Design Focused Installation

Saturday, March 8th, 8am – 4:30pm

*Please RSVP Below*

This fun workshop will be at a family home, so we will be building this one for the kids (and whole family)! Come ready with your creative minds, because we will be making an interactive design at the onset of this workshop, with specific design activities planned. It should be noted, this design activity will be specific and unique to this particular workshop. We will be focusing on earthworks and elevations this workshop, laying the foundation for a playful and healthy space. At the end of the workshop, we will be seeding and transplanting various cacti, grasses, shrubs, and trees. This project will likely have some continuation on our plant identification workshops/classes we are covering this month.
