Succulents have become a staple in modern homes and offices thanks to their low-maintenance beauty and endless design possibilities. But beyond their visual appeal lies an opportunity for creativity, connection, and education, all wrapped into one immersive experience: succulent workshops.
Whether you’re looking for a unique group activity, planning a private event, or just want to unwind and create something beautiful, succulent workshops offer the perfect blend of fun and function. Here’s why these workshops are rapidly growing in popularity and how you can get involved.
What Is a Succulent Workshop?
A succulent workshop is a hands-on, guided experience where participants design and create their own custom succulent arrangements. Led by an expert, like Verdure Studio founder Drew Angers, these workshops walk you through plant selection, soil prep, design strategies, and care techniques.
They’re fun, relaxing, and perfect for beginners, no green thumb required.
Everything is provided: the plants, the soil, the tools, and the creative spark.
Why They’re Perfect for Any Occasion
Succulent workshops are versatile enough to fit just about any event:
Corporate Team-Building: Encourage collaboration and boost morale with an offbeat, screen-free activity.
Bridal Showers & Baby Showers: Give guests something beautiful and meaningful to take home.
Birthday Parties: Celebrate creativity and connection while making something everyone will love.
Girls' Night Out / Date Nights: Add a unique twist to your usual get-togethers.
Fundraisers & Community Events: Create memorable moments while supporting a cause.
Whether you're gathering with two friends or planning for a group of twenty, workshops can be tailored to your needs and location.
What Makes Succulent Workshops So Popular?
1. Creativity Without Pressure
Participants get to design their own arrangements, but there’s no right or wrong. It’s an opportunity to play with color, texture, and shape in a low-stress, supportive environment.
2. Built-In Relaxation
Working with plants has been shown to lower stress, improve focus, and support mental well-being. Add in good company and maybe a glass of wine, and you have the ultimate relaxing evening.
3. Instant Gratification
Unlike other DIY projects that take hours or days to complete, you walk out of a succulent workshop with a finished product in hand. It’s beautiful, it’s useful, and it’s yours.
4. Long-Lasting Impact
These aren’t just one-and-done experiences. You leave with a super low-maintenance living arrangement and the knowledge to keep it thriving. Many participants find themselves starting a new plant hobby after their first workshop.
5. Easy to Host
At Verdure Studio, we bring the entire workshop to you—whether it’s your office, home, or rented event space. We’ll set everything up and guide your group through the process from start to finish.
