Upcoming Events at City Planter

Hawaiian Happy Hour

Friday Feb 24th - 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm

The Philadelphia Flower Show is only days away and what better way to get ready for the island life than to join City Planter for a Hawaiian happy hour in the store.

Mary is ready to light a fire and grill you some delicious kebabs (mmmm, grilled pineapple!) and rumor has it the fixings for some Mai Tais might be on hand as well.

Plus there will be some Happy Hour Discounts on some of the items in the store! We hope to see you there!

Planting Containers for Small City Spaces

Thursday Mar 8th - 7:00 pm - 7:45 pm

Join Mary Costello of City Planter at the Gardener's Studio (in the main exhibit hall of the Philadelphia Flower Show) to learn about popular tips and trends for container gardening in the city.

Funky Plants for Funky Containers

Saturday Mar 10th - 1:00 pm - 1:45 pm

Your container garden doesn't have to look like a hardware store creation. Join Mary in the Gardener's Studio (in the main exhibit hall of the Philadelphia Flower Show) as she showcases some showstopping plants and the containers cool enough to hold them.

Terrarium Workshop

Friday Mar 16th - 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm

If you've missed our most popular class before, now is the time to get in on what everyone is talking about: the City Planter Terrarium Workshop!

Like our classes before, the cost is $50 per person and includes everything you need to build and take home your very own per...sonal terrarium. You must register and pay in advance (either in person or over the phone) to hold your spot as these classes have been selling out very quickly. Give us a call to secure your space - we will not be able to accommodate you if do not pay in advance.

We hope to see you there!

Kokedama Workshop

Friday Mar 23rd - 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm

If you come to the store or our booth at the Philadelphia Flower Show, you will see the next big thing in the horticulture world: kokedama - the Japanese string garden.

We have them available to purchase, but perhaps you want to build one of your own? Well, now you can.... This workshop will guide you through the process of kokedama, from hand-blending the soil mix to picking what plants and mosses work. Plus, we will share our own tips and secrets that we had to learn the hard way.

Class is $40 and includes all the materials and instruction you will need to create you own string gardens to take home (you will make a small and a medium garden, since they look better in groups). Space is limited. Give us a call to secure your space - we will not be able to accommodate you if do not register and pay in advance.

NOTE: YOU WILL GET DIRTY AT THIS WORKSHOP

Earth Day Terrarium Workshop

Saturday Apr 21st - 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm

Celebrate Earth Day by learning how to build and care for your very own living ecosystem. Terrariums are a small scale mimic of the processes between our atmosphere and plants and a nice reminder that Earth Day really should be every day.

Like our classes before, the cost is $50 per person and includes everything you need to build and take home your very own personal terrarium. You must register and pay in advance (either in person or over the phone) to hold your spot as these classes have been selling out very quickly. Give us a call to secure your space - we will not be able to accommodate you if do not pay in advance.

We hope to see you there!
