We’ll have our famous “Mini Garden Buffet” fully stocked with:
Tiny figurines & whimsical accessories
Mini succulents, cacti, outdoor plants and houseplants
Colorful stones, moss, and magical little extras
Containers.
Our friendly greenhouse team will be there to guide your young gardeners, help spark ideas, and share easy care tips so their creations can thrive long after the weekend ends.
Perfect for kids of all ages (and yes… grown-ups who still believe in fairy gardens ). And the best part? All the mess stays here!
Even More Weekend Fun!
While you’re here, enjoy:
Pot decorating stations
Coloring contests with prizes
And what makes it even sweeter?
MNice Cream Ice Cream Truck will be here Saturday & Sunday serving up their famous glitter-sprinkled ice cream! It’s the perfect treat after a busy day of planting. Be sure to check them out on Instagram @MNiceCream.
COST
You simply pay for the plants and materials you choose for your garden.
REGISTRATION
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1984464498736?aff=oddtdtcreator
Please register for the day you plan to attend.
Only register for the number of pots you plan to create.
You can arrive anytime between 10 am–3 pm on your selected day.
A quick note: You can bring a pot or planting container if you’d like — we will also have some super fun, inexpensive options available here! However, please do not bring fairy accessories from home. It gets a little too confusing during the event — save room in your garden and you can always add special pieces when you get home.
Let their creativity grow, let their imaginations bloom, and kick off spring in the most magical way possible!
