Halloween Plant & Sip: Skull Planter Workshop | Makers Craft Brewery, Norfolk VA
Pick your skull, white or black, then fill it with living tropicals until it's equal parts creepy and gorgeous. Ninety minutes, all supplies included, and you carry it out the door that night ready for the mantel.
What you'll build
A skull planter that's genuinely yours. Choose white or black, then fill it with lush tropical plants, moss, and Halloween decor until it looks the way you want it to. Some people go full haunted forest. Some go elegant and eerie. Both are correct.
Your seat includes
💀 Your skull planter, white or black, your pick
🌿 Tropical plants
🪨 Soil, moss, and decorative stone
🕸️ Halloween decor accents
✨ Every tool you need, nothing to bring
🌱 Hands-on instruction from a Planter instructor
📖 A care guide so it actually survives past Halloween
Good to know
Beer at the bar all night at Makers. Come solo, come with your crew, come in costume if the mood strikes. Beginners are the whole point, so if you've killed every plant you've ever owned, you're in the right room.
This is the kind of thing that sits on your shelf every October from here on out. Not a pumpkin you throw away in November.
Seating is limited and we cap every workshop so everyone gets real one-on-one time.
