Workshop: Make a ‘hearty’ Valentine dish garden

On Saturday, Feb. 11, at 10 a.m., Green Acres Nursery & Supply is hosting “Create Your Own Valentine Pot Up,” an in-store special “Create Class.” The finished creation uses houseplants evocative of the holiday: Their flowers or foliage are shaped like hearts or have red accents.

“Join us for a fun and creative Valentine’s Day-themed activity!” says the Green Acres announcement. “Our experienced garden gurus will guide you in creating a unique houseplant pot featuring an Anthurium, Red Margin Peperomia, and a String of Hearts planted in a modern and stylish Modernist Face Planter.”

Besides making the houseplant container garden, participants will get some hands-on plant education.

“Not only will you leave with a beautiful new plant, but also with the knowledge of how to care for it,” says Green Acres. “Perfect as a treat for yourself or a loved one. Space is limited to 20 participants per location.”

Tickets are $45 with registration online here: https://idiggreenacres.com/pages/create-class-valentines-day-pot-up.

The class is offered at five Green Acres locations: Citrus Heights, Elk Grove, Folsom, Rocklin and Roseville.
