Concrete workshop




I had a great time yesterday. One friend from WebGarden wanted to learn how to make hypertufa planters and garden ornaments and I told her I would be interested as well. She was able to organize a workshop taught by another member, in Homestead, 1 hour 30 minutes away from our house, and I was able to attend. Don stayed with the kids all day so that was very nice.

We learned how to make concrete castings and it was a lot of fun. The teacher, Amanda, and the other women were hilarious and we were laughing the whole time. Amanda was wonderful, and she took us for a nature walk (where we stole cherry tomatoes from an abandoned garden and seeds and cuttings from everywhere), she picked a great place to have lunch and even gave us a completion certificate, saying we were now qualified to play in the mud.
