    Using hypertufa, made from sand or perlite combined with cement and peat moss, you will create a molded planter to take home and plant. The finished product is lighter in weight than concrete and can be planted with sedum or hens and chicks, rare alpines, or even shade-loving plants. The finished trough has an ancient look, like stone, and is easy to make. All of the materials for creating the troughs will be supplied. The instructors will provide step-by-step instruction. Dress to get dirty. Please bring a pair of sturdy rubber gloves for kitchen use. We will meet at Bloomfield Farm. Look for the paved road across Northwestern Avenue from the public garden entrance. Park in the lot and follow the signs to the Hort. Center.
