Cement Pumpkin Planter with Succulent

Celebrate the cozy season by creating a charming fall decoration that will last well beyond Halloween! In this hands-on workshop, you’ll make a durable cement pumpkin planter perfect for displaying a small succulent. Along the way, you’ll learn the basics of succulent care, including watering, lighting, pruning, and propagation, so you can keep your plants thriving. Whether displayed indoors or out, your handmade pumpkin planter will bring a festive touch to your home all the way through Thanksgiving—without ever rotting.
Please note: Students will be making one pumpkin planter during class. Although not required, we recommend bringing a lightweight pair of gardening gloves to enhance your class experience.
