Planted Pumpkins
Our seasonal exclusive Planted Pumpkin Workshop is now available for private events! Steph will come set up all supplies, including locally grown white or orange pie pumpkins, a huge assortment of succulent cuttings, fresh sphagnum moss, how glue guns and sticks, plus a variety of decorative accents to choose from. No two creations will be the same! Steph will walk your party through the steps of building your own botanical beaut, and give each guest a detailed care guide in order to ensure everyone’s projects stay looking their best!
How it works
Stress Free Setup
When you book your private event, you get to choose when and where the workshop will be. After that, Steph does the rest! As a Steph’s Sprouts guest, you have full access to the class set of workshop tools, including hot glue guns, power strips, and extension cords. You just need to provide the workshop space and outlet access!
Self-paced activity
This activity is self paced, but usually takes about an hour once materials are gathered. While Steph is there to provide guidance, participants are encouraged to take their time on each step to ensure they are happy with their finished projects.
What does it cost?
You’re charged $32 per participant. For that price, you get your choice of a white or orange pie pumpkin, around 20 succulents, moss, decorations, and a plant care guide.
A $50 deposit will be collected upon booking to hold your date. The remaining balance is due on or before the date of service.
Who can participate?
This workshop is great for succulent enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels! Guests under 10 years old should have adult supervision, just to be safe. Hot glue guns are used in this activity.
Does the pumpkin go bad?
Eventually, yes! In this workshop, we plant succulents ON the pumpkin rather than carving it, which increases the lifespan of the pumpkin greatly! Typically pumpkins will last through October, and partway through November. Depending on the conditions wherever you decide to display your completed project, your creation may last even longer than that!
What happens after the pumpkin goes bad?
Whenever your pumpkin begins to look lackluster, you can gently pull your succulents out of the moss and glue that secured them to the pumpkin. The succulents should have taken root in the sphagnum moss, so be gentle in pulling your succulents out as to not break off their fresh baby roots. Once your succulents are free, you can plant them in a regular pot with succulent or cactus soil. If you need help with any part of the process, Steph is happy to assist!
