Fall Succulent Centerpiece Workshop: Paint a Pumpkin or Pick a Planter | Tides Coastal Kitchen, Virginia Beach VA
Paint your own ceramic pumpkin or pick a fall leaf planter that's already gorgeous, then fill it with live succulents and take it home the same night. Your Thanksgiving centerpiece, handled.
Choose your planter
π Paint-Your-Own Pumpkin: A white ceramic pumpkin you decorate with paint markers before you plant. Simple leaves, dots, lettering, whatever feels like you. Inspiration cards are on the table if you want ideas.
π Fall Leaf Planter: A ceramic planter that already has hand-drawn autumn leaves on it. No painting, just straight into building your arrangement. Perfect if youβd rather spend all your time on the plants.

What youβll build
Either way, you leave with a living succulent centerpiece you made yourself. We walk you through drainage, soil, and arranging your succulents, trailing string of pearls, moss, and fall accents so it looks full and actually thrives long after the leftovers are gone.
