Celebrate Mom with a gift that grows, delights, and nurtures the senses! In this special Mother’s Day workshop, you’ll design a beautiful sensory container garden filled with soothing colors, fragrant herbs, and touchable textures. Using a thoughtful blend of annuals, herbs, and/or perennials, we’ll focus on creating a planter that brings calm, joy, and a little everyday indulgence—perfect for a front porch, patio, or sunny doorstep.

Alison will guide you step-by-step through plant selection, arrangement, and care, sharing simple design tips to help you balance color, fragrance, and form for a truly personalized creation. Whether you’re making a heartfelt gift for Mom—or treating yourself (because moms deserve gardens too!)—you’ll leave with a one-of-a-kind container ready to enjoy all season long.
