one larger succulent and arrange six to eight smaller succulents or cacti. The array of decorative elements, including pebbles, quartz crystals, shells, and driftwood, allowed attendees to add personalised touches to their planters. The workshop’s host had thoughtfully selected a variety of fabulous succulents, ensuring everyone had access to the best plants for their creations.
The atmosphere was filled with excitement and camaraderie as attendees shared tips, ideas, and stories. The hands-on experience was both educational and fun, with many participants learning new techniques for succulent care and arrangement. By the end of the session, everyone left with beautiful, custom-made planters to display in their homes.
The workshop not only provided a creative outlet but also fostered a sense of community among local plant lovers. As the event concluded, smiles and laughter filled the air, and many expressed their eagerness for future workshops.
For those who missed out, stay tuned for upcoming events, as the Little Leaves Nursery’s Succulent Terracotta Planter Workshop promises to return with more opportunities to get creative and connect with fellow plant enthusiasts including a regular monthly high tea as well as regular adult and children’s workshops alike.
