Pick your pot – come and go – succulent workshop

     In collaboration with Kristy’s Succulent Kreations, Henning Community Education is excited to offer a “pick your pot” succulent arrangement potting workshop.

During this fun evening out, you will get to select and plant your own succulent arrangement in a pot of your choice. Kristy’s Succulent Kreations has a variety of colorful succulents, pots, and finishings (rocks and moss) in a variety of colors for you to select from.

     This is a come-and-go event. Please allow 45 minutes to 1 hour to complete your arrangements with hands-on guidance from Kristy Nohl with Kristy’s Succulent Kreations. If you would like to bring an additional pot of your own to plant, you can do so and pay for plants used after potting your first arrangement. Please message Kristy at (701) 212-9797 if you plan to do so.

     This will be a laid-back and relaxing night with a chance to get out and create something beautiful. This would be the perfect time for making a gift, a display piece for your home, having a night out with your friends or a parent/child grandparent/grandchild planting night! Printed care instructions provided and questions are welcome. 

The class fee is $46

The class is scheduled for Monday, Feb. 26 from 6-8 p.m. in the Henning Public School Art Room. Open to the public, youth through adults welcome.
