First Day (August 30): building the hypertufa troughs. We provide the materials to build two troughs. Limit of 6 participants.

Second Day, (September 27): after your troughs have weathered for a month (to remove alkali), the fun part begins — creating you own alpine, arctic, or fen landscape in miniature. Rocks, stone mulch, clay will be on hand. The workshop fee includes four trough plants from the list below. If you want to add or upgrade, we have other choice small plants available.
