#HT0512   Hypertufa Garden Troughs
Monday May 12, 7-9pm & Tuesday May 13, 7-8pm
Alana Miller will guide you through the creation of your own hypertufa planter. Alana makes her own troughs and has more than 25 of them in her home landscape. In the first class you will mix and mold the hypertufa. The second evening you will unmold your container, discuss wintering it over, and see how Alana uses these planters in the landscape. Hypertufa troughs are suitable for a wide range of plantings - dwarf conifers, small flowering shrubs, succulents, tiny creepers like the "steppables," and any plant that appreciates good drainage. Without a drainage hole they are perfect for water gardens. Directions to Alana's home in Webster and a list of what to bring will be provided upon registration. Materials are included.
Limit 8 students.
Fee: members $65, non-members $75
