gARTening Series: Gourd-geous:Creating a Pumpkin-Shaped Hypertufa Planters

Love the look of stone, but not the weight and expense? With a little time and a few supplies, you can make your own planters from hypertufa. Hypertufa is a mix of water, Portland cement, peat moss or coconut fiber, and either sand, perlite, or vermiculite. Planters made from hypertufa are porous and drain well, so they make a perfect home for succulents and rock garden plants. Join us in our garden to learn how to create a hypertufa and care for succulents!

Design a hypertufa for yourself or make one for someone as a gift.
