Hypertufa I 

Trough Workshops

Ø       We will be offering 6 Hypertufa I trough workshops this season.  

Ø       The troughs are made of a special concrete mixture that makes them lighter weight, more natural looking and able to winter outside.

Ø       Everyone will learn the theory and practical tips of trough making and will then construct a trough of their own.

Ø       The cost of the workshop is $15.

Ø      Each session will be limited to 25 people and advance registration is required.
