Knot & Nurture | Macramé & Plant Propagation Workshop
Join us for a fun, hands-on workshop where green thumbs and crafty hands come together! This program is perfect for both adults and kids, offering a unique opportunity to learn about houseplant propagation and create a macramé plant hanger to take home.

Participants will learn how to multiply houseplants using simple techniques and discover which plants are easiest to propagate and how to care for them. We’ll also guide you step-by-step to make your own plant hanger. Each participant will leave with a propagated plant and a macramé plant hanger.
The macramé plant hanger class is youth-centered, including any adult role. This program is FREE and registration is required by Oct. 17.
