Spooky Cauldron Workshop: Tropical Plants | Las Margaritas, Latham NY
Pick your cauldron, green or black, then fill it with live tropicals and spooky decor until it's exactly as witchy as you want it. Two hours, a margarita in reach, and everything provided.
What you'll build
A cauldron planter, alive and overflowing. You pick green or black, then fill it with lush tropicals in silvery purples and pink-veined greens, tuck in moss, and add your spooky decor. Some people go full witchy. Some go elegant and eerie. Both are correct.
The trailing varieties spill over the rim the way a cauldron should, and no two tables leave with the same thing.
Your seat includes
🖤 Your cauldron planter, green or black, your pick
🌿 Live tropicals, including trailing varieties
🪨 Soil, drainage, and preserved moss
🍄 Spooky decor accents
🌱 Hands-on instruction from a Planter instructor
✨ Every tool you need, nothing to bring
📖 A care guide so it actually survives past Halloween
Good to know
Tropicals keep going year round, so this one lives well past October. Pull the spooky decor out in November and you've got a cauldron of houseplants.
Las Margaritas has the full menu and bar open, available for purchase. Order a margarita, split some chips, build a cauldron. It's a better Wednesday than the one you had planned.
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.
Pick your color at checkout. We bring a set number of each, and when a color's gone it's gone.
📍 710 Loudon Rd, Latham NY. Parking on site.
