Library Social Hour
Craft an Air Plant Ornament
Tuesday, February 24
2:00pm - 3:00pm
All supplies are provided for creating a geometric air plant hanger to brighten your home. Supplies are limited so registration is recommended.
Air plants are members of the diverse Tillandisa genus which is in the bromeliad family. In their native habitat of tropical and subtropical North and South America, these epiphytic plants will be found clinging to trunks and branches of other plants or anything else they can sit on including rocks and buildings. While they use other plants to sit on, they do not harm or take from their host.
Air plants grow without soil. This means they can be grown just about anywhere indoors that receives bright, indirect light. Place them in trays or specialized hangers, grow them in terrariums, or set them in sea shells or glass globes, vases, or dishes. How they are displayed in the home is often only limited by someone’s creativity!
Join others in a relaxed setting to socialize and participate in interactive activities, games or crafts.
