about our pricing

with the purchase of a ticket, you help us provide free workshops to our local community. check out past free events.

the ticket price also accounts for:

  • high-quality cedar wood we use to build the planter. we chose this type of wood because it is highly resistant to rotting; and

  • the cost of labor for the instructors’ time and energy. we pride ourselves in being BIPOC owned and hope that you and the community recognize the value we provide!
