Newspaper Pots Challenge

Do you have a green thumb? Or, are you interested in becoming more eco-friendly? If so, then join us in The Forge. Learning how to make biodegradable newspaper pots is a perfect way to start. These types of pots are made out of recycled newspaper and can be used to start seedlings or small house plants. You'll learn how to create two distinct styles of biodegradable pots. Plus, once your plant has outgrown its pot, you can simply plant it in the ground – no muss, no fuss!

This challenge will be held 10 a.m.–5 p.m. on April 19 as part of our Earth Day programming.
