A Special Workshop Presented by Sheri Mikami of Halawa Xeriscape Garden and the Board of Water Supply
Location: Soto Mission of Aiea
Date: Tuesday, January 24, 2023
Time: 8:45 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.
Fee: $15 per person (adults only)
Reuse a plastic jug to create a “Good Luck” planter! You will be repurposing material minimizing waste that goes to our landfill! You can use your creative container for your favorite plant or a succulent garden. Attend this fun hands-on, DIY (Do It Yourself) workshop to transform a recycled 1 gallon plastic jug into a Maneki Neko OR Daruma planter. This workshop is open to the public.
The workshop fee includes project supplies to make one planter, Maneki Neko OR Daruma, and xeric starter cuttings. Dress comfortably—you may get acrylic paint on your clothes.
Attendees should bring:
· 1 gallon recycled plastic (milk/juice/tea) jug which is rinsed and dried. Caution: Do not use goo gone or oil to remove labels from your jug as your paint will not adhere to the jug.
· Box or bag to take home your planter.
· Your own beverage to drink & snack to eat during workshop.
Registration is now open through Tuesday, January 3, 2023. In order to prepare properly for the workshop, no late registration will be accepted… Space is strictly limited to the first 15 paid participants. Sorry, no walk-ins.
