Calling all plant parents! Join Pottery with a Purpose and The Nature Connection for a special Make Your Own Plant Pot or Vase Workshop in our Needham pottery studio (with a special guest appearance). Sculpt your own custom planter - basic, textured, footed, face-shaped, whatever your vibe. Whether your monstera needs a new home or your cactus wants an upgrade, you'll leave with a pot as unique as your plant baby.
Light refreshments (drinks + snacks) will be served! And, we’ll have a special guest... we will be joined by a furry therapy animal to provide a calming, stress-free environment for the group.
