One of the distinctive ways that our guests have a glimpse of the bountiful gardens when they arrive at RPM and RPM Bakehouse is by our container gardens.
Participants will learn some of the distinctive tips and tricks of the trade to make container plantings that are unusual, lush and long lasting. We will discuss sourcing containers, equipment and plant matter, how to choose the best materials for your site, and how to change your containers to reflect the seasons.
Good garden pots can be hard to find - we will also have a hands-on segment in which we will make a hypertufa container to take home. Get messy and create a one of a kind light and strong planter you can have fun filling up later! Light refreshments will be provided by our RPM Bakehouse team.
Note: Guests should arrive prepared to be outside, with appropriate footwear for walking on uneven ground. Hats, sunscreen and sunglasses are recommended, as well as a light layer in case the temperature falls. We will provide garden tools, but guests may bring their own garden gloves if desired. Please include details on personal dietary restrictions and allergies when booking.
*In the case of heavy rain or inclement weather, we will postpone the workshop to a future date.
