Pumpkin Succulent Arrangement Workshop | Brown's Brewing Co, Troy NY
A real pumpkin, topped with live succulents and moss, built by you at Troy's original brewery. Two hours, everything provided, beer fresh from the source at the bar.
What you'll build
A living succulent arrangement on top of a real pumpkin. Moss, succulents, and fall accents, layered until the whole thing looks like it grew that way.
Your pumpkin runs about 6 inches across, so it's a real centerpiece: big enough to anchor a table, small enough to carry out under one arm. You choose your pumpkin and your succulents, and we walk you through the whole build.
Your seat includes
🎃 Your pumpkin, roughly 6" across, hand-picked at the table
🌵 Succulents in fall tones
🍂 Preserved moss and seasonal accents
🌿 Hands-on instruction from a Planter instructor
✨ Every tool and supply, nothing to bring
📖 A care guide for the arrangement and for replanting after
How long it lasts
This one's seasonal by design. Your arrangement will hold beautifully through the fall, usually six to eight weeks indoors. When the pumpkin finally goes, the succulents lift right off and can be replanted. They'll have started rooting by then, and we'll show you how.
Good to know
Brown's has been brewing on River Street since 1993, and the beer is fresh from the source. Full food and drink menu open, available for purchase. Come solo, come with your crew, come on a date. Beginners are the whole point, so if you've killed every plant you've ever owned, you're in the right room.
Seating is limited and we cap every workshop so everyone gets real one-on-one time.
