PAINTING PINEAPPLES

Halawa Xeriscape Garden Workshop

WHATPainting Pineapples

The second of our “Paint in the Garden,” Series, is a fun-filled, NO PAINTING EXPERIENCE REQUIRED workshop! This workshop is inspired by Hawaii’s all-time local favorite, The Pineapple! Participants receive step-by-step instructions from start to finish. As they complete their masterpiece they will learn about the care and unique characteristics of the Pineapple, a member of the Bromeliad family. In real life, this drought tolerant plant can help reduce outdoor water consumption when used in your landscape. This new and exciting, hands-on workshop is offered by the Board of Water Supply (BWS), Friends of Halawa Xeriscape Garden (FOHXG) and Erika Brown, member of FOHXG.
