Hypertufa Container Making

Pre-conference Workshop

Thursday September 23rd at 10:00 am
Arlington Garden

Steve Gerischer leads a super-fun, hands-on, messy activity for
grown-ups! Using cement, perlite and natural fibers, each
participant will make a relatively lightweight container that
resembles an old stone trough. All materials provided. Hypertufa,
a mixture of cement, perlite and coir fiber is a strong, relatively
lightweight material which can be used to create many different
garden projects; planting troughs, birdbaths, fountains, lanterns,
and even benches, walls, and stepping stones. Learn the "how to"
by creating a small pot or planter you will take home with you in
this fun and messy workshop--all materials and instructions will
be provided. Dress in your garden grubbies, and wear a hat.

FEE: $30; $5 of your fee will go to support Arlington Garden in Pasadena.
