DIY Mortar-Planter Workshop

Join Eric Thomann for a hands-on workshop inspired by techniques he discovered during his travels in Central America. Learn how to create durable 2 to 4-gallon mortar planters using infused landscape fabric and mortar mix. These solid, stylish planters are built to last a lifetime! GreenThumb will provide all the supplies you need, and participants will leave with their handcrafted planters and a bag of mortar mix to continue creating at home. Bring a large bag to carry your new planters and materials. This workshop is a perfect opportunity to combine craftsmanship with gardening—don’t miss it!
