Spooky season is upon us, and we’re celebrating by creating 8"-inch round bog terrariums that include two carnivorous plants. Learn how to care for your new picky eaters and maintain their particular environments, as their care differs from traditional tropical terrariums. A unique and living decoration that gets bigger and better with each Halloween season.

Bring the look and feel of a quiet and sheltered forest nook into your home with an eye-catching and low-maintenance preserved moss and air plant wall art piece. The vibrant colors and textures of the preserved moss make a perfect backdrop for these epiphytic wonder plants. Each participant will receive a small wooden board to be decorated with preserved moss, provided in an array of colors, and two tillandsia plants. This touch-of-the-wild can best be admired in a humid space like a bathroom or perhaps as a gift to a friend entering the wonderful world of plants.

This is a neighborhood wide event in the Near Northwest! Botany will join in on the fun with a plant swap and drop in re pots. This will be your last chance to repot with Botany for the season, so make a plan to bring your plants down for some fresh soil! If you have any pest free plants you want to donate or swap, we will have a table set up for plant swapping too. The area will be alive with live music, food and lots of fun, come down and see us!
