Are you a plant-lover who enjoys being creative? Whether you have a green thumb or struggle to keep plants alive, join us for our “Botanical Beading” program!

On the last day, you’ll apply all the techniques you’ve learned to complete a potted project! Whether you attend every session or just one, you’ll have a blast unleashing your inner gardener from the safety of an air-conditioned space.
