Hypertufa Workshop

Lockerly’s Horticulture Director, Debbie Foster, will lead a hands-on plant containerworkshop on Tuesday, June 14 th using a material called Hypertufa (hy-per- TOO-fa). Hypertufa is made by mixing cement, perlite, and peat, which can be shaped into containers and sculptured forms.  Containers can be made using a plastic bowl or cardboard box as a mold, or shaped to fit a design idea. Accent features can be added to a container, including colored glass or small pieces of tile. Hypertufa containers add a unique look to a group of potted plants. Lockerly’s workshop will be held from 9:30-11:00 on Tuesday morning, June 14 th at the Arboretum. Participants should wear shoes and clothes that can get dirty and damp.  Registration is available online at lockerly.org/events. Friends of Lockerly may register for $12 per adult. Nonmember registration is $15 per adult. Children ages 6-14 may participate when accompanied by an adult at an additional cost of $7.00.
