Hypertufa Trough Workshop

Beth Jimenez and Amelia Lane, Lasting Impressions and JCRA Volunteers

• Saturday, July 25, 2026 — 9 am - 12 pm

Hypertufa troughs were developed in England as an alternative to old stone sinks which were used to feed and water livestock. They provide excellent drainage and can highlight those special small plants that you have! A planted trough can be a garden unto itself. Participants will mix the ingredients, build a container, and learn how to release a finished container from its mold.

Participants should wear work clothes and have a flat area approximately 2' × 2' in their car for taking their completed trough home.

Make it a full day! Register for the afternoon Cast Concrete Leaf Workshop.
