Plant (Self)Care
Join us for a relaxing, hands-on plant workshop in collaboration with the Czech Centres, as part of their “Safe Spaces” project.
Who should attend?
Everyone is welcome. It’s especially good for absolute beginners in plant care and for mindfulness seekers. The workshop will be held entirely in English.
What to expect (3 hours, 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM):
Let’s Talk Plants (60+ min): A cozy presentation in two parts with a short break in between. It covers houseplant care basics (light, watering, soil), propagation, diagnosing common problems, and the connection between plants and mental health.
The Power of Clay (10–15 min): A quick intro into planting in clay pots. Why terracotta is good for roots and moisture control, and how it differs from plastic pots.
Design Your Own Pot (30 min, on the roof): A hands-on session to decorate your pot with colors. We’ll seal it with a waterproof fixing spray so the colors won’t wash away.
A Little Break (20 min): Relax while your pots dry.
Plant Your Little Corner (20 min, on the roof): We’ll pot a plant step by step, together. You’ll choose your plant, put it in your freshly decorated pot, and take it home.
Why Grow in Pottery? (10 min, on the roof): An easy going wrap-up chat, ending with a group photo of everyone with their finished plants.
What to wear:
We’ll be working with soil, so wear comfortable clothes you don’t mind getting a little dirty.
