SACXS Monthly Meeting

Wednesday, March 18, 2026

7:00 PM 

at the 

San Antonio Garden Center

March
Meeting Program: 
Making POTS 
from ROCKS!!!

Presented by Alyssa Danna

Presentation Description:

We love finding a plant nestled into it’s surroundings- 
 be it limestone or granite- so why not take it a step further 
and create some beautiful pots out of those very rocks? 
 

We will start with loose stones and arrange them to form a small vessel 
 and use a quick set cement to lock them in place. 
 

The club will provide common stone, but you are welcomed to bring your own for a unique product! We will also have cement and a variety of 
 

Tupperware available for you to make and take home your project to allow the cement to cure.

These Pots Rock!!

 

 

Visitors are Welcome!
