Family Seasonal Planter Workshop -2

Explore your creativity using a mix of foliage from Darts Hill Garden to create your own unique seasonal planter. You'll use fresh greens cut from the garden and work in our outdoor Maple Activity Center. Participants must bring secateurs or sharp scissors and a pair of gloves. Bring a cool planter or use one of our black plant pots. Please dress warmly and in layers. Space limited to 10 per session, families welcome. Sign up one person for each planter you wish to complete; i.e., if a parent is helping a child or children make a single planter, just sign up one person.

Equipment each participant should bring:

1. secateurs (garden shears)
2. gardening gloves

We will have a selection of cut branches available from Darts Hill Garden, some with berries and cones. If you have some specific foliage in mind, bring it along as our supply and collection is limited. Variegated evergreen plant material, such as variegated Daphne, Osmanthus and holly are good choices to make your planter stand out. Avoid cotoneaster as the red berries drop quickly and stain surfaces.

Location

The workshop will take place outside in the Maple Activity Center; please park in the small parking lot located at 1680 168th Avenue.
