Make Your Own Bog Garden
$25 members; $35 non-members
no cost for accompanied children 12 and under.
If you’ve ever been to a pitcher plant bog (or even to the MBG Plaza), you know how unique and fascinating these plants are, especially to children. Take advantage of this workshop to bring a little bit of the bog home!
Participants will learn about the soil composition and conditions necessary to maintain bog plants, and create their own dish garden of pitcher plants, sundews, and more!
