Let your imagination bloom as you create your very own miniature fairy or dinosaur garden to take home.
During this hands-on workshop with local Dawn Pauls, participants will design, paint, plant, and decorate a unique living garden while learning basic planting techniques, flower care, and gardening skills suited to the Sun Peaks climate.
Each participant will receive a high-quality terracotta planter to paint and personalize before filling it with a selection of live herbs and seasonal flowers. They'll then bring their garden to life by choosing to add a fairy or dinosaur accessory and natural materials to create a one-of-a-kind miniature world that reflects their own creativity.
To ensure their masterpiece can be enjoyed for months to come, every painted planter will be weatherproofed, making it suitable for display indoors or outdoors.
This workshop blends art, gardening, and imaginative play in a fun, educational environment. Participants will leave not only with a beautiful handcrafted garden, but also with practical gardening knowledge, confidence in caring for living plants, and a keepsake to enjoy and watch grow.
Open to ages 5yrs +
Children under 5yrs welcome with accompanying adult.
