Pollinator Planter Workshop for Kids
$15.00
Calling all little busy bees! Bring your kiddos to our hands-on Pollinator Planter Workshop for Kids. Each child will paint their own bee-utiful pot, inspired by one of three pollinators, then plant a bright lantana.
As they craft, kids will discover the amazing world of pollinators and the important plants that keep our gardens buzzing with life.

Designed for ages 3 and up (parental assistance needed), this fun, interactive workshop includes all supplies and expert guidance for just $15. Register online or in-store, and walk-ins are welcome while supplies last!

Summer Tea & Wreath Making Workshop
$40.00
Join us for a morning of creativity and classic seasonal charm at our Summer Tea & Wreath Making Workshop on Saturday, June 13th at 11am, exclusively at our Independence Blvd. location. In this hands-on class, you’ll start with a classic faux boxwood wreath, then let our Green Team guide you through the art of bow-making as you learn tips and techniques for creating the perfect statement bow using sweet strawberry-themed ribbon to complete your design.

To make the experience even better, you’ll also receive additional ribbons to create a second bow in a different style, with step-by-step instruction from our Green Team so you can leave with new bow-making skills and plenty of creative inspiration, all while enjoying tea and crumpets as part of this charming, hands-on experience.

Cost is $40 and includes all supplies. Space is limited, so register online or in-store while supplies last.
