The Plant Provocateur Workshops for 2018 continue with the return of Master Woodcarver Yo Takimoto and his meditative Japanese Woodcarving Workshop.  Yo teaches the meditative art of Japanese Kikezuri Woodcarving.  The art of Kikezuri asks the participant to leave their intentions behind and allow the wood's nature to emerge as you carve.  It's a very relaxing and surprisingly soothing process.  If you haven't experienced this amazing workshop...here's your chance!  A brilliant way to de-stress and decompress.

Workshop participants are provided with wood at the time of the workshop, tools for carving, and instruction.  You make and take what you carve.  The workshop session is limited to 6 people.  Class fee is $65 which includes all materials and instruction.  Workshop session takes place on the patio at The Plant Provocateur.  Event is 3 hours long.  Tickets are available through the 'SHOP' menu above.

I've hinted at it for some time now.  Well it's finally here.  The Plant Provocateur Carnivorous Plant Workshop is happening Sunday, June 11th, 12-2pm.  This is a workshop for those interested in learning about, working with and experiencing the world of carnivorous plants.  Carnivorous plants are those plants that eat insects and do it in the most interesting ways.  Their savage beauty is absolutely fascinating. 

This workshop will teach you how to identify different types of carnivorous plants, how they eat, and how they grow.  Participants will get to choose (2) plants from a selection to pot up, cultivate, take home, and call their very own.  Additional plants will also be available for sale.  They grow beautifully on a windowsill or outside in the garden.  The Plant Provocateur has searched high and low for some truly unique, unusual, and captivating carnivorous plants for this workshop.  Come prepared to experience the strange, the mysterious, rare chicness of these botanical wonders. Perhaps like nothing you've seen before.
