BOTTLE PLANTER WORKSHOP

PLANT SUCCULENTS IN UPCYCLED BOTTLE PLANTERS

Plantitude Bottle Planters are upcycled from wine, champagne and liquor bottles. Bottles are individually selected based on the colour, shape and glass thickness to match the intended finished product.

 

What you can expect from the workshop

Participants will be able to choose from a selection of upcycled horizontal bottle planters for the workshop.

We will show you the steps to select and plant the succulents, type of gritty mix to use for good water drainage, how to decorate the planter and tips on how to maintain the plants at home.

Suitable for teenagers and adults. Children between 7-12 years can participate with adult supervision.

Duration: 1.5-2 hours

Participants bring home a potted bottle planter.

 

More about the bottle planters

The upcycled planters are suitable for succulents, fittonias, pothos and other small ornamental plants. Some designs are also suitable for growing herbs. They each come with a drainage hole to avoid roots becoming waterlogged.

 

TERRARIUM WORKSHOP

MAKE YOUR OWN TERRARIUM IN UPCYCLED JARS

A terrarium is sometimes called a glass garden. It is planted to look like a miniature garden and it is usually made in glass containers.

 

 

What you can expect from the workshop

Plantitude opted to upcycle used and cleaned glass jars to be more sustainable. We will show you the steps to build the layers in your terrarium, how to plant your fittonias and decorate the mini garden.

We will share tips on how to care for your terrarium at home, and what other accessories you can add on your own.

Suitable for adult and children aged 7 and above

Duration: 1- 1.5 hours

Participants bring home a terrarium in an upcycled jar

 

More about the upcycled jars

The upcycled jars used for this workshop will be collected from My Naked Bar, so that we can give a second life to the jars for oils used in her production of cold processed soaps. We will wash and clean the jars for the workshop.
