Horticulture Experience: Designing Desert
Create a living desert terrarium in this horticultural workshop in the Sunnylands gardens.
Featuring the wide array of plants that thrive in a desert climate, participants will be introduced to the unique adaptations of cacti, succulents, and more during a brief lecture with Sunnylands' center director.
During the hands-on portion of the workshop, led by master gardener Ian Roberts-Santos, participants will then build their own terracotta terrarium to take home as a living work of art that reflects the desert ecosystem. Great for hobbyists.
