Festival of Trees

Succulent Dish Garden Workshop 

Succulent Dish Garden Workshop with Art Scarpa

As part of our Festival of Trees Celebration Mass Hort is offering this hands-on workshop to create a succulent dish garden to give as a gift or to keep for your own home.

 Your succulent dish garden will be planted in a twelve inch Italian terra cotta container with South African succulents. Art has been growing cacti and succulents since he was a boy and is an expert on their care. Art will provide you with all the information you need to care for your garden year round in a fun and informative presentation. Workshop fee includes plants, soil, container, top-dressing, and hand selected decorative stones. All tools will be provided.

Art Scarpa, known for his expertise in growing succulents and for his love for unusual plants,  is certified as a judge by the Cactus and Succulent Society of America and has competed and judged at numerous major shows, including Boston, Newport and Philadelphia and many regional cactus and succulent shows. Art is also a 2013 Mass Hort Gold Medal recipient.

 Workshop Fee: $45 members; $55 non-members
