Crochet Succulents
Halawa Xeriscape Garden Workshop

What

crochet succulents workshopA hands on workshop offered by the Board of Water Supply (BWS) and Friends of Halawa Xeriscape Garden (FOHXG) will teach you how to make either a crochet cactus or succulent potted plant. These realistic imitations are a perfect addition to your household or office décor. The best part about owning a faux cactus or succulent is that they don’t need any watering, bugs won’t bother them and all you have to do is find a nice spot to display them. You’ll be surprised at how many people will need a closer look to determine if these are real or not!
