Easy DIY Pumpkin Succulent Planter Centerpieces

We’re all in the middle of Pumpkin Season, and I’m loving it! If you have started stockpiling pumpkins or saving it for a fun project, here’s one that you can do with your friends or family, and you don’t need any previous skills or a green thumb to walk away with a beautiful Pumpkin Succulent Planter! ARMSTRONG GARDEN CENTERS teaches this make-and-take class once a year, and it includes all the materials. All you need to do is pre-register and then show up. You’re going to walk away with a one-of-a-kind centerpiece to adorn any front door or porch. I have been waiting for this class to come around again, and I have been hoping to do it with friends. (Save the Date! The next one is Saturday, October 21st at 9am.)
