UPCOMING EVENTS
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!
