Garden Party! Create a Gemstone Terrarium
It’s a garden party! Join floral and garden designer Leelee of Leelee’s Garden on her last night in Asheville at the Sunny Point Cafe. Bring family, friends, or come solo to create a gemstone and air plant terrarium. This is an open-house style event, so come anytime 6:30-8:30 that works for you!
In this pop-up workshop, you’ll learn the basics of how to care for the popular and easy-to-grow tillandsia (air plants—they need a little more love than just air alone!). And then you’ll get to choose from a variety of glassware, sand, “toppings” and air plants to create your own terrarium. If you want to create an intention garden or just add something sparkly, I will have a selection of gemstones on hand, along with their meanings, for you to add. Pop in, say hi, and create a stunning terrarium to inspire you every day.
All materials included. Food and drinks available for purchase in the restaurant (we’ll be in the garden). Although these are open house style events, please purchase tickets in advance so we know you’re coming and we have plenty of materials on hand!
Tickets available at www.leeleesgarden.com/
