Member Monday - Succulent Pumpkins

 Please see below for a list of items to bring.

Let's gather to create a living succulent pumpkin you can use throughout the fall season and as a centerpiece for Thanksgiving. It will last for many months if kept outside after the holidays. The pumpkin eventually rots, and then you can transplant the succulents into a pot or the soil.

Please provide your own pumpkin

Ones with flat tops are best, such as Cinderella pumpkins. You can also bring several of the mini pumpkins in lieu of the large pumpkins.

Painted Pumpkins: Some like to spray paint pumpkins for the holidays . Colors that work well are copper, silver and/or gold. You can then use them for the Christmas season by adding a few ornaments! If interested, spray your pumpkins before coming to the class.

Some Succulents will be provided

Some succulents will be provided, however, if you can, please bring cuttings from home or bring mini succulents (you can purchase at local garden centers...as many as you can!

It takes anywhere from 20-50 succulents per pumpkin. Any size OK. The more variety we have the better! You can also bring dried moss, leaves, acorns, dried seed pods, etc. to add to your succulent display.

Items needed for the class:

• Pumpkin (Buy them ASAP as the stores remove them as soon as Halloween is over!! The good ones go quickly!)
  
• Succulents
  
• Garden clippers
• Glue gun and glue sticks 
• A box to carry your completed project home!
